Friday Fun Link – The Best Cover of Every Beatles Song
Is there another band that’s had every song across their entire discography covered completely by other artists? Impossible to post a single favourite… A classic Beatles tune… This song has been covered 2200 times and they picked one of the best covers… An East Indian band via the UK reclaims the sitar (and the language!)… […]
Heardle
There are literally hundreds of Wordle variations but Heardle, which plays increasingly longer snippets of a song as you try to get the track name and artist, is one of the most unique I’ve found.
Music Monday – “Spinning on that dizzy edge/I kissed her face and kissed her head/And dreamed of all the different ways I had”
“Just Like Heaven” – Chvrches w/ Robert Smith
Friday Fun Link – 3-Day Novel Contest Locked in A Chapters Bookstore
A writer I know recently posted about a contest he participated in where he spent three days in a Chapters bookstore trying to write a novel. The contest was put on by Book Television, a Canadian specialty channel that closed last year. When I worked in the cultural non-profit sector, I remember writing a letter […]

Friday Fun Link – Phantom of the Opera Lead Singer Surprises Street Busker
Sometimes I get excited and retweet stuff then think, why didn’t I save that for my blog?!? This is one such time. I have already retweeted this clip but it’s so joyful, I’m going to put it in a blog post too…
Music Monday – “And we can still get information/Reading all about inflation/And you’re never gonna be out of reach/There’s a call-box on the beach”
Shea’s folks are in for appointments and staying at a hotel so we popped over for a swim and a visit. For some reason the song below kept running through my head (and that, in turn, bringing back fond memories of season-ending party at my hometown pool where all the lifeguards did a poolside dance […]
