It’s a long way from the stage of the “Cancer Jamboree” at Nickle Lake outside Weyburn (where we’ve camped for years and now have our own seasonal campsite) to the American Country Music Top 20 airplay charts… “Somebody Like That” – Tenille Arts

Music Monday – “I’m gonna tell you fascists/Sure might may be surprised/There’s people in this world/And we’re getting organized”
Happy Inauguration Week! “All You Fascists (Bound To Lose)” – Billy Bragg
Music Monday – “Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous/Wicked and able, media-ready/Heartless, and labeled/Super US citizen, super achiever/Mega ultra power dosing, relax/Defense, defense, defense, defense”
Originally about the Reagan years but the sentiment applies to most right-wing governments including Trump’s… “Ignoreland” – R.E.M. (Side note: “Ignoreland” is my least favourite song on probably my most favourite album of all-time. Wish it had been on “Monster” instead.)
Music Monday – “Spent last year like you’re under a curse/Better get better cuz it can’t get worse/Unless you’re riding in the back of a hearse”
“Everything’s Gonna Be Better Next Year” – The Rescues
Music Monday – “It’s been a hell of a year/How did you see/Who I was and who I was gonna be/I could’ve been right was probably wrong/So many nights wishing I could go home”
This is a song about the end of a relationship but man, that title is perfect for the final “Music Monday” of 2021… “Hell of a Year” – Parker McCollum
Music Monday – “Oh I’m/Staying home this Christmas/For friends and for strangers/And for family”
“Staying Home This Christmas” – Dillon Currie
Music Monday – “But that world is gone/It’s all disappeared/It’s just me and the ponies/For Christmas this year”
With the announcement of stronger Covid restrictions for Saskatchewan, just in time for Christmas, this song has been going through my head non-stop… “Just Me and These Ponies (For Christmas This Year)” – Corb Lund
Music Monday – “Mistletoe’s off/Don’t even ask/You won’t be kissing me/Because I’m wearing my mask/But we might as well smile/Because we’ll be here for awhile/On this Covid Christmas”
“Covid Christmas” – Dara Schindelka
Music Monday – “I ain’t taking you home, I found a little place that’ll do/It’ll never match the beauty of a Tennessee spring/But it’s something new”
One of my favourite things about listening to music is hearing a song that catches you just right and you like it so much, you end up playing it repeatedly. That was me with this song this past weekend… “One More Night in Brooklyn” – Justin Townes Earle
Music Monday – “Angel of Death/Monarch to the kingdom of the dead/Infamous butcher/Angel of Death”
Is it too early to start posting Christmas songs? 😉 “Last Christmas/Angel of Death” – Wham!/Slayer Mash-Up
