Music Monday – "Lately, I've been thinking about everything/Something leaves me stranded in between"
Medicare in Canada: A Message for Americans
The power of social media is pretty amazing sometimes. I found the clip below via a Facebook post a couple days ago. I followed the Facebook link to YouTube when the clip was at less than 100 views. It's now pushing 10 000! This really speaks to the way that information can go viral and […]
Music Monday – "I've been looking at the sky/'Cause it's gettin' me high/Forget the hearse 'cause I never die"
I don't know much in this life but I do know that my version of the great unfinished Canadian novel begins with this line: “There were two kinds of music in my hometown growing up – Country and AC/DC – so the hymn being played at my grandmother's funeral is unfamiliar to say the least.” […]
Radiohead – Inexpensive Charity Single and a Free Song Too
Radiohead is no stranger to innovative music practices. Recently, they've done a couple more…– a one-off charity single, “Harry Patch (In Memory Of), to support the British Legion, an anti-war song written using the words of the UK's last surviving WWI soldier, Harry Patch who died earlier this summer.– and a brand new song, “These […]
Music monday – "You never need to doubt it/I'll make you so sure about it"
No less an expert than Paul McCartney is on record as saying that “God Only Knows” is the best love song ever written. Below is the vocals-only track from the original “Pet Sounds” recording sessions. If you click through to YouTube, you'll find other acapella versions of some other “Pet Sounds” songs. Sloop John B.” […]
Music Monday – "No moo-cow/No billy-goat/Is gonna get the baby's vote"
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 […]
Hitler Finds Out…
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 […]
Music Monday – "I've got to be unstoppable/I've got to be unstoppable/Eh, eh you don't like/eh, eh, eh you don't like."
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. […]
Music Monday – "As for the whole thing we are/Ever smaller than you think/Yet on our own plain/We're giants building statues of ourselves."
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, […]
We're All In This Together – One Final Meili Tribute Video
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 […]
