Here are my default listening choices when camping…
“Coyote” – Blake Berglund – our default summer album continues to be a fave this summer
“Six Volts” – Fred Eaglesmith – my (current) favourite Fred Eaglesmith album
“Traveller” – Chris Stapleton – last.fm says I listened to “From A Room Vol. 2” more but “Traveller” would’ve been my guess. Weird analogy but “Traveller” is like “Appetite For Destruction” while “From A Room Vol 1 & 2” are like “Use Your Illusion 1 & 2”
“Lumineers” – Lumineers – this isn’t an album I queue up to listen to from start to finish like the others above. I think it showed up because I have a lot of different Lumineers songs on a couple playlists I also listen to while camping.
“Best of the Eagles” – The Eagles – same as last explanation, I think The Eagles show up because I have a lot of their hits sprinkled throughout my playlists but never listen to this album from start to finish.
So instead of Lumineers and Eagles, which *albums* do I default to? My picks would be “Mercy” by Sam Baker and “Colter Wall” by Colter Wall.
When my wrist is healed and I’m up to typing longer pieces again, I’m hoping to write a long percolating post about how the Sask NDP can make in-roads in rural Saskatchewan.
But until then, had a great visit at Shea’s aunt and uncle’s on Saturday night…
Breaking my wrist last week means I made it nearly a decade since my last broken bone (and Pace remains equally horrified/fascinated by my latest injury!)
I think Shea paid $12 for one day of parking (she left so late the first evening we arrived at the hospital, the gate was open and she didn’t have to pay that day then she paid $12 our second day and then we parked on the street when I popped back into the hospital’s cast clinic my third day for a thumb splint which I was surprised I didn’t even have to pay for, having had to buy my crutches when I broke my leg a decade ago.)
We are extremely fortunate to have universal healthcare in Canada and times like this are when I appreciate it the most!
