(Belated) Music Monday – “Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact/Do not react/Shoot the messengers”

I forgot to do a Music Monday post yesterday but it worked out okay because this video showed up in my News Feed today! Most people figured a new Radiohead song/album was imminent as Radiohead, already known for very unique albums releases, had done something very unique in the past few days. In our hyper-viral attention […]

Music Monday – “I only wanted to see you/Bathing in the purple rain”

I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]

Friday Fun Link – The First Ever Performance of “Purple Rain”

Prince was against his music being available on most streaming services (except artist-friendly Tidal) and even YouTube so it’s hard to find clips to help celebrate the man and his music after his untimely passing yesterday. Still, there are spots where some clips exist online – none more historic than his first-ever live performance of […]

Music Monday – “The riots started slowly/With the homeless and the lowly/It spread into the heartland/Towns that never got a wristband.”

Music Monday – “The raven is a wicked bird/His wings are black as sin.” #skpoli #skvotes #skelxn

This musician seems very appropriate for my Music Monday post today – Colter Wall who is still my favourite Wall from Swift Current! 😉 But in all seriousness, though I am not a fan of Colter’s dad’s politics, I respect that he is a masterful politician. So congrats to Premier Brad Wall for his third majority victory […]
