Yesterday we lost two great entertainers. One was a vocal beast and the other was a funny but gentle giant. Louie Anderson was hilarious and just self-deprecating enough to make himself more loveable. You wanted to love Louie. His delivery was amazing. Rest in peace, Louie.

Meat Loaf was operatic, powerful, a larger-than-life presence that turned Jim Steinman’s tongue-in-cheek songs and witty and clever lyrics into monster tunes that you couldn’t help sing along with, even if you couldn’t hit all the notes. He died on Thursday but we didn’t know until late that night, early yesterday. Rest in peace, Marvin Lee Aday!

I talked about both on my Useless Things Podcast yesterday, which you can hear here.

This gentleman does a great rendition of one of my favorite Meat Loaf songs. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Salutations!™!!

On this week’s Useless Things podcast, I talked about Christmas songs and how Xmas is a proper substitute for Christmas and in some ways even more appropriate. But, I especially talked about this song and the Mariah Carey song. Hear more by listening to that episode, but here is one of my favorite groups doing one of my favorite Xmas songs. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, Merry Christ/Xmas!

Salutations™!!

I have been so far off in la-la land this week (because I’m on “vacation”) that after I recorded a new podcast on Monday, I forgot to post about it here, where more people can see and hear it. Tsk tsk…

So this episode is all about Christmas stuff… music, movies, food, “Xmas,” etc. And, I hear from Superfan Damien (from The Less Desirables), which is awesome, for the first response to a discussion starter. Thanks, buddy!

You can listen to the latest ep by visiting the Useless Things Podcast website, search your favorite podcatcher platform, Apple, Stitcher, Spotify, etc., or the TLD Network website. I’d appreciate it if you’d subscribe and hit the notification to let you know there are new episodes available. Also, if you’re so inclined, a rating, review, like would all help me tremendously. Not just for Useless Things but all the podcasts on the network.

I hope that you all have a most fantastic Christmas holiday, and happy Christmas Eve!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

So, I have actually been on vacation since Monday. I worked until 9p on Monday to not have to go back to the studio until this coming Monday. That included not doing the podcast for Useless Things. I will be back next week because I have a lot to talk about. We had some big things happen this past week. I’ll fill you in. Thanks for your understanding!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Time for a new podcast, y’all! Yeah, two in one week. I had stuff to say, I guess. I don’t know if I’ll have stuff to say next week or not. But, it’s the 40th anniversary this week of my favorite KISS album. Hear me talk about it here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Salutations™!!

I was going to post this yesterday but I fought myself. Incidentally, it also feels weird not backing up and making posts for the last four days as well. Yesterday, I started a new thing. A new podcast. A companion piece to this blog. It’s called Useless Things Need Love Too. How original, right? Well, it’s my IP and I am sticking with it. I could go into a lot of detail about what this podcast is going to be about, but if I did that, then what would be the point of listening? I lay out the whole deal on this podcast. And, it’s only about 17 minutes, so just about 10 minutes longer than a Beeswax Vinyl Daily episode. Expect a new one every week. I think Friday will be the day I release them. It may not be every Friday. That is especially true with all the holidays and my birthday coming up. Anyway, you can listen to the inaugural episode here.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
