Music Monday – "As for the whole thing we are/Ever smaller than you think/Yet on our own plain/We're giants building statues of ourselves."

I found out about Paul MacLeod because I saw that Hawksley Workman had produced one of his early  albums.  (Oh, I see Hawksley did a few of them actually.)  I downloaded this song which I found on Napster or another early file sharing service then went out and bought the entire album (yes, I know, […]

Music Monday – "They say it's your birthday/It's my birthday too yeah!"

My birthday's not until Saturday so this is a bit early.  But I thought it was nice that Sir Paul decided to wish me a Happy Birthday anyhow!

Music Monday – "Down in Saskatchewan/Never Meant No Harm To Anyone"

I was planning to throw together one last Meili tribute video since it's been a month to the day since the vote at the NDP convention.  Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get it done tonight so instead, I'll dedicate today's “Music Monday” clip to Dwain Lingenfelter who, as I type this, is receiving the nomination […]

Music Monday – "Then Every Head Turned With Eyes That Dreamed of Being The One"

I wracked my brains trying to think of a unique Michael Jackson song or clip but I think I exhausted the one possibility on that the day the news of his death broke.  So instead, I went in the opposite direction (embedding disabled) with perhaps the definitive MJ video in a career that was filled […]

Music Monday – "Scaramouche, scaramouche/Will you do the fandango?"

A unique version of the infamous Queen song featuring a comic doing 25 of the most annoying distinctive voices in popular music.  “Bohemian Rhapsody” – Queen

Music Monday – "No one can look as good as you/Mercy!

[Edit: A loyal reader has informed me that edarem, the man who made the video below, is a registered sex offender in two states and has a variety of other creepy habits and histories.  That makes this video about a million times creepier if that's possible.] Seriously, if you scare easy, don't watch this…

Music Monday – "So much past/Inside my present"

Below is the video that introduced Ryan at the NDP convention last weekend.  I'm completely biased but Ryan easily had the best floor show of any of the candidates.  I hope someone also uploads his speech because it kicked ass too!  And I can't help but take one last shot at Dwain Lingenfelter by observing […]

Music Monday – "Now the lounge is full of farmers for the 7:30 draw/Teammates all left before they had to buy a round/When they pull the 50/50 and I've lost again, I'll go"

Music Monday – "Either side of Saskatoon/That is the longest leg/813 miles, she's my prairie girl/And the longest stretch of road in the world" (May 11, 2009)

This song was going through my head while driving up to Saskatoon for the SLA conference last weekend…

Music Monday – "Here, Is Where I Feel It" (Ryan Meili Tribute Video)

This is a video montage I made about the Ryan Meili campaign, set to “Canadian Skye” by Spirit of the West…
