More background about what’s become my album of the summer…
Nothing against Florida-Georgia Line but it’s right there in the name – no connection to Canada, let alone Saskatchewan. In fact, two of the three performers in the halftime show were American and the third was from Ontario. Why you wouldn’t feature Saskatchewan artists on a giant stage like this boggles my mind. Using a […]
“Support Local” takes many forms. With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!) “Pity Party – Blake Berglund
Always one of my favourite posts of the year as it does such a good job of randomly capturing the flow of the year, highlights and lowlights. 😉 January – “It was a great way to kick off the New Year last night with Shea and I seeing a show at Casino Regina featuring Blake […]
Here are my default listening choices when camping… “Coyote” – Blake Berglund – our default summer album continues to be a fave this summer “Six Volts” – Fred Eaglesmith– my (current) favourite Fred Eaglesmith album “Traveller” – Chris Stapleton – last.fm says I listened to “From A Room Vol. 2” more but “Traveller” would’ve been my […]
It was a great way to kick off the New Year last night with Shea and I seeing a show at Casino Regina featuring Blake Berglund & Belle Plaine opening for The Dead South. All are great Saskatchewan artists but The Dead South are really hitting the big time – they’ve toured in Europe, won […]
1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Testified at a Labour Relations Board hearing. It’s a long story but for the past few years, the library I work at has been moving towards getting in-scope Branch Heads turned into out-of-scope Branch Managers. Again, long story with many twists and turns […]
Another thing that made our summer so amazing was the non-stop music… …that we played from morning to night (okay, Shea’s not as big of a music fan as I am and occasionally asked for some peace and quiet to read her book!) Above is a graph of how many individual songs I played each […]
I’m a garage sale addict at the best of times – who can resist finding something that someone else paid $20 or $100 for and being able to buy it for pennies on the dollar? Plus part of the addiction is how random it is – like the slot machine in a casino, you never […]
Blake Berglund is my unofficial campground theme music this summer. This past weekend, his “Coyote” album was the first one I played when we arrived and the last one I played when we left! And here’s the lead-off song from that album which is such a great way to draw you into the album… “Come […]
