While Justin Bieber and especially Cee-Lo Brown were “interpreting” Beatles songs on New Year’s Eve for a TV audience of millions, three music legends – Steve Tyler, Alice Cooper and “Weird” Al Yankovic – teamed at a charity fundraiser in Maui to perform in front of a small crowd (filled entirely of people with camera […]
One last Christmas song (okay, two in one clip – lucky you!) After watching this, you should immediately go buy the Hawksley Workman Christmas album. He just released a re-recorded, more acoustic version of the album but I prefer the original. (Oh, and I should make an admission. Even though I’m an atheist, I do […]
There’s a whole sub-genre of songs that aren’t technically Christmas songs but get identified as such because they mention winter or snow or even Christmas in passing (Joni Mitchell’s “River” being the most famous example.) Below is a recent song that I think is also gaining favour as an non-Christmasy seasonal favourite. This is a […]
“A War Song on Christmas” by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (yes, the actor.)
I’m planning to post a month of Music Monday Xmas tunes, starting with this great atheist-themed Christmas song originally posted by my friend Cenobyte last year on Facebook or her blog (I don’t think I ended up posting it last year but if I did, it’s worth listening to again!)
Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…
Maybe this should be a Music Monday post as it’d probably fit there too. There’s a new Tumblr blog written by a guy who realised his iTunes library had 10 000+ MP3’s almost perfectly equal to a month of music? He decided to put all of his music on shuffle for a straight month with […]
I had this song cranked on the way home from Weyburn yesterday when I suddenly heard a voice from the back seat singing along…”Jaaaa-soooon! Jaaaa-sooonn!” Pace apparently things that Perry Farrell and I are really close friends and he even wrote one of his best known songs about me! 😉
This isn’t a typical Music Monday clip but it’s pretty cool. A Hawaiian slack-key guitar musician named Makana was asked to play at the APEC Summit as background during one of their dinners. But, being sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street cause, he wore an “Occupy with Aloha” shirt during his performance and also chose […]
I wasn’t sure which would be a fitting song to post for Saskatchewan’s election day but I saw the lyric I quoted in the post title posted to Twitter by an NDP staff member this morning…
