Music Monday – “Ma ma sa, ma ma coo sa/Ma ma se, ma ma sa/Ma ma coo sa”

Back from a week in Mexico and will likely do some resort-themed posts over the next few days starting with this one… And my big thought of the day is – I really have no idea why most Cancun resorts have a Michael Jackson impersonator as one of their nightly shows when you never see […]

Music Monday – “I can almost smell the perfumed nights/And see the starry sky/I wish you comin’ with me baby/’Cause right before my eye”

Isn’t the Internet amazing? I heard this song on my random “Flow” playlist the other day.  It’s a song from 1977 by an obscure New Zealand band that I’d never heard before but it felt fitting even though we’re going to Mexico instead of Cuba, leaving in February instead of April, but hoping for sun […]

Music Monday – “It’s over/You don’t need to tell me/I hope you’re with someone who makes you feel/Safe in your sleep, being tonight/I won’t kill myself trying to stay in your life/I’ve got no distance left to run.”

Music Monday – “I was takin’ everything they had to give/It wasn’t all that bad a way to live/Well I’m in this desert town and it’s hot as hell/But no one’s buyin’ what I got to sell”

Music Monday – “Good job getting the bags ready/Take your time/Take your time”

A big cold snap in Saskatchewan has got me thinking about Mexico and all our previous trips… Here’s a montage someone made of Cancun and Isla Mujeres… “Shlow Motion” – Oomiee

Music Monday – “My family left Honduras when they killed the Sandinistas/We followed a coyote through the dust of Mexico/Every one of them except for me survived/And I am still alive”

There are very few songs that can make the hair on my arms stand on end. This song, a reworking of an older song I loved growing up. But instead of focusing on men dying doing manly things as in the original, the update is about women dying in service of larger social issues. Incredibly […]

Friday Fun Link – KISS Does The Beatles

Found this flitting around YouTube – is there any band that doesn’t love The Beatles?  (Okay, Michael Stipe famously dissed The Beatles as “elevator music” but I think he later admitted he only meant they weren’t the music he listened to but often heard in the background.)
