Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! I’m not going to lie to you, Dear Reader, it was hard to not post-post the entries this week. But, it feels better now, two days later. I’m also going to be honest and tell you that I spent a lot on records yesterday. More than I wanted to, to be honest, but we…
Salutations™!! We had NO agenda yesterday. The BCPF and I got up, showered, spent time with Jonathan at Underdog Records, had a fantastic breakfast at Young Cardinal Cafe, listened to records, dinner at Davie Tavern and started re-watching one of our favorite Brit Coms, ever. It was a glorious Saturday. Here’s the haul: Wilco – A.M. —…

Salutations™!! That title is a little weird, I know. It won’t make much sense now, but it will over time. It is what it is and what it is will be revealed soon. Until then, today is the 37th anniversary of U2’s The Unforgettable Fire album. And because I don’t pass on playing a Mike…
Salutations™!! This is this week’s and last week’s hauls together as this week was slammed with video projects. I’m jumping out at it because I have several to go through… Here’s the hauls: 4/17: Madonna – Ray Of Light — This is #367 on the RS list that matters and #222 on the one that doesn’t. Comes…
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of U2’s biggest-selling (and my personal favorite) album, The Joshua Tree. I didn’t always love this album as I didn’t always love U2. This was the first U2 that I heard, though. “True” U2 fans say if this is your favorite U2 album, then you’re not a real U2…
Salutations™!! Friday was Record Store Day Black Friday and again, I was mostly ticked that it happened. It’s a money grab and sure I could have skipped it, but that’s not the spirit of the event nor the point. It happened and although I didn’t camp out and wait, I got some good stuff. There…
Salutations™!! Today is the 29th anniversary of U2’s second best album, Achtung Baby. It had a lot of great things on it but this tune continues to be one of my favorite U2 songs, ever. This is a good cover, too. Also, this is my last post (ish) of my 40s. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same…
Salutations™!! Yesterday, The BCPF and I went to Underdog Records, first, then we made a stop at City Beverage who was having a tent sale for wine and such. We got to hang out with our friends the Dyers and then had lunch. We stopped at Publix and got some wine for her along with…
Salutations™!! Today is the 36th anniversary of U2’s The Unforgettable Fire. I was going to do the Mike Massé cover but I came across this and it’s like watching the Heavens Gate cult do a song a Capella. Perhaps some New Age cultist delivering a sermon. I don’t know it’s just kind of weird. Cool…
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…
