Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
Salutations™!! So, today is my birthday, as you’d know if you listened to the Useless Things podcast yesterday, or if you know me at all. So for my Sounds Like Saturday today, I’m going to play my favorite song. This is my all-time favorite song, off of my all-time favorite album. But, instead of PG…
Salutations™!! As I’ve said twice this week (three times if you count the Asylum podcast, which I do)… Happy 40th anniversary to my favorite KISS album, Music from The Elder. This was probably the first time I saw them actually performing. It was rough but it was live. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Your…
Salutations™!! As you may or may not know, Dear Reader, I have written this blog “every day” (at least FOR every day) since November 1, 2014. That was right after, well a month and a half after, my honeymoon. I did the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums of All Time list (the 2012 list that…
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of George Michael’s “debut” solo album, Faith. I put that in quotes because to some, the last Wham! album could be considered mostly a George Michael solo album. Whatever… This was the first single from the album and got a lot of flack because it seemed too sexual, but…
Salutations™!! Yesterday was the 47th anniversary of KISS’ second album, Hotter Than Hell. It is #6 on my KISS list. I love the album, regardless of whether it sounds like it was recorded in a tiled bathroom or not. I decided instead of a cover, I’d go to the source, but this was from earlier…
Salutations™!! Today is the 32nd anniversary of the single release “Arms of Orion” from Prince + Sheena Easton. I love the Batman soundtrack and I love this song. It just has a feel that most ballads don’t have and I am truly disappointed it didn’t do better on the charts. This couple do a great…
Salutations™!! Today is the 34th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love album. It’s a pretty good album with some really good songs on it. This has always been a fave and I love when Jerry Chapman does it, but I don’t have him on video doing it, so we go with this guy, he’s…
Salutations™!! Today is the 40th anniversary of The Police’s Ghost in the Machine album. It has a lot of great tunes, especially the singles. I have always loved this song and this is a unique cover. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“There is no political solution to our troubled evolution. Have no faith…
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™!! Today is the 42nd anniversary of Gang of Four’s Entertainment! album. It was ranked at #483 on the RS list that matters and climbed to #273 on the one that doesn’t. It probably deserves the climb, though. Here’s a decent cover from the album. Enjoy! Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Sometimes I’m thinking…
