Music Monday – "There she goes again/Mixing melody with a memory/She's got a song for everything/Everywhere she's been, everyone she's pleased"

iTunes Canada has a free single of the week and this week happens to be local Regina indy buzz band, Library Voices, who are sort of a western Canadian version of Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene or dare I say it, Polyphonic Spree – any of those recent bands (“collectives” would probably be a better […]

Music Monday – "When the good times never stay/And the cheap thrills/Always seem to fade away"

A great part of 90's college rock (and gotta love the Dennis Miller intro too!)…

Happy Third Birthday, Pace!

Stupid YouTube blocked the audio on this stupid video because I used a stupid Oasis song as the backing track.  So there was a bit of a delay (which you might not even notice since I'm backdating this post to May 19 when the video was supposed to go up, dagnabit!) so I could get […]

Tuesday Tunes – "From the happy/Day I met you/Made a bet/I was gonna get you"

This is my favourite song from my favourite 8-track in my parent's collection when I was growing up.  (Ah, K-Tel, is there anything you couldn't do?)

Music Monday – You've got a new horizon/It's ephemeral style/A melancholy town/Where we never smile.

Parody Is Not An Infrigement of Copyright (Watch It While You Can)

I wrote about this meme before.  Turns out that a couple years after these parodies gave their German-language art house film some international attention, the people who made the movie have decided that the single scene used for all these parodies is an “infringement” of their work.  Well, they say that dinosaurs had small brains […]

The Masks We Wear – Jeff McBride

My mom and dad had tickets to a magic show featuring Jeff McBride, courtesy their Investors Group rep so invited Shea and I along.  Not your typical Tuesday night in Regina!
