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 […]

Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”
I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so… On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing […]
Music Monday – “I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean/I love the country but I can’t stand the scene/And I’m neither left or right/I’m just staying home tonight/Getting lost in that hopeless little screen”
“Democracy” – Leonard Cohen
Music Monday – Dogs, Dead Icons, & Halloween Classics
Delayed posting Music Monday until Tuesday due to something fairly significant I might write more about later but that has infuriated me. Anyhow, lots of possible themes for a Music Monday post so let’s hit them all… Got A New Dog… Jerry Lee Lewis dies (obligatory “He was problematic to say the least and yes, […]
Music Monday – “You can’t tell me nothing/And I’ve had a lot of drama/’Nuff drama/You can’t tell me nothing/Just look in my eyes, it’s all too clear/But it don’t matter, cause I’m still here”
First heard Dizzee Rascal when I would listen to a Britpop mix on AccuRadio while working at RPL’s Central library many years ago. Hadn’t thought of him/UK Grime music for years but recently rediscovered the album after going through some YouTube rabbit holes on the weekend… “U Can’t Tell Me Nuffin” – Dizzee Rascal
Music Monday – “But I know I’m on a losing streak/As I pass down by your street/And if you wanna show, then just let me know/And I’ll sing in your ear again”
“The Drugs Don’t Work” – The Verve
Music Monday – “Everybody had a hard year/Everybody had a good time/Everybody had a wet dream/Everybody saw the sunshine”
“I’ve Got A Feeling” – Paul McCartney & John Lennon
Music Monday – “God damn my liver when it’s thirsty/God damn my wallet when it’s dry/I’m too sober to sleep/But I’m too drunk to cry”
“Too Sober To Sleep (To Drunk To Cry)” – Justin Rutledge
Music Monday – “The high black water, a devil’s daughter/She’s hard, she’s cold and she’s mean/But nobody taught her, it takes a lot of water/To wash away New Orleans”
“Hurricane” – Band of Heathens
Music Monday – “God save the queen/’Cause tourists are money/And our figurehead/Is not what she seems” (aka Decorum and The Queen’s Death)
There are lots of interesting angles to the Queen’s death – cultural, historical, sociological, religious, etc. etc. – but one that fascinates me is this notion of “decorum”… https://www.twitter.com/MsPackyetti/status/1567987415704379393 There’s a parallel to gun violence in the States where politicians will quickly say “It’s not the time” to talk about gun violence…right after a mass […]
