Loudon Wainwright III played on the closing night of the Regina Folk Fest last night. He didn't play this ode to breastfeeding (at least I don't think so – Shea and I were still outside the main concert area playing with Pace in the kiddie park so only heard his set from a distance) so […]
For the last year or so, there's been a web meme going around where people replace the sub-titles in the bunker scene from the German movie “Downfall” with their own interpretation – whether it's “Hitler Finds Out Michael Jackson Died”, “Hitler Finds Out The Ending of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince” or the following […]
Found this clip on Reddit and though it's a bit different than my usual Music Monday clips, I thought it was worth sharing as it's definitely got music in it and it's a pretty cool visual too! (Of course, it'll probably come out that this is a viral advertising campaign for Coke One or something. […]
I found out about Paul MacLeod because I saw that Hawksley Workman had produced one of his early albums. (Oh, I see Hawksley did a few of them actually.) I downloaded this song which I found on Napster or another early file sharing service then went out and bought the entire album (yes, I know, […]
I'd hoped to have this ready a bit earlier (the one month anniversary of the convention vote was one day I flirted with and would've been perfect as it was also a Music Monday!). But it took me longer than I expected – mostly because I was teaching myself to use a different program so […]

I was planning to throw together one last Meili tribute video since it's been a month to the day since the vote at the NDP convention. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll get it done tonight so instead, I'll dedicate today's “Music Monday” clip to Dwain Lingenfelter who, as I type this, is receiving the nomination […]
Sarah Palin announced her resignation on July 3, the Friday before a long weekend which is the classic tactic of a politician trying to bury bad news. But this is Sarah Palin we're talking about here and some are even speculating that she actually timed this announcement to try and tie her news into […]
I wracked my brains trying to think of a unique Michael Jackson song or clip but I think I exhausted the one possibility on that the day the news of his death broke. So instead, I went in the opposite direction (embedding disabled) with perhaps the definitive MJ video in a career that was filled […]
There's tons of commentary all over the web after the news broke that Michael Jackson died today. I don't have much to add but here's a couple random thoughts….– like probably a million people, “Thriller” was my first “real” record (I'm not counting Mini-Pops and crap like that – er, except I loved the Mini-Pops […]
