Sounds Like Saturday or: Moving

Salutations™!! Today is the 43rd anniversary of The Cars’ self-titled debut album. This album is great from front to back. Just like yesterday, I was lucky enough to do the VSS show that featured the music of The Cars. I had two songs and both were from this album. Here we are from The Ramkat…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 2/6/21

Salutations™!! Yesterday was Jonathan’s birthday, so The BCPF and I went to a local coffee shop and got him a special coffee and pain au chocolate. He turned 40! Yay, him!! Here’s our haul: Pat Benatar – Wide Awake In Dreamland — This was her last rock oriented album of the 80s. She went bluesy after that….

Sounds Like Saturday or: Stereo

Salutations™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of the Cars self-titled debut. This album is awesome from front to back. And, for the second time in a few days, you get to see me in action, again, albeit a truncated version. This is one of my faves from this album and from the band. Enjoy! Until…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listen 5/23/20

Salutations™!! Another Saturday passes that we didn’t get to darken the door of Underdog Records. That doesn’t mean Underdog isn’t busy. Heck no! Jonathan is running himself ragged to make deliveries and has extended the reach to Greensboro, High Point and other places. So, definitely watch the Underdog Records Facebook and Instagram and watch what…

Spinning Monday or: The Listen 5/9/20

Salutations™!! Yep, I am a day behind on this because yesterday was Mother’s Day. So, Underdog Records is still “closed” and Jonathan says that while he does see reopening in the near future, it will still be several weeks, and procedures within the store will be different. He’s doing a shload of deliveries right now,…

Groovin’ or: Oh, For Heavens Sake

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…

To Those Gone or: RIP

Salutations™!! I’ve not had a chance to say RIP to the two names in music that we lost this past week. So, I’ve not been a big fan of Eddie Money or his music, but what I did like, I liked a good bit. He tried to join the police force (as his family was…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Stereo, The Move

Salutations™!! Last night was a fantastic night. I loved playing with my VSS brothers (and sister) doing the songs of The Cars at The Ramkat. This is one of the two I did and whilst I did look for a good cover… I really must play from the master himself, Ben Orr and the Cars…

Shake It Up or: VSS

Salutations™!! If you’re on the fence about what to do tonight, well, start off by heading over to Ember Audio + Design at 5 for their PVD (Public Vinyl Demo) and then walk across the street to see Vagabond Saints Society doing the songs of The Cars. I’m performing two songs tonight. It will be…

Can You Be a Vagabond in a Car? or: Less Than Normal

Salutations™!! It was a weird week for me as far as podcasting goes. Of the five TLD Network shows, only The Less Desirables was recorded, although we may pull off a Fan Interference tomorrow, we’ll see. But, it was a good episode of The Less Desirables. Charyl Ann Lipstreu was in the studio and we…
