In 1990, just before they got massive, The Tragically Hip played a small club in Regina called “The Venue”. Someone put a video camera on one of the balconies in the club and has now posted some of this historically valuable footage. Here’s a clip of an unreleased early song called “Night Comes Down” (or “Night […]

Ricochet vs. Will Ospreay Full Match
This match from New Japan Pro Wrestling is getting a lot of attention, positive and negative. Some are saying the match’s focus on the gymnastics and “flippy shit” takes away from the suspension of disbelief at the heart of all pro wrestling matches. Others (including one of the match participants) are defending it as one […]
Gord Downie Taught Me To Dance: Memories of A Band That Defined Me and My Country
So I woke up today to the very sad news that Gord Downie, lead singer of the Tragically Hip, has terminal brain cancer. Obviously, as you age, it’s natural that your own heroes and icons will age ahead of you. But 2016 has been a rough year where we lost some top-shelf music icons – […]
Music Monday – “We’ve got real def rhythms and fresh new jams/And ya think we got egos but we’re just hams/Scott plays stickball and likes to skate/Frank is never on time he’s always…Sleeping! ‘Late!'”
I loved this song when I was in college… “I’m The Man” – Anthrax
Music Monday – “Our house had the biggest patio/Our house had all the summer shade/We had patio lanterns “
Really enjoying our back yard patio as Shea and I continue to make more and more improvements – the most recent is the addition of some lattice and and a new gate… Now we only need a theme song for our new favourite place! 😉 “Patio Lanterns” – Kim Mitchell
A Selfie A Day For 8.5 Years
Following yesterday’s post about a guy who created a montage of him singing a single song over five years, here’s a new record holder – one selfie every day for 8.5 years!
Music Monday – “Time came a-creeping, oh, and time’s a loaded gun/Every road is a ray of light/It goes on, time only can lead you on/Still, it’s such a beautiful night”
A young guy took photos of himself every day for five straight years to create this montage of a Coldplay song. Spoiler alert but since the thumbnail he picked gives it away anyhow, it appears that he came up with a pretty cool way to commemorate his undergrad years… “Life in Technicolour” – Coldplay
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Prince Died A Week Ago and…
…this is all Sasha’s heard her daddy saying around the house for the past week!
Music Monday – “I only wanted to see you/Bathing in the purple rain”
I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]
Friday Fun Link – The First Ever Performance of “Purple Rain”
Prince was against his music being available on most streaming services (except artist-friendly Tidal) and even YouTube so it’s hard to find clips to help celebrate the man and his music after his untimely passing yesterday. Still, there are spots where some clips exist online – none more historic than his first-ever live performance of […]
