Music Monday – “Adieu Clo-Clo/Goodbye to you my brother/Adieu Clo-Clo/Goodbye to you my brother until the end.”

This song is one of the many things that have been running through my head all day… “Adieu Clo Clo” – Boo Radleys

Music Monday – “Book flight December but I leave in May/Drugs are generic but still work the same/I get logins for Netflix from my cousin Greg/Thanks Greg!”

You know that experience when you learn a new word or buy a new vehicle or whatever and after never noticing it before, you suddenly see it everywhere? I had a recent experience except it was with a YouTube rap star.  A friend of mine in the States who’s a teacher posted a pic with […]

A Look at the Log Files…

I haven’t done a navel-gazing post for awhile so I thought it’d be interesting to list which of my blog posts have had the most views during this year along with the date that they were originally published… How To Make A Rye & Coke Press (Dec 2006) Myers-Briggs Results as Cultural Touchstones (Oct 2013) Ranking […]

Music Monday – “Leaving my pennies on the track/Can’t say if I’m ever coming back”

A British guy I know (in the Facebook sense of “We’ve never met but yeah, we know each other because of our common interest in Fred Eaglesmith) who works as a tour manager for various bands posted this recently. Beautiful… “Applewood Road” – Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace

Music Monday – New #NDP Ad: “Would you stand up and walk out on me?” #cndpoli #canpoli #skpoli

The NDP has released an effective new ad that highlights some of Stephen Harper’s “friends” – various criminals, fraudsters and cheaters… That’s pretty bad but this ad only highlights the senators (Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin) and other insiders (Nigel Wright) at the top of the Conservative party. There have also been some recent revelations that show […]

Music Monday – “Who muzzles the poor scientist?/Calls troubled people “terrorists”?/Who wants the courts to just say yes?/Suppresses freedom of the press?”

The “Harperman” protest song is interesting for a number of reasons: the person who wrote and sang it is a federal civil servant and is now suspended from his job for an investigation about whether he violated the Federal Government’s employee ethics agreement At issue is whether Turner violated the code of ethics that all public servants […]

Music Monday – “I know this isn’t what you planned for me/Mothers have hopes for their sons/Along with the shame/I have brought to the family/All I feel is the weight of the gun”

“Weight of a Gun” – Corb Lund Band

Music Monday – Oasis Full Concert

So cool how you can find full concerts on YouTube.  Oasis will always remind me of my semester abroad in 1995 although this one’s actually from 2005…

Music Monday – “And it don’t matter if you don’t believe/Come Sunday morning/You best be there in the front row/Like you’re supposed to”

My most played song during our recent camping trip… “Merry Go Round” – Kacey Musgraves

Music Monday (on a Wednesday) – “Older” – They Might Be Giants

We got home Monday which would’ve made it perfect to post this as my weekly Music Monday video. But instead, I somehow thought it was Tuesday so I didn’t bother even bother.  I’m posting it now with belated thanks to the person who posted it on my Facebook wall…
