Dolly Parton was the voice in a movie we watched this weekend (Gnomeo & Juliet – very cute!) and that somehow led to me thinking about the various concerts I’ve seen in my life (Dolly being one of the Top Five believe it or not!) Off the top of my head, here’s a very incomplete […]

Music Monday – “Just take a look at these crow’s feet/Just look/Sitting on the prettiest eyes”
We got back from our trip to Calgary last night but after unpacking and doing a few things around the house, I didn’t get around to posting. But I’ve decide to backdate this post on Tuesday to yesterday so I can do a Music Monday post as it connects pretty directly to our trip. We’d […]
Music Monday – “I used to come here when I was six/When everything hurt and I felt sick/There is something about the colder air/That made me feel better than anywhere”
We’re off to Calgary from Wednesday until early next week so it may be another blog holiday depending on how busy we are and what my Internet access is like at our various ports of call. In the meantime, here’s a song from one of my favourite artists I discovered when we lived in Cowtown. […]
Music Monday – “Follow me/Don’t follow me/I’ve got my spine/I’ve got my orange crush”
Today’s the day. Go Orange! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYWf-lrnfs
Music Monday – “Some other way/There’s got to be another/Some other way/There’s got to be another/Some other way”
The song, “Vote” by the Submarines, details a real-life break-up that happened between the duo who lead the band, just before Super Tuesday during the 2008 US Election. Except for the fact that the last line is “We all know, our system’s broken, And I, I’ll never vote again“, I thought it would be appropriate […]
Music Monday – “Pretend to care/Now feel my hair/Play with kids/Turns into fight/Snowball Fight/Pussy out”
An election-themed parody of “Like A Boss” by The Lonely Island…
Music Tuesday – “I know, I know, I know that this is changing/We’ll walk the streets to feel the ground I’m changing”
I had best intentions to do a post about the debate tonight. But I ended up playing in puddles with Pace instead then watching the debate on PVR later while trying to catch up on Twitter posts and do a couple other things as well. I also realised I didn’t do a Music Monday post […]
Music Monday – “I’d always taught my sons/We were safe around police/But when they charged on horses/Well, I dragged us off the street/It made me so angry/They’d endanger children too/In silencing the voices of 1932”
We had singer-songwriter Maria Dunn as the endnote speaker for one of the conferences I organized when I worked for the Writers Guild of Alberta. She gave an awesome presentation about her writing process mixed with a performance of songs from what was then her newest CD (she was in town a couple weeks ago […]
Music Monday – “We’re living in a time/When men commit crimes/And crime don’t have a face”
How can all of YouTube not have a version of Bob Dylan doing “Political World”? Seriously??? Okay, here’s a cover by some dude in his bedroom…
Music Monday – “And Sunday comes afterwords!”
Last Friday, I wrote about Chat Roulette Love Song which was the extremely successful proof of a guy’s Masters thesis on viral video. Speaking of Friday, another recent viral video that blew up even bigger than Chat Roulette Love Song is the video for “Friday” by Rebecca Black which has gained over 30 million (!) […]
