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 […]

Music Monday – "Summertime, I think it was June/Yeah, I think it was June." – January 26, 2009

I posted this song a couple years ago, long before I started my “Music Monday” theme posts.  But it's such a good song, especially when it's cold as hell outside and you need a dose of summery-themed goodness, that I thought a re-post was in order.  (Of course that's also the second re-post of an […]

Music Monday – "I'll be very angry/And possibly litigious…with a great dance beat."

I'm no fan of the techmo music but when Stephen Colbert demands that none of his viewers remix the interview after a visit from Lawrence Lessig, that's good enough for me!  (I've got the first one I saw embedded below but there are a few others so far who've taken up the challenge as well.)

Music Monday – "I've got sunshine and red wine, a friend of mine is taking it easy"

A catchy little tune I was introduced to when Ray Materick opened for Fred Eaglesmith at a show in Brantford while we were down in Ontario a couple years ago.

Music Monday – "Go laddie go, don't you ever forget where you're from"

They say you can't truly know your parents until you become one yourself…
