Music Monday – “She misses Ragweed like I do/And her mom already thinks I’m trash/Along with her second stepdad too/She’s kind of weird and a full-time goon/Yeah, but she misses Ragweed like I do”

Can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – so good! “Ragweed” – Koe Wetzel

Music Monday – “I will swing my axe, don’t let the flames go down/Carve up some of that kindlin’/There’s plenty of wood around”

Back from a couple weeks’ camping and this song is running on repeat in my head, partly because my soft librarian hands suffered a few blisters from swinging an axe on occasion… “Axe” – The Steel Woods

Music Monday – “But I want old men making my whiskey/I want old men singing my blues/I want old men teaching my horses/’Cuz there’s just some things, young men can’t do/Like the old boys do”

The new Corb Lund album is an instant favourite, not least because, as I turn 47 later this week, this song dedicated to the value of the more seasoned among us resonates pretty heavily! 😉 “Old Men” – Corb Lund

Music Monday – “Time stand still/I’m not looking back/But I want to look around me now”

I’ve been into my branch a handful of times since it shut down three months ago. But as RPL has begun slowly reopening over the past couple weeks, today was my first day back in branch doing more traditional library work. This is because we’ve started having mid-sized and smaller branches in the RPL system […]

Music Monday – “They have the authority to kill a minority/Fuck that shit, ’cause I ain’t the one/For a punk motherfucker with a badge and a gun” (And Some Random Thoughts on The US Situation)

“Fuck The Police” – NWA Here’s a few other random thoughts about what’s happening in the US the past few days after the murder of unarmed black man, George Floyd, by a group of Minneapolis Police Officers. * I honestly thought that the US was on the verge of something ugly (uglier?) because of COVID-19 […]

Music Monday – “I stand before this faceless crowd/And I wonder why I bother/So much controlled by so few/Stumbling from one disaster to another”

A day or a week or a month ago, there was a COVID benefit concert featuring Canadian artists. It was a great show except I took exception to the use of “Lean On Me” as the final group song. Great song, classic for a reason – sure. But it just felt misplaced to have a […]
