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 (!) […]

Too Many Tabs Tuesday – Cuba Bound!

Pace has been counting down the “sleeps” until we go to Cuba on Thursday. Meanwhile his daddy has been counting down “how many days left of standing at the bus stop freezing my butt off?” 😉 We leave Thursday for a week’s vacation and since Cuba is one of the least connected countries in the […]

Music Monday – The Cream of Britpop Class of 1995 – Where Are They Now?

Noel Gallagher quit Oasis last year (apparently for good this time – it used to be a weekly occurrence back in the day) so the core of the group has reformed as “Beady Eye” with a newly released album, “Different Gear, Still Speeding”, which is pretty rocking… Blur reunited last year but much more interestingly, […]

FTRW 2011 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Like sex on the beaches/What else is in the teaches of peaches? Huh? What?”

We screened a few films during library school that either had a library theme (Party Girl) or that somehow related to library issues. One that we showed which is very heavily connected to the concept of freedom to read/freedom of speech was “The Aristocrats” and my frequent partner-in-crime, Quinn Dupont outdid himself by playing this […]

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 […]
