One of my favourite things about listening to music is hearing a song that catches you just right and you like it so much, you end up playing it repeatedly. That was me with this song this past weekend… “One More Night in Brooklyn” – Justin Townes Earle

Music Monday – “Angel of Death/Monarch to the kingdom of the dead/Infamous butcher/Angel of Death”
Is it too early to start posting Christmas songs? 😉 “Last Christmas/Angel of Death” – Wham!/Slayer Mash-Up
Music Monday – Spike Lee’s “Do It Acapella”
Normally I feature a single song in my Music Monday posts but a recent Twitter thread about how popular acapella was in the 1990’s reminded me of this documentary I happened to catch on PBS when it was first broadcast. Later, I found the CD in a record store, possibly in the States, and it’s […]
Music Monday – “2020, 24 hours to go/I Wanna Be Sedated”
I saw this clever play on words from the lyrics of a Ramones song on Twitter and had to steal it for today’s Music Monday post with 2020 being the craziest year in a century and twenty-fours until we’re watching election returns in the United States… “I Wanna Be Sedated” – The Ramones
Art and Music In Relation To Space and Time
This quote is pretty profound…
Friday Fun Link – “Almost A Full Moon” Workshop
Pretty cool – Hawksley Workman’s “Almost a Full Moon” is being turned into a stage play…
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
