Huey Lewis & The News, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Video

Salutations™!!

Today is the 40th anniversary of Huey Lewis and the News’ Picture This album. It was their breakout album, with three hits. This is probably the least well-known of the three but it’s a good one, nonetheless. Enjoy!

And, I apologize for not doing a Useless Things Podcast this week.

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

“What does a girl like you, see in a man like me? Just cause I love you, baby, don’t think I’ll be just what you want me to be. Ooh, yes I’m stubborn, I’m hard-headed, but baby I love you. And I hope you love me like you say I do.” – “I Hope You Love Me Like You Say You Do” (Duke)

Louie Anderson, Meat Loaf, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Useless Things Podcast, Video

Salutations™!!

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…

Music, The BCPF, The Sundays, Video

Salutations™!!

Today is the 32nd anniversary of the release of the Sunday’s Reading, Writing and Arithmetic album. It’s one of The BCPF’s favorite bands and she loves this album and this song. This young lady does a fantastic version. Enjoy!

David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Video

Salutations™!!

Today would have been Elvis’ 87th and David Bowie’s 75th birthdays. It IS my dad’s 74th birthday. I never really connected to Elvis’s music. It was slightly before my time. I do, however, LOVE me some Bowie although it took me a while to realize that. There are some slow spots in my Bowie relationship. But, for the most part, it’s all great stuff. Here’s a great cover of a great Bowie song. Happy birthday, Pops!!

Salutations™!!

I hope everyone was safe last night. It’s finally 2022 and we can hope that this year is an amazing one for everyone. Here’s a great song from the Zombies’ Odessey and Oracle album. Let’s hope this is the truth.

Christmas, George Michael, Mariah Carey, Music, The Less Desirables Network, Useless Things Podcast, Video, WSNC, Xmas

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!

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need. I don’t care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know. Make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas is you.” – “All I Want for Christmas” (Carey/Afanasieff)

David Bowie, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Video

Salutations™!!

I apologize Dear Reader (and Dear Listener) for not having a podcast the last two weeks. I have been so busy doing the Beeswax Vinyl Daily podcast to prepare for this week that I haven’t really experienced anything, watched anything new, heard anything, done anything. Why this week? Well, with the exception of Monday, when I do TMWATT and a couple of client things, I’m on a mental health break all week and possibly the following week with the exception of a day, probably. Anyway, today is the 50th anniversary of David Bowie’s fourth album, Hunky Dory, which was the first with Mick Ronson in Bowie’s band and had Rick Wakeman playing keyboards. The big tune was Changes! but this is one of my faves and I went straight to the source for it! Enjoy!

It’s a god-awful small affair
To the girl with the mousy hair
But her mummy is yelling, “No!”
And her daddy has told her to go
But her friend is nowhere to be seen
Now she walks through her sunken dream
To the seat with the clearest view
And she’s hooked to the silver screen

Blood Sweat and Tears, Music, Video

Salutations™!!

You may (or probably didn’t) notice that I didn’t do a post last Sunday. I also didn’t do a Useless Podcast this week. I didn’t have anything to say this week. Other than it was a poop week. Last week, we didn’t go to Underdog Records, so I didn’t make a post on Sunday. There you have it. I told you it will be at my whim, now. Sorry if I left you hanging. Today is the 53rd anniversary of the self-titled second album from Blood, Sweat & Tears. It had a couple of hits. This is one of them. Enjoy!

Until tomorrow, same blog channel…

Foreigner, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Video

Salutations™!!

Today is the 34th anniversary of Foreigner’s Inside Information album. This was the last to feature Lou Gramm as he went on to do a solo thing. This was the first hit from it and this dude does a good job. Enjoy!

Chris Squire, Music, Sounds Like Saturday, Video, Yes

Salutations™!!

Today is the 50th anniversary of Fragile, Yes’ fourth album. Some of the most bad-arsed songs in the whole Yes catalog are on this album. This includes my favorite Yes tune, “Roundabout.” That bass line is amazing, but Chris Squire was NOT a clean player, and that’s okay. He had a distorted tone and was kind of free in his playing. Not sloppy, really, but “free.” If you’re not familiar with the album, I really, highly, recommend that you give it a listen but especially give the first tune, “Roundabout” a listen. What I’m posting here is the isolated bass part from Chris Squire. There will be long periods of silence, so don’t think the video has stopped or something’s wrong. That’s the way the song is. Those silent spaces are filled with atmospheric goodness on the record. So, enjoy!

“In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky and they stand there. One mile over we’ll be there and we’ll see you. Ten true summers we’ll be there and laughing too. Twenty-four before my love you’ll see, I’ll be there with you.” – “Roundabout” (Howe/Anderson)
