This is a very fitting song for the United Kingdom in a week that saw the population unexpectedly vote to leave the European Union via a very narrow margin in the “Brexit” referendum and then another upset as England is knocked out of the Euro Football Championships by Iceland of all places (cue jokes about England not being […]

Music Monday – “When I’m drunk/I dance like me dad/Started to dress a bit like him/Early morning when I wake up/I look like KISS but without the make-up”
Love the lyrics in this song (which are especially fun around Father’s Day!) For those who don’t know, Robbie Williams started in a boy band in the UK in the 1990’s, went solo and became even bigger pretty much everywhere on earth except North America. I also didn’t realise until I read the Wikipedia entry […]
Music Monday – “Just wait ’til I finish this glass/Then sweet little lady/I’ll head back to the bar/And you can kiss my ass!”
He’s got a lot of hits and he played many of them this past weekend in Saskatoon. But what other song could I post today than the Garth Brooks song that made me a huge fan for life? “Friends in Low Places” – Garth Brooks
Music Monday – “Silent now but you used to laugh before”
In 1990, just before they got massive, The Tragically Hip played a small club in Regina called “The Venue”. Someone put a video camera on one of the balconies in the club and has now posted some of this historically valuable footage. Here’s a clip of an unreleased early song called “Night Comes Down” (or “Night […]
Music Monday – “Balloons all filled with rain/As children’s eyes turn sleepy mean/And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain/For a boy in Fiddler’s Green”
Following up on yesterday’s post about death and dying in Tragically Hip songs, here is perhaps the saddest song in the Tragically Hip’s catalogue… “Fiddler’s Green” – The Tragically Hip
Music Monday – “We’ve got real def rhythms and fresh new jams/And ya think we got egos but we’re just hams/Scott plays stickball and likes to skate/Frank is never on time he’s always…Sleeping! ‘Late!'”
I loved this song when I was in college… “I’m The Man” – Anthrax
Music Monday – “Our house had the biggest patio/Our house had all the summer shade/We had patio lanterns “
Really enjoying our back yard patio as Shea and I continue to make more and more improvements – the most recent is the addition of some lattice and and a new gate… Now we only need a theme song for our new favourite place! 😉 “Patio Lanterns” – Kim Mitchell
Music Monday – “Time came a-creeping, oh, and time’s a loaded gun/Every road is a ray of light/It goes on, time only can lead you on/Still, it’s such a beautiful night”
A young guy took photos of himself every day for five straight years to create this montage of a Coldplay song. Spoiler alert but since the thumbnail he picked gives it away anyhow, it appears that he came up with a pretty cool way to commemorate his undergrad years… “Life in Technicolour” – Coldplay
Music Monday – “I only wanted to see you/Bathing in the purple rain”
I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]
Music Monday – “The riots started slowly/With the homeless and the lowly/It spread into the heartland/Towns that never got a wristband.”
Paul Simon has a new album coming out and it sounds like it could be a good one… “Wristband” – Paul Simon
