Music Monday – “You can set my house on fire, baby/You can turn it into cinder and smoke/’Cause this house is mighty cold and I feel like/Melting all the snow away”

The first single from Tyler Childer’s upcoming album was my most played track of the long weekend… “House Fire” – Tyler Childers

Music Monday – “I want you, I need you/But there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you/Now don’t be sad/’Cause two out of three ain’t bad”

If I post a single song from Meatloaf’s “Bat Out of Hell” album, I feel like I should post every song from the album since they’re all so interconnected. But instead, I’ll just post a few of the album’s biggest tracks instead of a single song I usually do for “Music Monday”. (And as a […]

Music Monday – “I have lost my way/But I hear tell/About a heaven in Alberta/Where they’ve got all hell for a basement”

These aren’t my photos but I thought this montage of Alberta shots – in all its natural beauty and manmade ugliness – was appropriate with the big election coming up tomorrow. “All Hell For A Basement” – Big Sugar

Music Monday – “The world’s in trouble/There’s no communication/And everyone can say what they want to say/It never gets better anyway”

Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

Music Monday – “My heart’s like an open book/For the whole world to read/Sometimes nothing keeps me together/At the seams”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

Music Monday – “So needless to say/I’m odds and ends/I’ll be stumbling away/Slowly learning that life is OK/Say after me/It’s no better to be safe than sorry

I don’t normally add a lot of my own thoughts to Music Monday posts but wow, hearing this song that I loved as a kid (yes, the innovative video was a big part of that!) slowed down and done acoustically really makes it heartbreaking and adds a feeling of nostalgia (in multiple ways) that the […]
