Happy Labour Day! “Blue Sky Mine” – Midnight Oil
Not sure if I heard the lyric excerpt I’ve got as a title to this post correctly but I kinda like my version anyhow! 😉 “Clara” – Tariq
Although I was a pretty big fan of the Hip back in their prime years, I sort of backed away – both as their albums became less essential (The top 6 of the 12 Tragically Hip albums rated by CBC were released in the 1980’s or 1990’s, the bottom six were all released after 2000) and […]
The Trans-Canada Highwaymen is another Canadian supergroup made up of members of Sloan, Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, and Pursuit of Happiness with a conceit that they’ll play hits from their own bands but only songs that each member wrote for their other groups (which is why it’s ironic that they stick a bit of “Poets” […]
