How can all of YouTube not have a version of Bob Dylan doing “Political World”? Seriously??? Okay, here’s a cover by some dude in his bedroom…

Friday Fun Link – SaskNDP Candidate Playlists
I’m at the NDP convention this weekend and one fun thing they did is release a YouTube playlist of all the candidate’s favourite songs. Reflecting the diversity of the party, there’s classics and country and indie and metal and dance. If you can’t be at the after parties, it’s the next best thing! One other […]
When He Goes To India For Six Months…
…his friends promise to have a six-month party in his absence. This is the video that was waiting on his Playstation when he got home along with an instruction to “push play”. (via MetaFilter)
Music Monday – “And Sunday comes afterwords!”
Last Friday, I wrote about Chat Roulette Love Song which was the extremely successful proof of a guy’s Masters thesis on viral video. Speaking of Friday, another recent viral video that blew up even bigger than Chat Roulette Love Song is the video for “Friday” by Rebecca Black which has gained over 30 million (!) […]
Saturday Snap – Varadero Beach, Early in the Morning
Our first morning in Varadero, Shea, Pace and I woke up early (well, we woke Mr. Sleepy Head up!) and made our way down to the beach which we ended up having pretty much to ourselves. One of many special moments from our trip…
Friday Fun Link – “At first I was just happy you weren’t another naked guy” – ChatRoulette Love Song
If you’re not familiar with ChatRoulette, read this old post first. As I say in that post, a good portion of Chat Roulette’s participants appear to be young men looking to expose themselves to unsuspecting (although if you’re on ChatRoulette, it won’t take long to become “suspecting”) viewers. Occasionally though, Chat Roulette breeds some incredible […]
And Now A Message From Shane MacGowan…
…Happy St. Patty’s Day! But as someone points out in the comments, “Shane will be drunk temporarily but the interviewer will be a twat forever.” (Though that’s admittedly a pretty broad definition of “temporarily”!) Ah well, he’s always been a gooder, addictions or no.
Music Monday – The Cream of Britpop Class of 1995 – Where Are They Now?
Noel Gallagher quit Oasis last year (apparently for good this time – it used to be a weekly occurrence back in the day) so the core of the group has reformed as “Beady Eye” with a newly released album, “Different Gear, Still Speeding”, which is pretty rocking… Blur reunited last year but much more interestingly, […]
FTRW 2011 – Day Five – Karma’s A Bitch! (aka RPL Endorses Censorship…Maybe?)
During my FTRW series last year, I did one post about a book that had been removed from Saskatoon Public Library back in 2004. Beyond having fun with the healthy rivalry between our two fine cities, I also tried to make a serious point. In addition to sounding like a really flimsy reason to remove […]
FTRW 2011 – Day Four – Political Censorship
There are numerous ongoing examples of governments and political institutions preventing the sharing of information – often in the name of “security” but often, more accurately, in the name of “not being embarrassed”. The United States is one of the biggest hypocrites in this area, applying a “the same rules we want for other countries […]
