Another in the never-ending series – Jason's fond memories of his semester in England… Sometimes you just need a song that makes you get up and dance and this one fits the bill perfectly (especially when you're 22 and have a couple pints in you!)(Sorry – embedding disabled by request. I'd link to a live […]
Recently rediscovered the album, “Flaming Pie”, one of my favourite McCartney solo efforts. This song is a number of keepers on the album and the video's great too. Interesting Jason-specific trivia – the death of Linda McCartney in 1998 is probably still one of the saddest celebrity deaths I can recall. The fact that the […]
2009 is apparently the 250th birthday of Robbie Burns, a fact I only discovered while searching for clips from one of my favourite Saskatchewan singer-songwriters, Eileen Laverty. I'm way past Robbie Burns Day but I'll still post it here…such a beautiful song…three days in a row with content to bring a tear to your eye!

Sloop John B.” […]
Loudon Wainwright III played on the closing night of the Regina Folk Fest last night. He didn't play this ode to breastfeeding (at least I don't think so – Shea and I were still outside the main concert area playing with Pace in the kiddie park so only heard his set from a distance) so […]
Shea thought I was joking when I said I wanted to go see MC Hammer play our local summer exhibition here in Regina. I wasn't…but I didn't make it so I guess this clip I found will have to do:I recently blogged about songs I could listen to over and over and “U Can't Touch […]
Found this clip on Reddit and though it's a bit different than my usual Music Monday clips, I thought it was worth sharing as it's definitely got music in it and it's a pretty cool visual too!
