Music Monday – “We’re in a state of crisis, people are dying/While you line your pockets deep/Commander in Chief/How does it feel to still be able to breathe?”

Pretty powerful… “Commander-in-Chief” – Demi Lovato

Music Monday – “Well, the nobles said to the people, ‘You better close your public schools/Until the events of death has ending, you better close your churches too.'”

Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest. Ironically, since he was covering for a country singer who the show cancelled for blatantly disregarding Covid restrictions, White played a mash-up of a few different songs including an old blues tune written about the pandemic of 1918… If that […]

Music Monday – “I’m sure you’ve heard it all before/But you never really had a doubt/I don’t believe that anybody/Feels the way I do about you now”

Hard to believe Oasis’ “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory” album is 25 years old being released in the fall of 1995. Oasis was basically a one-hit wonder in North America for most people but I was fortunate to be in England in fall 1995 on a University exchange which was during the height of the […]

Music Monday – “I got 500 dollars in cash in case they don’t take AMEX/She wanted to see me so now I’m headed to/The Annex Sorority house, she snuck me in, she tried to/Keep quiet, couldn’t hold it in”

Pretty cool that a U of R grad has hit the top of the BBC Asian music charts and gone viral on TikTok with this song… “Young Shahrukh” – Tesher

Rolling Stone Revises Their Top 500 Albums List

It’s funny how much debate and controversy that these types of lists stir up considering it is literally impossible to say that “Abbey Road” (#5) or “Pet Sounds” (#2) or “What’s Going On?” (#1) are “better” than one or the other (though obviously “Abbey Road” is the greatest album of all-time!) 😉

Music Monday – “It’s called me belligerent, it’s took me for ignorant/But it ain’t never once made me scared just to be/Could you imagine just constantly worryin’/Kickin’ and fightin’, beggin’ to breathe?”

Okay, getting to one of the top o’ mind topics mentioned in my list yesterday – a new surprise album from Tyler Childers was released the other day.  It features eight instrumental fiddle tunes then a single “regular” song with lyrics calling for more kindness and understanding among citizens including many who listen to Childers […]

Music Monday – “Four years old/Riding that new bike/No training wheels/Holding on real tight/Oh baby/Everyone falls”

Not sure what it means when you’re getting music recommendations from your mother-in-law but that’s how I first heard of this singer who also happens to be an RN that my mother-in-law worked with prior to her retirement. Also important to note that this video has some scenes shot at Nickle Lake Regional Park where […]

Music Monday – “All those who remember the war/They won’t forget what they’ve seen/Destruction of men in their prime/Whose average age was nineteen”

He’s broken *so* many taboos and boundaries in politics. But Trump’s taking a lot of pushback after reports of multiple negative comments against the military so maybe, just maybe, this will finally break through to some supporters that he’s not a good person and maybe even help guarantee a loss in November (or at least […]

10 Things I Love About Our Various Google Nest Devices

When we bought our new house, we also got a much faster Internet connection which is part of the reason I started getting more into smart home devices – Internet-enabled security cameras, multi-coloured LED lights we can control remotely, smart TVs and eventually about half a dozen various Google Nest smart devices placed strategically around […]

Music Monday – “I ain’t got a dime/In these old worn out jeans/So I’ll stop eatin’ steak/And go back to beans.”

  “Cowpoke” – Colter Wall
