Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Today is the 44th anniversary of Supertramp’s Even in the Quietest Moments album. Roger Hodgson is doing this hit with three Berliner siblings. It’s cool. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“See the man with the lonely eyes. Oh take his hand, you’ll be surprised.” – “Give a Little Bit” (Hodgson)
Salutations™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of one of my all time favorite albums, Breakfast in America by Supertramp. So many good songs on this album and not just the “hits.” Of course, the hits are fantastic and I chose this one because, as I’ve said, I love composite vids. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of a few albums. The Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers (49th) and Black and Blue (44th), The Ramones’ self-titled debut (44th), Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll: Too Young to Die! from Jethro Tull (44th), Bob Dylan at Budokan (41st), Men At Work’s Two Hearts (35th), Two Hearts, the Dave Mason album (33rd), Joe…
Salutations™!! Today in the DJ for the Ren-o sessions, I played two albums that had the same exact anniversary. That’s Tonight I’m Yours from Rod Stewart and Shake It Up from The Cars. Both of those were from November 6, 1981. Then came a random grab of Breakfast in America from Supertramp. I played The Chronic from Dr. Dre…
Salutations™!! Since yesterday was Father’s Day, we did our grocery shopping on Saturday after breakfast before running over to Underdog Records before we had to be in Greensboro for a Cobras game Saturday night. So, here’s the haul: Calexico / Iron & Wine – Years To Burn — The BCPF is a huge fan of both acts and having albums…
Salutations™!! Still recovering from the vocal calisthenics? Yeah, me too. Well, yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the release of Breakfast In America from Supertramp. I don’t like how she seems distant and unenthused but her tone, pitch and range are great. So, enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZfxiR_o2g Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “There are…
Salutations™!! I saw a meme yesterday, pretty much admonishing John Fogerty that yes, indeed, we have seen the (expletive) rain. Rain is needed but we have had our fill over the last three months. It’s winter, couldn’t it at least be snow or something? Anywhat! We did get around to Underdog Records despite the inclement…
Salutations™!! At Underdog Records yesterday, I was able to finally, once and for all, tackle a certain Beatles problem that I have had over the last few years. You’ll find out about it in this haul: The Beatles – Rubber Soul — So, I have been burned (by my own self) over and over finding this on vinyl….
Salutations™!! We didn’t walk yesterday because it was misting/drizzling and I hate being wet. I didn’t want to get caught up in the deluge. Anywhat! The BCPF and I still ate at Mary’s Gourmet Diner, went to Underdog Records, did a lot of record listening and met our friends at Willows Bistro last night….
Salutations™!! First off, notice I changed the title of this one. It seems my Sunday posts are a bit verbose at times, and they’re usually about records. Neither of which really lends to the “silent” aspect of Silent Sunday. So, I think I’m changing the “haul” posts up a bit. I’ll still do Silent Sunday…
