Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I got to Underdog Records right after opening and Jonathan and De had spent the week rearranging the store, so we had to get our bearings but it was cool to see the change. We had a beer tour with The Joneses last night so we only got one album in…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a good day. The weather was perfect, the day was perfect. The BCPF and I got up and enjoyed a “Staycation” day, going to Underdog Records, eating lunch at The Porch, listening to records all afternoon. It was fantastic. We got some good stuff. Here’s the haul: Elliott Smith – Elliott Smith — A…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a national holiday for record collectors, although it didn’t feel like it. In recent years, I would have camped out overnight in front of Underdog Records in anticipation of Record Store Day. And, it would have been mid- to late-April. But, all that went out the window with C-19. RSD was postponed…
Salutations™!! Today is the 35th anniversary of The Head On The Door from The Cure. A great album, for sure. This is one of my faves from the album and one of my faves from them overall. Paramore does a really good job here. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “And I know…
Salutations™!! It was a short “haul” this week. The BCPF and I went to say goodbye to West End Coffee House as Jim and Dana had their final day open. We went to Underdog Records. We went to BLL Rotisserie Factory and then came home, listened to some records, and later, had friends over and…
Salutations™!! First of all, here’s to remembering all who sacrificed everything to ensure that I can write this blog day after day, argue or agree with people, talk on my podcasts, have my cake and eat it too. Happy Memorial Day, y’all. Also, today is the 33rd anniversary of The Cure’s Kiss Me, Kiss Me,…
Salutations™!! I am so longing for the opportunity to get back into Underdog Records and rummage through the used albums, some new albums and just to see Jonathan again. This is getting rougher as the time slips away. We’ve eaten well, though. This week was a lot shorter in both the headphone/streaming listening and the…
Salutations™!! Today is the 31st anniversary of The Cure’s Disintegration album. I love this band. I love this song. I love the singer doing the cover (once you get past the chattiness). Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Whenever I’m alone with you, you make me feel like I am young again. Whenever…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversaries of several albums: ABBA’s ABBA (45th), Pete Townshend’s Empty Glass (40th), Bananarama’s Bananarama (36th), Accept’s Russian Roulette (34th), Siouxsie And The Banshees’ Tinderbox (34th), Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Let Me Up (I’ve Had Enough) (33rd), Beastie Boys’ Check Your Head (28th), and The Cure’ Wish (28th). This is the tune I had to go with,…
Salutations™!! More of the same, I’m afraid… Today is the 45th anniversary of the ZZ Top album, Fandango! It is also the 40th anniversary of The Cure’s Seventeen Seconds. It’s the 32nd anniversary of Erasure’s The Innocents and 31st anniversary of The Pixie’s Doolittle. I love this song. I have since I first heard it and if I ever…
