Music Monday – "Fireflies and the stars in the sky/And the gently glowing eye from your cigarette"
I could easily do 52 weeks of Music Monday posts featuring only catchy power-pop Britpop songs circa 1995. (I do admit – this is one crappy video though – looks like a Red Hot Chili Peppers outtake. You can check out the US video for the song to see which you prefer.)
The Gift of an Ordinary Day
My sporadically-recurring blog feature “Saccharine Sunday” returns with this video which is a bit over the top (especially that piano motif in the background – gag!) but has an otherwise touching message. Even though it's aimed at middle aged, empty nester, as a relatively new parent, I enjoyed it too. Sometimes seeing Pace run down […]
Saturday Snap – "Snapping An NHL Record"

Tonight, the Bruins scored an NHL record THREE short-handed goals during one powerplay. Having just read a CalgaryPuck thread about NHL records that will never be […]
Music Monday – "Up at a decent hour, I never ate yet/Got a little Johnny Cash in the old tape deck."

Saturday Snap – Pace Sings The Alphabet Song (Some of It Anyhow)
I think the secret is to avoid watching YouTube videos of other two year olds who are reciting Shakespeare and playing piano…
Friday Fun Link – "Happy New Year Luie!" (March 19, 2010)
I was going to save this for Music Monday but it's too good to not share right away. As one YouTube commenter observes, is this like looking at the roots of the delta slide blues guitar style?(via MetaFilter)
The Future of Publishing
Make sure you watch to the end…
Music Monday (Okay, Tuesday) – "I like to chug it so it feels really danceable"
Q TV from CBC Radio has a new (?) series where they get their guests to explain how to play one of their hits. Here's Hawksley Workman being entertaining as always in explaining how to play “Safe & Sound”:
