Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the “Dining Area” phase of Beeman Remodel 2019 in advance of Operation: Beeman Hosts 2020. More on that in another blog down the line. But, that meant that we had to get into Underdog Records and get out so we could start working on stuff. So with that said, here’s the haul:…
Salutations™!! We did get to go to Underdog Records yesterday but we didn’t get to listen to any of the loot. We were shopping for fixtures for the upgrades to the house and going to a housewarming party for a friend. We had a great day but it involved little music. Here’s the haul: First,…
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of The Police’s debut album Outlandos d’Amour. Not my favorite of all their albums but it is tied for second with all the other Police albums that aren’t Synchronicity. You probably would have expected “Roxanne” as my song for this, but, nope. I found this heavier ska/punk band to do a…
Salutations™!! Today is the 39th anniversary of The Police’s Zenyatta Mondatta album. The title of this album doesn’t really mean anything. Just something that rolls of the tongue. And, yes, this is 364 days before the album I featured yesterday, Ghost in the Machine. I like the original better but I also think the re-recording of…

Salutations™!! Today is the 38th anniversary of The Police’s Ghost in the Machine album. I love The Police and I love this album. I found some interesting covers but none that I liked so I went with the original. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel… Scorp out! — “Our so-called leaders speak. With words they try…

Salutations™!! Yesterday was the start of the $1 sale at Underdog Records. Jonathan and De put out around 3,000 records Friday night after work. Jonathan estimates around 1600 of those went out yesterday during the sale. Some people walked out with over 200 records yesterday. The place was a madhouse and I loved seeing it like…
Salutations™!! This weekend, as I said was a little bit weird, timing-wise and we didn’t get to do our normal listening. That also threw our posting off a little on Beeswax Vinyl and in the Underdog Records “Now Spinning” page. So, I’ll leave a little posting about them here. Hah’bah’dah? This is from Saturday, Sunday…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was a scheduling-weird day for The BCPF and me. We had a house-warming to attend in Charlotte so we had to put our regular activities on hold. We got back into town around 3pm so then we got to go to Underdog Records and got to listen to a few before we went…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I slept late because we were out late, even though I didn’t get to play on Friday night. But, we did eventually get by to Underdog Records and had a little bit of listening time before our Saturday evening plans. Here’s the haul: Belle And Sebastian – Days Of The Bagnold Summer — When…
Salutations™!! Well, today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing and there were several ways I could have gone. I could have played the “Billie Jean” performance by Michael Jackson at Motown’s 25th Anni or I could have gone the Police route, which I did but, of course, it is a very clever cover….
