Music Monday – “It’s a working man I am/And I’ve been down under ground/And I swear to God if l ever see the sun Or for any length of time I can hold it in my mind/I never again will go down under ground”

Decided to go to Regina’s “Day of Mourning” event at City Hall this year. Twenty-seven people died workplace-related deaths last year and this was the first year I knew one of them which makes the whole thing a lot more real. This was a song they played at the end of the ceremony. “Working Man” […]

A colleague sent me this song I’d never heard before and, true story, it hit me just right so I ended up tearing up in my cubicle.  (That may have been the intention?) “Bill Is Dead” – The Fall

Music Monday – “I miss the world before it was polluted/With space cowboy billionaires, when irony was still ironic/I miss America right after 9/11/When everyone was bonded, even if it only lasted seconds”

Took Sasha and a friend to an inclusivity celebration triple-bill of Mother Mother, Cavetown and Winnetka Bowling League at the Brandt Centre on Monday night. I knew the first two bands a little bit (mostly through Sasha) but didn’t really know the opener. All were great in their own way but Winnetka Bowling League (terrible […]
