Spinning vinyl: 38 Special – Tour De Force

This “being social in the real world” thing really cramps my blogging style!

After my dinner last night with blogger/Clevo/Nashville buddy Kevin Mason, I was re-inspired and researching a future webcam purchase today. During lunch, I went to Best Buy to see a couple of the options in the flesh. I think I found (thanks to Kevin’s help,) the model that I want to get, and I’ll likely purchase it at some point soon.

Tonight after work, I met up with fellow vinyl lover Beth, a Twitter friend o’ mine, to hand off a stack of vinyl, and talk some tunes. After that, it was back to the west side for dinner at Buckeye Beer Engine.

Tomorrow night: New Year’s Eve with my buddy Kevin (we’ll call him the original Kevin) at the Beachland Ballroom for the Jason & The Scorchers reunion show. Can’t wait!

For now, I’m at home listening to a recently acquired copy of the 38 Special album Tour De Force. I’ve always been a fan of 38, and the album opening “If I’d Been The One” was a favorite song of mine as a kid. I remember seeing the video on Friday Night Videos, and it still registers as one of the early videos from back in the day that was cool. I guess if you add flames, it makes anything a lot more interesting!

I’m surprised that the video isn’t on Youtube, but the video for “Back Where You Belong,” also on Tour De Force, is equally entertaining!

  1. Wow… that song brings back some SERIOUS memories. In Columbus, when I was married to my first husband, “Where You Belong” was in heavy rotation on QFM. I can still hear in my head the way Pat and Wags would always call them

    Wags: 38
    Both: SpAYshul!

    I think my favorite bit of the music is the plea (I think) after the bridge – “where you belong…”

    But man, that video was terrible. On just about every level. Acting. Plot. Action. Stunts. The girl was cute, though.

  2. Ann – I’m trying to get a hold of the 38 video from some friends of mine. The girl was cute in THAT video too!

    I love radio memories like the above. Good corny fun.

    Of course the video is terrible…..I don’t think I had ever seen it, so I had to include it here!

    It’s like an elaborate Tom Petty video storyline….only it’s not good like those Tom Petty videos!!

  3. I am very interested in the write's view on the leisure. As people's living conditions are increasingly favorable, diversified recreations are accepted by people. Here are some sits can buy to leisure-related products.
