Music Monday – “These cruel men keep running ’round/That’s why Charlie’s coming down”
You may be familiar with CBC Radio’s “Great Canadian Song Quest“, a contest where people could write-in votes for different locations in each of Canada’s provinces and territories then a designated artist/band from each region write a song about the top vote getting spot. (The first edition was 2009 and featured specific locations. This year’s […]
Ex-Nazi Head of Worldwide Pedophile Ring Warns of “Atheist Menace” (cue laughter from irony police)
Atheist menace? Sure thing, Emperor. 👿 UK officials had some good ideas about the Perp’s visit initally but I think persecuting him for crimes against humanity is a better option. I mean, his “get out of jail free” card is pretty flimsy by any standard. Oh well, we can hope! (most links via Reddit and […]
Which Tribe Do You Lead?
Seth Godin giving a TedTalk on the tribes we lead – the idea that we’re passed the age of marketing and back to an old fashioned idea that our main influence is the people around us (but now, we have technology instead of campfires to tell our stories around.) Lots of relevant ideas whether you’re […]
Saccharine Sunday – 90 Days With AIDS
“A woman with AIDS is filmed briefly, every day, for 90 days, and the changes she undergoes are dramatic. The very end may make you weep, but perhaps not for the reasons you expect.” Aids PSA Topsy from Human Music & Sound Design on Vimeo. (via MetaFilter)
If this clip were a Superstore marinade, it’d be called “Memories of FIMS”
Look at all the baby librarians!!! Just joking but this is a great video about the UWO library school a couple current graduating students. I’m in HR but don’t actually have the magical power to hire anyone. Too bad though – I’ve often thought that libraries should be monitoring what’s happening in library schools and […]
Music Monday – "When your infant starts to nurse/Oxytocin's released from the brain with a burst" (Happy World Breastfeeding Week!)
It's World Breastfeeding Week so here's a song, written by a nursing student, about the subject. I don't usually do a long narrative for my Music Monday posts but I'm got to say that I'm so amazingly proud of Shea for the dedication she put into breastfeeding Pace for over two and a half years […]
Music Monday – "Looked up to the Lord above and said 'Hey man, thanks!'"
I remember watching this performance live when it was first broadcast – I think on MuchMusic back in the day. At the time the song “Nautical Disaster” hadn't yet been released and was only a rant in the middle of “New Orleans Is Sinking”. I didn't realise this and thought Gord Downie was being his […]
Music Monday – "We could live/For a thousand years/But if I hurt you/I'd make wine from your tears"
Beck apparently gets together with a group of musicians regularly. They record a cover of an entire album in a single day then release the results. Here's their haunting take on a well-known song from INXS' “Kick” album (and yes, I'll admit it – one of my favourite songs from high school):(via NPR's “Top 5 […]
Music Monday – "But hell, I'm just a blind man on the plains/I drink my water when it rains/And live by chance among the lightning strikes"
I'm about as far from a Pitchfork following, Fleet Iver Weekend-listening hipster as you'll find. But I do have friends who fit that category and a recent visit to Vancouver where I got to catch up with one of those friends also introduced me to a new singer-songwriter who I think is probably very much […]
