Music Monday – "I was sitting there watching TV/Wendy came and sat on my knee."

In honour of the last episode of “Corner Gas” tonight, here's one of my favourite songs by the Odds, the former band of Craig Northey who wrote the “Corner Gas” theme song, “Not A Lot Going On”. (Unfortunately, the clip is from MuchMoreMusic who have more crap around the edge of the screen than the […]

Music Monday – "Snow's so merciless/Poor old Montreal/In spite of everything that's happened/In spite of it all"

Time to break out the long-neglected “CLA Conference” tag.  Just got word today that I was approved to go to this year's CLA conference in Montreal at the end of May!  I'm especially happy about this because I'd had a feeler extended to see if I'd be coming to the conference and available to sit […]

Music Monday – "Sitting alone/With the TV on/I fell asleep/I was hoping you'd call"

Music Monday – "Every word, every little look, every little sign, every little phrase"

I wanted to keep the political theme of my last couple posts going so went a' searching for a relevant song I had in mind (in title if not in actual sentiment).  This live gem popped up hitting on a number of notes – it's from a concert in li'l London, it's from the first […]

Music Monday – "Fill my heart with song/Let me sing for ever more/You are all I long for/All I worship and adore" March 16, 2009

The week before we left for Vegas I posted Elvis as my Music Monday clip.  So now that we're back, I thought I'd close with another Vegas icon…  (and speaking of The King, a note to self: do not include the joking phrase “Going to Las Vegas for an Elvis Convention” in your e-mail auto-reply […]

Music Monday – "How I wish that there were more/Than twenty-four hours in the day/Cause even if there were forty more/I wouldn't sleep a minute anyway" – March 2, 2009

So, on somewhat short notice, Shea and I have decided to head for Sin City (except that we'll have Pace in tow so “sin” will be restricted to too much sugar and staying up later than 8pm.)  How this came about is that my parents called last weekend that they'd won a free flight to […]

FTRW 2009 – Music Monday – "You May Take Offense/To A Word Like Fuck or Shit (DICK!)" (Feb 23, 2009)

This was a popular song when I was in undergrad around the time that Nobel Peace Prize winner, Al Gore's wife, Tipper was contributing to greenhouse gases by shooting off a lot of hot air about obscene lyrics in popular music.  Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that Anthrax released two versions of their album […]

Music Monday – "Numbers, letters, learn to spell/Nouns and books and show and tell" – February 16, 2009

It's Family Day here in Sask and elsewhere across Canada so I thought I'd post the following video in honour of the day.  It's the video slideshow version of a photo book that we made for the grandparents at Christmas set to a nice little White Stripes song.

Music Monday – "Past old crooked dykes/Through Yorkshire's green fields/We were flung into dance/As the train jigged and reeled" – February 9, 2009

If I had to pick a single song to define my time as an undergrad, it would likely be this one.  The song only took on more relevance after I went to York, England in 1995 for a four-month exchange.  I post it today in honour of Chris McG., one of the American exchange students […]
