Music Monday – “Do you call it as you see it and you’ve always been that way?/Are you reminiscent of how things were back in the day?/Are you agitated with the young’uns always wanting change?/Well here’s your invite to a group of folks like you and me”

“Support Local” takes many forms.  With the lack of live music, why not support a local musician or band by buying their songs (especially a timely one like this one which also has a great video!)   “Pity Party – Blake Berglund

The Roud Folk Song Index

Doing some quick research about yesterday’s post led to me to discover the Roud Folk Song Index which I don’t think I’d heard of before but which reminds me once again (as if I need reminding!), why librarians and archivists are so vital to society (and also interesting, witty and funny!): The Roud Folk Song […]

Music Monday – “And if anyone can aid me ‘t is my brother in the army/If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney/And if he’ll go with me, we’ll go rovin’ through Kilkenney/And I’m sure he’ll treat me better than my own a-sporting Jenny”

R.E.M.’s “Out of Time” Turns 30

Freedom To Read Week 2021 – Day Two – Music Monday – “Mama said, she’s my brothers daughter/And I don’t even know who’s my father/I guess she’s my cousin/But she needs some sweet lovin’ anyway” – #ftrw

I posted this song in June 2019 with only a brief reference to the controversy around the song’s contents which evoke incest and rape. But I thought it might be worth revisiting for FTRW, especially in light of the news that came out in August 2020 that the band’s bassist had subsequently been accused of […]
