RPL had a successful strike vote tonight which means this is my theme song for the foreseeable future…
I awoke to this song on community radio this morning. The fact that it infiltrated a dream I was having where a librarian colleague of mine (who is actually married to someone else in real life) was walking down the aisle to this song to meet Jack Layton at the altar (he was still alive […]
Toronto Public Library has gone on strike so I’ll send this song out to my former classmates, colleagues and others who are walking the picket line. Here’s hoping for a fast and fair resolution.
The “walking down the street, dancing” theme is a popular one for music videos, from REM to Hawksley Workman to the classic of the genre from The Verve. Here’s another one from Blur’s guitarist, Graham Coxon…
Well, other than wishing you a Happy Anniversary on Saturday. 😉 But when you have three anniversary dates to keep track of, that’s to be expected. In fact, re-reading that entry about our three anniversaries, it looks like this wasn’t the first time I was early with my anniversary wishes! Anyhow, nine years and counting […]

With this post’s title, you see how hard it is to capture a “lyric” as I usually do with Music Monday posts when the subject of the day is a Bobby McFerrin freeform vocal jazz improvisation in front of 50 000 people. I found this via Reddit’s Frisson sub-Reddit which is dedicated to those moments […]
Other than those opening lines about it being “cold, cold, cold” (today was +5), I think this is my theme song for the next couple weeks.
