Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu/To be honest”

I’m planning to post a month of Music Monday Xmas tunes, starting with this great atheist-themed Christmas song originally posted by my friend Cenobyte last year on Facebook or her blog (I don’t think I ended up posting it last year but if I did, it’s worth listening to again!)

Music Monday – “Anything we have known/Anything we’ve forgotten/In the rain/In the dark/We’ll lay”

Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…

Music Monday – “Jane says/Have you seen my wig around/I feel naked without it”

Meanwhile, in an alternate universe…

No one in the convention hall at the Queensbury Convention Centre was more surprised than Ryan Meili.  It was June 6, 2009 and the Saskatchewan NDP were choosing their new leader from among four candidates.  After Deb Higgins had been dropped off after the first ballot and Yens Pedersen had conceded, Meili knew there was […]

Music Monday – “In a corner of the world on election day/You watched your star shatter/Then fade away/Too many wasted days”

I wasn’t sure which would be a fitting song to post for Saskatchewan’s election day but I saw the lyric I quoted in the post title posted to Twitter by an NDP staff member this morning…

It’s The First Snow of the Year (Dates Archive)

An annual tradition on this blog is the posting of this Hawksley Workman song which perfectly captures the joy that comes with the first snowfall of the year.  I also realised this also makes an informal weather history – and not sure if I’m always consistent on this but I think I tend to record […]
