Music Monday – “When the guns are the fence post/The cars are the doghouse/And the telephones no longer ring/What, what of the night/With no electrical light/So what then?”

With apologies to Leonard Cohen, this is easily the sweetest love song about the end of the world ever. Or if that’s not your speed, how about a 200 love song YouTube playlist? Happy Valentine’s Day!

Music Monday – “What so proudly we watched/At the twilight’s last gleaming”

The Superbowl is always one of the most watched TV events of the year so most people probably saw this live yesterday or have heard about it by now. So you probably also know that Christina Aguilera screwed up the words to the US national anthem before the game. What you might not know is […]

Music Monday – ChatRoulette Meets Open Mic Nights?

Occasionally I do a search for some of my favourite bands on YouTube, limited by “Date Uploaded” to see if there are any new clips from their recent concerts.  A recent search for “Hawksley Workman” didn’t lead to any clips of him specifically but did lead to a couple recent covers.  One was tagged “Me […]

Music Monday – “Take on me/When I come around/Take me on/When I come around/Take me on”

The answer is of course, melody.  But this is still pretty cool…

Music Monday – “How does it feel to treat me like you do” vs. “One man came in the name of love”

Today is apparently Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year… …as well as Martin Luther King Jr. Day which makes it also one of the most celebratory, uplifting days of the year.  (I hope the world doesn’t explode.)

Music Monday – “Jesus was a black man, No, Jesus was Batman, no-no-no, that was Bruce Wayne!”

Okay, my Atheist Xmas series of posts is done but I just had to share this song which has one of the best lines ever (see post title)! Pace and I were dancing around listening to music the other day and this song from my England semester abroad came on.  I immediately thought of the […]

And Now I’ll Explode Your Cute-O-Meter…

Usually I’d save a video like this for Music Monday.  But it’s too cute (and going viral too fast!) to save it for next week.    Enjoy!

Music Monday – “DA;LKJFWQ-E9UFE;LKJF;DLKJDA,M”

I’d bookmarked this clip of all of Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits played at once as something that would make a humourous Music Monday post someday.  Revisiting it, I realise it also does a great job of replicating the way that my head feels right now  I hate being sick…

Music Monday – “You look like an angel/Your skin makes me cry”

I recently discovered a sub-Reddit that could give me Music Monday material for years to come.  r/coversongs is exactly as it says – links to various cover versions of songs done by well-known and unknown performers. Here’s one of my favourite covers that I’ve come across so far… …which you can contrast with the following […]

Music Monday – “Look through a faithless eye/Are you afraid to die?”

Atheism week continues here on the Head Tale with today’s Music Monday clip, “Thoughts of a Dying Atheist” by Muse. A quick review of the lyrics could provide a few meanings.  On its surface, iit’s basically about how an atheist must feel when facing death, knowing that their beliefs mean there is nothing afterward – […]
