Friday Fun Link – Fred Eaglesmith & Spirit of the West Documentaries Coming
Two of my favourite music acts of all-time have upcoming documentaries… Trailer – The Fred Eaglesmith Traveling Steam Show from Lagoonside Pictures on Vimeo.
Music Monday – “I made something of myself and now you wanna come back/But your love—it isn’t free, it has to be earned/Back then I didn’t have anything you needed so I was worthless”
“American Idol” which has had a massive impact on pop culture ended its 15 season run last week. So I thought I would post a recent clip from the season one winner, Kelly Clarkson, who gives an amazing performance of a very personal song she wrote that contrasts her absentee father against the father of her current […]
Music Monday – “When I was a child I cried/Until my needs were satisfied/My needs have grown up pound for pound/I’ll be at peace when they let me down”
Two legends together. Interesting fact – my montage of photos from the day Pace was born, set to a Loretta Lynn song, is my most viewed YouTube video of all-time with 36,000+ views as I type this. Shea and I were also fortunate to get to see Willie Nelson live in concert while we lived […]
Music Monday – “Right here/Right now/Watching the world wake up from history”
Barack Obama made history today as the first US President to visit Cuba in 60 years. I was trying to think of a good song to post to commemorate this moment – perhaps a popular Cuban song or a recent hit by a Cuban-American rap/dance artist? But then I remembered this song about the fall […]
Music Monday – “Man, I can’t, I shan’t, formulate an anthem, where the words comprise mnemonics”
Happy (extra special) Pi Day (3/14)! It probably shouldn’t surprise me how many nerdy “Pi” songs there are on YouTube. Here’s one of the most clever I found…
Friday Fun Link – Inside Out (Without the “Inside” Parts)
Recent Academy Award “Best Animated Feature” winner, Pixar’s “Inside Out” was one of the best movies released last year. Part of the appeal was how it used cartoonish illustrations to show the interplay of emotions within a person’s head. But what happens if you take away the “inside” parts? You still end up with a pretty […]
Music Monday – “Some other way/There’s got to be another way/We all are scientists who will not be afraid/I’m not saying that there’s no hope for this/And you have tried to change my mind But we all know, our system’s broken/And I, I’ll never vote again”
I’ve had this blog since 2006 but perhaps surprisingly, I’ve never really acknowledged Leap Years even though I’ve been blogging for two of them in 2008 and 2012. So let’s continue that trend by ignoring February 29, 2016 completely in favour of a song inspired by tomorrow’s Super Tuesday vote in the United States… “Vote” […]

#FTRW 2016 – Day Two – Music Monday – Most Controversial Music Videos of All-Time
Take your pick. Here’s #1 on the list which was pretty controversial (by design) at the time back in 1989 but seems relatively tame now…
