Music Monday – “Come on hold my hand/I want to contact the living/Not sure I understand/This role I’ve been given”

Shea almost canceled our wedding when this song was playing non-stop on Mexican MTV in the lead-up to our big day. I’m not sure who was able to finally convince her that Robbie Williams might just be unobtainable and she’d have to settle for me but I’m glad they did! 😉 (Oh, who am I […]

Music Monday – “The splash of October swimmers/The cheers of Helsinki winners/My bare bones of futility/Leaking marrow of ability”

The leaves on the trees are turning, we’ve been out “leaf crunching” as Pace calls it and I agree with Shea that “if it wasn’t followed by winter, fall might just be my favourite season”.  I don’t know if this Britpop one hit wonder has anything to do with the autumn but it’s called “October […]

Music Monday – “Driving all night/In the mood for something/Got a hankerin’ for some hot man lovin’/Keep it clean.”

The Westboro Baptist Church are a truly odious group of folks (widely referred to as a hate group) who travel around “protesting” various events that they somehow think are connected to homosexuality.  But when they chose to protest a recent Foo Fighters concert, the band had a response planned.  (Of course this raises questions about […]

Music Monday – “How can you just walk away from me/When all I can do is watch you leave?”

Spooky.  Spooky good, that is!

Music Monday – “Rebuild… Rebuild… Rebuild… Rebuild… Rebuild…”

I understand why Steven Page chose to perform a cover of “Hallelujah” at the Jack Layton funeral on Saturday (apparently it was the last song Jack listened to as he slipped away.) But it got me wondering if there was a song in the BNL catalogue which would’ve also worked?   Thematically (at least in […]

Music Monday – “The morning breaks like porcelain/Across an eastern sky/I stare across an open field/I sit and wonder why/Why the world’s so beautiful/And why it’s so sad.”

The news of Jack Layton’s passing today, although not unexpected, is still sad and tragic for so many reasons.  There is much grieving today from party supporters and much respect from people from across the political spectrum for a man who was truly special within the political realm. I tried to think of an appropriate […]

Music Monday – “Spring is almost over/And the summer’s come/The day’s are getting long”

I had such an amazing time camping this long weekend at Nickle Lake with Shea’s folks at their seasonal site, I thought I’d do a bulleted list of some of the highlights.  (To set the scene, Shea’s parents have possibly the the nicest site in the entire campground.  They’ve had it for nearly a decade […]

Music Monday – “We only said goodbye with words/I died a hundred times/You go back to her/And I go back to black.”

Now she’s gone and joined that stupid club. (via MetaFilter)

Music Monday – “Please could you stop the noise, I’m trying to get some rest/From all the unborn chicken voices in my head/What’s that, what’s that?”

Pretty cool story of how this video was made… (via MetaFilter)
