Music Monday – “Everywhere I go/People know this place/The pride that we all show/Is visible from space” #riders #clf #greycup

Well, that didn’t take long… Somebody already has a photo slideshow up on YouTube in tribute to the Riders winning the Western Final yesterday against the Stamps, set to the song “Paint The Whole World Green” by Jason Plumb and the Willing. Leading up to the Grey Cup game next Sunday, this town is going to […]

Music Monday – “You that never done nothin’/But build to destroy/You play with my world/Like it’s your little toy”

Red poppy or white poppy, hero or victim, holiday or not, the only thing that’s clear is that Remembrance Day means different things to different people and, as with my defence of Justin Trudeau, I feel like shouting “Nobody has the right to say how others should or shouldn’t interpret/celebrate/commemorate Remembrance Day!” Well, except me. […]

Music Monday – “The memories we are amassing/Will stand as testament that somehow/We bent minds around the concept/That we see others within ourselves/That self-knowledge can be found on bookshelves”

This is really good… “Remember How We Forgot” – Shane Koyczan and Hannah Epperson

Music Monday – “And I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this is now and then is then!”

Here are a few pics I threw together in a slideshow to celebrate the first snow of the year. “Celebrate” might sound like the wrong word but for me, the first snow of the year is always exciting and, as the song says, “I know that by February/My thoughts on snow will be contrary/But this […]

Music Monday – “Joan went east/Then she went west/I stayed right here in the middle/That’s where I liked it the best”

This song will always remind me of high school but even after listening to this song hundreds of times in my life, it took this slowed down acoustic version to make me realise I’ve misheard the lyric I quoted in the title of this post as “Joe went east/she went west” as if the narrator […]

Music Monday – Andino Suns – “Cantando el Pajaro”

One of the many highlights of the 2012 version of the Ryan Meili NDP Leadership campaign was an amazingly fun event that featured a great local Moose Jaw band by way of South America, Andino Suns. If I was a bit more linguistically adept, I’d try to catch a few lyrics from this song to […]

Music Monday – “Stay with me through September/The nights are getting cold/Old Man Winter gonna be here soon/And the cattle still ain’t sold”

Music Monday – “You could have your choice of men/But I could never love again/I’m begging you/Please don’t take my man”

It’s very possible that slowing down “Jolene”, the classic country song by Dolly Parton, makes it an even better song (not to mention how her suddenly masculine voice brings in all kinds of gender play beyond what was in the original version.) “Jolene” – Dolly Parton

Music Monday – “I was tired of being put right down/By myself for not being what you thought/You had found pulled hard in two directions”

Happy Labour Day! This year’s Labour Day is especially relevant as our current provincial government has proposed sweeping new legislation to “modernize” Saskatchewan’s labour laws by combining twelve existing pieces of Legislation into a single omnibus bill, a move which will “likely have many unintended consequences and costs.  Unions aren’t taking these changes laying down […]
