Rants and Ravings of a Misguided Dreamer and Observer
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…
Salutations™!! No, Dear Reader, you’re not reading that incorrectly, the date is for last Saturday. The BCPF and I didn’t go to Underdog Records yesterday as we had some errands to run that kept us from our favorite candy store. But, because last Sunday was Father’s Day and Monday was my ‘Rents’ anniversary and Tuesday…
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 50th anniversary of Yes’ third album, The Yes Album. Prog rock at its finest. If you like long-arsed songs, you will like this. This is a composite video and they do a great job of it. Enjoy! I got 3301 steps today. Until tomorrow, same blog channel…Scorp out! —“Take a straight…
Salutations™!! I wish that the title of this post meant that I was actually changing something. And, I guess that the point to change anything would be up to me. Perhaps I want change but not know what changes I want. Hmmm… Anywhat! Today is the 37th anniversary of Yes’ 90125 album. The big hit,…
Salutations™!! Today is the anniversary of several albums. Drama from Yes turns 40 today. Dark Continent from Wall of Voodoo turns 39. Slippery When Wet from Bon Jovi is 34. Kicking Against The Pricks from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds does, too. Out Of The Blue from Debbie Gibson and Permanent Vacation from Aerosmith are both 33. Patty…
Salutations™!! Yep, missed the boat on this yesterday so, I’m getting it for you today. Per usual, this week’s streaming listens comes from Discogs’ shuffle feature and it has to be an album that I own on vinyl (outside of peripheral things like Beeswax Vinyl & More listens), that way it’s like listening to my…
Salutations™!! Dear sweet baby [enter deity here], please let this be over soon. If for no other reason, I want to get back to Underdog Records, see Jonathan and buy vinyl goodness. Amen. You know my religion is “non-Prophet” so that was really just symbolic. However, the sentiment is exact and true. I want to…
Salutations™!! I’m going to be honest with you here, Dear Reader. That’s what I always try to do. Full transparency, I’m writing this post for Thursday on Sunday after. The week got away from me. The good news was it was stuff that was important or events that were paying gigs, or whatever. Can’t be…

Salutations™!! Well, the Carolina Cobras lost the championship game with only 11 seconds left on the clock. Phooey on that. But, other than that, and a screwy day chasing dreams, we did get some great records and some great listening in. Underdog Records was jumping and I love to see that. Here’s the haul: Sleater-Kinney – The…
