Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 5/29/21

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…

Spinning Sunday or: The Haul 9/5/20

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…

Spinning Sunday or: Record Store Day Drop One

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…

Memorial or: Kiss Me x 3

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,…

Spinning Sunday or: The Listen 5/2/20

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…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Disintegration

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…

Sounds Like Saturday or: Erasure

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.
