Bobby Jurasin Documentary (Featuring pre-fame Brett Butt) I was flipping through YouTube and came across a profile of my all-time favourite Rider, #71 Bobby Jurasin (which features a few cameos by a pre-“Corner Gas” Brent Butt starting around the 11:45 mark!) I got to meet Mr. Jurasin when a few of us who played with […]

Friday Fun Link – “Terms and Conditions May Apply” Documentary
Shea and I are watching a great documentary as I type this – you should too! (Er, it’s on NetFlix and they’ll track that you watched it of course.)
A Couple Reasons I Really Like Doug Stanhope
Doug Stanhope is a fucking awesome comedian who is cool with people torrenting his stuff… And “his stuff” includes brilliant material like this… And this…
Music Monday – “I was tired of being put right down/By myself for not being what you thought/You had found pulled hard in two directions”
Happy Labour Day! This year’s Labour Day is especially relevant as our current provincial government has proposed sweeping new legislation to “modernize” Saskatchewan’s labour laws by combining twelve existing pieces of Legislation into a single omnibus bill, a move which will “likely have many unintended consequences and costs.

Music Monday – “It’s our party we can do what we want/It’s our party we can say what we want.”
So everybody’s talking about the raunchy Miley Cyrus performance last night at the MTV Video Music Awards (including perhaps the weirdest MetaFilter thread ever where a discussion of whether the Miley Cyrus performance is pushing the “real” news about Syria off of front pages leads to a long parallel thread that jumps back and forth with people alternating […]

A great book that is “loaded with librarian appeal” is becoming a movie…
Paul McCartney’s Bass Playing
Paul McCartney is well-known as a multi-instrumentalist – proficient on drums, skilled on guitar and keyboard and virtuoso on bass. After yesterday’s post about how I used to read rec.music.beatles, I stumbled across an analysis of his bass playing over the years which is quite good. Here’s the end of the article where a few […]
Music Monday – Paul McCartney – “Live in New York City” Full DVD on YouTube
Who knows how long it will be there but right now, there’s a full version of the most recent Paul McCartney concert DVD up on YouTube (I’ve been listening to the CD version on Rdio non-stop for the last week!)
Who Is The Paul McCartney Band?
So the recent concert got me curious about the current members of his band – who are they (other than obviously top-flight, crackerjack musicians?) Here are some video clips that feature each of them… Rusty Anderson (Lead Guitar) Brian Ray (Guitar, Bass) Paul “Wix” Wigens (Keyboards, Guitar, Accordian) Abe Laboriel Jr. (Drums)
Friday Fun Link – A Very Special Tattoo
As I mentioned yesterday in my random thoughts about the McCartney concert post, one of the things I learned in advance of the show is that McCartney often picks out someone holding a sign in the front rows and brings them on stage to meet them or accept the gift they’ve brought or whatever. Regina […]
