Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I hope you all recovered from the holiday nicely. The BCPF and I went back to Underdog Records after a week off. We got good stuff. We enjoyed our day. ‘Nuff said! Here’s the haul: Kiss – Off The Soundboard Tokyo 2001 — Supposedly, this is truly “off the soundboard” but there are parts that make…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I had a full plate of activities to do yesterday. We went to a farmers market. We ate lunch. We went to Underdog Records. We went to The Butcher’s Block, a new butcher shop in downtown. We listened, we stayed in for dinner. I cooked a fantastic “charcuterie” board of wild…
Salutations™!! Today is the 41st anniversary of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ Damn the Torpedoes album. The album is amazing from start to finish. But, here we see “Weird Al” Yankovic do something, well… weird. He’s doing a “straight cover.” He always does parodies or polkas but rarely (if ever?) does he do a “straight…
Salutations™!! The BCPF and I shook things up yesterday. We started with brunch at Mozelle’s and then after Underdog Records, we went to wineries with our friends PJ3 and his wife, Susan. We then met up with the couple at Mojito Latin Soul Food. Here’s the Underdog Records haul: Mar1lyn Man5on – Mechanical Animals — This is…
Salutations™!! I feel we’re getting closer to being able to rummage through some used vinyl in the next month or so, but until then Jonathan is still delivering vinyl from Underdog Records all during the week. I think sales have been okay for him but I’m sure he could use some more. Head over to the…
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,…
Salutations™!! There were some albums that had anniversaries today but nothing I cared about so I’m borrowing one from tomorrow. Tomorrow is the 42nd anniversary of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ You’re Gonna Get It! album. I believe I’ve done this song with Clay in the past. Anywhat! This is a great tune and it’s not…
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™!! The BCPF and I have been quarantined and like I said last week, we actually don’t have time during the week to listen to records, even though we have been surrounded by them all day every day for the past three weeks. But, when The BCPF is doing her thing and I am doing…
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…
