Music Monday – “Two of us sending postcards/Writing letters on my wall/You and me burning matches/Lifting latches on our way back home”

“Two of Us” – Lake Street Dive

Heardle

There are literally hundreds of Wordle variations but Heardle, which plays increasingly longer snippets of a song as you try to get the track name and artist, is one of the most unique I’ve found.

Music Monday – “Spinning on that dizzy edge/I kissed her face and kissed her head/And dreamed of all the different ways I had”

“Just Like Heaven” – Chvrches w/ Robert Smith

Music Monday – “And night after night we stay out drinking under the streetlights/It’s forty below oh but I don’t mind cause you’re right there to hold me tight/Cause I’m drinking in Edmonton with you/I’m drinking in Edmonton with you”

“Drinking in Edmonton” – The Worst Guy

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!  Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

Friday Fun Link – Phantom of the Opera Lead Singer Surprises Street Busker

Sometimes I get excited and retweet stuff then think, why didn’t I save that for my blog?!? This is one such time. I have already retweeted this clip but it’s so joyful, I’m going to put it in a blog post too…  

Music Monday – “Ain’t singin’ for Pepsi/Ain’t singin’ for Coke/I don’t sing for nobody Makes me look like a joke/This note’s for you”

There’s some irony that Warner Brothers Music Group won’t allow me to embed this anti-corporate sponsorship song on my blog. But worth a click-thru to watch a classic Neil Young song… “This Note’s For You” – Neil Young

Music Monday – “Yeah, to the farmers and the first responders/To the truck drivers shiftin’ gears/Every nurse that needs a break, let me buy you a drink/There ain’t no “I” in beer”

Great pandemic song/video and somewhat ironic that truckers get a shout-out given the KluTruxKlan “Freedom” convoy happening right now.   But the reality is unvaxxed truckers are a very small minority and most truckers and the national trucking association support vaccinations.   “No ‘I” in Beer” – Brad Paisley

Music Monday – “You know that old trees just grow stronger/And old rivers grow wilder every day/Old people just grow lonesome/Waiting for someone to say, “Hello in there, hello”

“Hello In There” – Ian Noe (John Prine Cover)

Music Monday – “Thunder Bay must have been a big mess/Night bus to Regina not at my best/I’m trying to fly straight but I come undone”

“The Opening Act” – Blue Rodeo
