Music Monday – “Book flight December but I leave in May/Drugs are generic but still work the same/I get logins for Netflix from my cousin Greg/Thanks Greg!”

You know that experience when you learn a new word or buy a new vehicle or whatever and after never noticing it before, you suddenly see it everywhere? I had a recent experience except it was with a YouTube rap star.  A friend of mine in the States who’s a teacher posted a pic with […]

Music Monday – “Leaving my pennies on the track/Can’t say if I’m ever coming back”

A British guy I know (in the Facebook sense of “We’ve never met but yeah, we know each other because of our common interest in Fred Eaglesmith) who works as a tour manager for various bands posted this recently. Beautiful… “Applewood Road” – Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace

There have also been some recent revelations that show […]

Friday Fun Link – Barack Obama Dances With Kids During Alaska Trip

After yesterday’s depressing post, I needed something to raise my spirits. This story and video of Barack Obama’s visit to Alaska (including the fact that’s he’s the first POTUS to use a selfie stick and also that a fish ejaculated on him) definitely helps…
