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)
Music Monday – “Sonny carries a load, he is barely a man/There’s not all that much to do, still he does the best he can/And he lives in a room, at the top of the stairs/And the sea keeps on rollin in, it’s done that for years.”
Yet another Newfoundland classic guaranteed to get everybody in the pub singing along…
Newfoundland Trip – Music Monday – “To wake in the early morn/To the sound of the old fog horn/And wait for the men to return/With their boats in the bay”
Last Monday, I wrote about the musical cultures of the various provinces. Now that I’m here in Newfoundland, the musicality of this province is overwhelming. I couldn’t name a single folk song that unifies the people of Saskatchewan (does “Last Saskatchewan Pirate” count?) whereas I’ve heard the song below probably half a dozen times in […]
Music Monday – “But now we’re bound for ol’ St. John’s/Where all the girls are dancing/Heave away, me jolly boys/We’re all bound away!”
Hmm, do other provinces have a distinctive musical sound in the same way that the Maritime provinces do? In a very stereotypical way, I’d say that the music of Quebec is probably linked by the fact that it’s…sung in French. For the prairies (well, Alberta at least) I think of traditional country & wesetern music […]
Music Monday – “So serene/The world turns blue/Heads are spinning/It feels so good”
One of my favourite British bands (I consider them Britpop but not sure everyone defines them that way) does a piss-take version of the typical Ibizia club anthem (love the refrain!)
Music Monday – “You’ll bring your overhead projector/To demonstrate where we’d go wrong/You’ll chart our every flaw/Shone ten times tall on the bedroom wall”
I’ve already detailed my love for The Submarines many times on this blog and the band’s new album doesn’t disappoint…
Music Monday – “With enough training, your fingers are almost as good as a wrench. Hurts though…”
Behold the wonder that is former Fred Eaglesmith sideman, Washboard Hank…
