Salutations™!!

On Asylum – Tales from the Devereaux Diaries Podcast tonight, the Kousins made their own fantasy list of what a KISS MY A$$ II (Again, Once More, etc.) would look like. Actually, two of the Kousins got one entry (both artist and song) the same. They must be related. They actually got two matches but one was only an honorable mention so you choose to count that or not. For those of you not familiar with what I’m talking about, KISS My A$$ was a KISS tribute album that was actually put together by KISS, at least who got to do what on the album. So, if there was another one made this is how we’d want it to look. If you’re a KISS fan, who would you want to see or hear do KISS songs? Gimme about 10-15 entries. And… GO!

Listen to that episode here. And today’s BWVD here.

Today on The Man Who Ate the Town, Ray and I discuss a “hidden” dress code for a local restaurant and why people are losing their minds. Or, better yet, WHY ARE people losing their minds over this? This and other restaurant/food news. Listen to the episode here.

You have food news? Let me know so I can let my listeners know.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Spinning Sunday or: The “Haul” 7/17/21

Salutations™!!

This week’s haul is a short one, just like last week’s. Yesterday was Record Store Day and I didn’t really want much. I had a friend who was #1 in line and got me two King’s X records that I’ll put in next week, when I get to them. I don’t have them in hand, yet. Here’s the haul:

Rush – Rush — An EX condition “ORIGINAL PRESSING” copy of the debut Rush album. The cover is a little worn but the vinyl is immaculate. The only Rush album that didn’t have Neil Peart on drums and it’s still an excellent album. Can you imagine the joy for Mercury when they realized they signed Rush based on the strength of this album and as a bonus you have one of the most prominent, talented and well-known drummers in prog music history, heck just music history? Win win for them.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young – Déjà Vu ♦ Alternates — I guess we got out of the Fleetwood Mac “alternates” and have moved into CSNY for the Record Store Day exclusives. You get a lot of “demos,” “early versions,” “alternate mixes,” andmore on these. I really enjoyed the Fleetwood Mac ones and this was pretty cool, too. New.

Underdog Records will be going back to normal now, I think. RSD always push Jonathan to his limits but I think the one in June and this one came out well for him. That’s cool. What RSD stuff he didn’t sell yesterday will be on the website probably today and you can get what you want along with any other new vinyl he has by visiting the website. I use Discogs to make sure I don’t already have something in my collection when I’m buying. I also use it to just keep up with what I have and use the handy randomize feature. You should use it, too.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…

This week on Asylum: Tales from the Devereaux Diaries podcast, we talked about Ace Frehley’s 1987 post-KISS debut, called Frehley’s Comet. What did the Kousins think of this album? You know you’ll have to listen for that. You can do that here. Have you heard the album? Did you like it? Let us know!

Tonight was Kristen Daukas takeover on The Less Desirables. Eugene was supposed to be her co-host/guest for the evening but he had to miss because of family emergency. So, even though I was supposed to be “off,” I sat in with Kristen as she ran the ship. It was fun. Like I said in the Facebook and RSS feed, what do two ADD people with a couple of microphones and a bottle of wine talk about? Well, anything they want to, really. Hear that episode here. And, hear the “BWV Daily” here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Oysters on the Half from The Katharine

Salutations™!!

We got back to podcasting The Man Who Ate the Town today. Ray and I talked a bit about restaurants closing for the week of July 4 and Greek-owned restaurants. I gave a review for both The BCPF’s and my dining experience at The Katharine and Sir Winston over the last two weeks. You can listen to that episode here. And, don’t forget the daily dose of music history by listening to the Beeswax Vinyl Daily podcast here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Yesterday, The BCPF and I went and did a couple of errands and then went to Underdog Records. Even after sustaining a swollen appendage because of yellowjackets, Jonathan was all smiles and joking around. We had a good time. We didn’t spend a lot of money, though. Every once in a while I’ll have a shopping day when nothing moves me. I didn’t really find anything I wanted, but The BCPF got these two titles…

Calexico – Hot Rail — From 2000. We have established The BCPF’s fandom of Calexico. Here you go. New.

Buffalo Springfield – Buffalo Springfield Again — Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered, Mono, 180 Gram. Limited edition of 5000 copies, per Rhino website article. #188 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[9] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list (that’s the one that matters). It fell off the list that doesn’t matter. We got it used, even though it was still sealed, so new.

Record Store Day is coming this Saturday. Visit the official RSD website for more info. Watch Underdog Records’ Instagram and Facebook for posts about Jonathan’s latest acquisitions and what you can pick up. You can order new records, day or night, 24/7 by visiting the Underdog Records website. And use Discogs to track your collection. That’s one reason my list was so short today. I found some things and then realized upon looking them up, I already had those.

Until tomorrow, keep spinnin’…

Not a lot of albums released on this day, but the big one would probably be the debut from the Go-Gos, Beauty and the Beat. Listen to more music history (a short one today) here.
