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 – "When the weather gets rough/And it's whiskey in the shade/It's best to wrap your saviour/Up in cellophane." – February 2, 2009

They say you can't truly know your parents until you become one yourself…
Music Monday – "I don't need to sell my soul/He's already in me"
Various Britpop bands are currently in various states of planning their reunion tours…
Music Monday – "I can't wake up from a dream/When the dream is real…these broken fingers."
Sam Baker tells a true story preceding this live performance that sets the scene for one of the most emotional songs you might ever here (worth reading the link I provided for the full backstory before watching the clip as well):
