…this is where I’ll be! (And with the waterproof case we got for my iPhone from Santa, this could very well be me taking this exact video! Of course, it was +6 in Regina today and a high of +19 (!) in Maple Creek, SK so, with Lihue Kauai coming in at +23, my timing […]

Music Monday – “Come together/Right now/Over Me”
While Justin Bieber and especially Cee-Lo Brown were “interpreting” Beatles songs on New Year’s Eve for a TV audience of millions, three music legends – Steve Tyler, Alice Cooper and “Weird” Al Yankovic – teamed at a charity fundraiser in Maui to perform in front of a small crowd (filled entirely of people with camera […]
Music Monday – “If god takes you/He leaves a huge footprint of love/And kindness behind/Which is where you once stood.”
One last Christmas song (okay, two in one clip – lucky you!) After watching this, you should immediately go buy the Hawksley Workman Christmas album. He just released a re-recorded, more acoustic version of the album but I prefer the original. (Oh, and I should make an admission. Even though I’m an atheist, I do […]
Saturday Snap – Pace Recites “The Night Before Christmas” (With Some Help From Daddy)
This is actually from last Christmas but I thought it was appropriate to put up this year, especially since my “Saturday Snap” falls on Christmas Eve. (If Pace’s variations on the original aren’t drastic enough for you, there’s also this.)
Friday Fun Link – The Story of “Fairytale of New York”
It’s one of the most remarkable Christmas songs of all-time as well as my personal favourite (but did it make its writers rich as some think a hit Christmas song inevitably does?) Here’s the first in a six-part story of how it came to be (the other five parts should come up as you finish […]
Music Monday – “I was following the pack/All swallowed in their coats/Their scarves of red/Tied ’round their throats/To keep their little heads/From falling in the snow”
There’s a whole sub-genre of songs that aren’t technically Christmas songs but get identified as such because they mention winter or snow or even Christmas in passing (Joni Mitchell’s “River” being the most famous example.) Below is a recent song that I think is also gaining favour as an non-Christmasy seasonal favourite. This is a […]
Friday Fun Link – “Mine is a stupid book!”
Jimmy Kimmel: helping to scar the children of America this Christmas! (This is pretty cruel and also pretty funny!)
Google 2011 Zeitgeist – Year in Review
Google has released an amazing video that captures the major highlights of the year (while also acting as a great showcase for their various services, especially Google+.) (via HuffPost)
Music Monday – “Cause if it sounds wrong on Christmas/Why does it ever sound right?”
“A War Song on Christmas” by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (yes, the actor.)
We All Shine On…
I don’t know how long it’s been around but Bagism.com is one of the first sites I visited regularly on the Internet back in the mid to late 1990’s. I haven’t thought of that site for years until thinking about a good way to capture today’s sad anniversary. I’m sure it’s not what John meant […]
