Music Monday (April Fool’s Day Edition) – Coldplay *Shreds* An Encore

Lots of April Fool’s jokes across the Internet today as usual. One of the funniest is that /r/radiohead has temporarily changed their sub-reddit to be like /r/coldplay, playing up the “rivalry” between fans of these two well-known UK bands with Radiohead seen as groundbreaking and original while Coldplay is seen by many as mainstream, unoriginal (copying […]

Music Monday – “L’Odyssée de la Vie”

No words for me to quote in the title of this week’s post like I usually do.  But the epic choral and instrumental music is a perfect soundtrack for this awesome video as Shea and I are down to around a month or so until our baby comes!

Music Monday – “And who by brave assent/Who by accident/Who in solitude/Who in this mirror”

Cool video by Buck 65 covering Leonard Cohen…

@ryanmeili Music Monday – “We had a lot of fun/We had a lot of money”

As I continue the transition from a blog that was “all politics, all the time” for much of the last six months to one that’s back to being a bit more balanced between the posts about libraries, technology, family and yes, still the occasional political post, I thought I’d start by resurrecting one of my […]

Friday Fun Link – 40 Song Xmas Song Medley

If, like me, you’re not quite ready to let Christmas go for another year, here’s a video medley of a bunch of different Christmas songs (bonus for the number of UK-centric Christmas songs that are a bit less well known on this side of the pond): (via /r/christmasmusic.  You may also want to check out […]

Music Thursday?

So MeiliMondays have replaced Music Monday for the last couple months which is cool and fine but makes me want to just post a really awesome song now and again. This little clip, a song I’m sure I’ve posted before but can’t find because I cleverly post song lyrics instead of song titles for those […]

Music Monday – “He don’t mind the cadavers/He don’t mind human remains/He got no problem sleepin’ at night,/Ain’t nothin’ a little whiskey won’t tame”

The last few Mondays have been “Meili Mondays” but a timely new video release from Corb Lund is a great time to revive “Music Monday” posting for a week…

Music Monday – “What’s gonna happen to you/You have woke up too soon/And found the world rearranged/And now your feelings have changed”

Shea found this one which is timely for Pace’s first day of kindergarten this week (and also for triggering tears in his very mixed emotion parents):

Music Monday – “You Just Put Your Lips Together…and Blow”

I usually put a lyric from the featured song in the title of my Music Monday posts but this one’s a little harder for obvious reasons. So instead, I’ve used a famous movie quote that’s quite fitting (so fitting, it was also referenced in a recent hit song called “Whistle“.) (via Huffington Post)
