Music Monday – “You are my heart/Oh my Queen of the Furrows/This is how I farm, eyes up and ears down low/You are my heart, you’re my Queen of the Furrows/This how I feel, hens cluck and roosters crow”

Although I was a pretty big fan of the Hip back in their prime years, I sort of backed away – both as their albums became less essential (The top 6 of the 12 Tragically Hip albums rated by CBC were released in the 1980’s or 1990’s, the bottom six were all released after 2000) and […]

Torrent of Last Night’s #tragicallyhip CBC Concert

I sent a half-joking tweet last night that after the Tragically Hip concert, the one thing left for CBC to do was to create a web site to permanently archive the show so fans could re-watch it anytime they wanted. This torrent is the next best thing.

Flipping Out at Get Air Trampoline Park in #yqr

My son not only did all the stunts in this video but stitched them together in iMovie. He’s going to be the world’s first combination stuntman/film editor! 😉

Music Monday – “She’s so young/She’s got the answer/She doesn’t need to question herself like I do”

The Trans-Canada Highwaymen is another Canadian supergroup made up of members of Sloan, Barenaked Ladies, The Odds, and Pursuit of Happiness with a conceit that they’ll play hits from their own bands but only songs that each member wrote for their other groups (which is why it’s ironic that they stick a bit of “Poets” […]

Music Monday – “Where have all my friends gone?/They’ve all disappeared/Turned around maybe one day/You’re all that was there.”

I’ve heard this song before but after hearing it on a random Americana playlist last Friday and suddenly I can’t get it out of my head… “Blue” – The Jayhawks

Luckily, he’s living under Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” desk… (Oh, and here’s a summary of 25 of Trump’s biggest lies, exaggerations and misrepresentations from his convention speech last night.)

I’ve had this blog for ten years and my actual birthday has fallen on a “Music Monday” only once in 2009 when I naturally posted…“Paranoid Android” by Radiohead? Maybe I did this because only a couple years earlier in 2009, I fudged things and posted “Birthday” by the Beatles on the Monday before my birthday […]
