Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I did a lot of running around yesterday. We had grocery shopping to do for the last day of our “French” cooking trip, getting proper cooking and storage vessels for said cooking trip, getting lunch, all of that. But, of course, we got our Underdog Records fix in. Here’s the haul:…
Salutations™!! Today is the 57th anniversary of The Beatles’ third album (UK), A Hard Day’s Night. The first side was the soundtrack to the film but the whole album is pretty righteous. These brothers sound great doing this version. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“When I’m home, everything seems to be right. When…
Salutations™!! We got very little listening in yesterday as we had several other “errands” or “just wanted to dos” but, we got some in. It was a chilly but beautiful day yesterday. Here’s the haul: Oasis – (What’s The Story) Morning Glory? — #378 on the RS list that matters and rises to #157 on the one…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, it was announced that murderous, yet borderline genius Phil Spector had passed away at the age of 81. Spector was serving out a 19-to-life in prison for the murder of Lana Clarkson whom he shot in his mansion/castle in Los Angeles. Be that as it may, he was previously best known for his…
Salutations™!! Today is the 52nd anniversary of one of the Beatles most polarizing albums. Now, is it a Beatles album? I think so. A lot of it (the whole second side) is instrumental selections that George Martin wrote for the animated film’s soundtrack. I like those, too. Side A, though, has a lot of great…
Salutations™!! Yesterday a Beatles album. Today a Beatles album. Today is the 56th anniversary of Beatles for Sale. I am a huge Beatles fan but I’ll admit their pre-1965 stuff I’m less enthused about. I will just leave it at that. I like it, but my favorite stuff is from Help! on. But, outside of…
Salutations™!! Today is the 55th anniversary of one of the greatest albums of all time. While The Beatles have all great albums, there are a few that really soar high. This is in my top 5 Beatles albums and I’d probably go with it being #5. This is a song that is used a lot….
Salutations™!! There are a number of releases celebrating anniversaries today. To me, the two biggest are Abbey Road (51) from The Beatles and Shout at the Devil (37) from Motley Crue. But, really do any other albums released today matter as much as Abbey Road? At least to me, they do not. It is probably…

Salutations™!! Today is the 54th anniversary of The Beatles’ Revolver album. It is one of those that rotate in and out of my top slot for the band. It contains one of my favorite Beatles songs (which doesn’t?) and I have recently found the copy of me doing it all myself, that I have been missing…
Salutations™!! As has been the case for the last month, we haven’t really gotten anything new because Underdog Records is affected just like everything else in the world right now. So, in the spirit of “normalcy,” or the “Now Normal” that I call it, I used my listening time during the week hitting Discogs’ awesome…
