Sorry, @officialRPL, I have a new favourite “RPL”

Radiohead has launched the Radiohead Public Library – a massive online archive of streaming albums, music & concert videos, rarities, merchandise and much more. Here’s a list of ten things that are getting fans very excited about this new site. And just for the heck of it, something not on the RPL site but instead, […]

Music Monday – “I was takin’ everything they had to give/It wasn’t all that bad a way to live/Well I’m in this desert town and it’s hot as hell/But no one’s buyin’ what I got to sell”

Saturday Snap – Old-Fashioned #Saskatchewan Saturday Night

My daughter doesn’t realise that when her dad was growing up, before the Internet and the 500-channel universe, TV bingo and polka parties were literally the only forms of entertainment available (no wonder I became such a big reader!) 😉 We re-created a small-town Saskatchewan Saturday night at our house tonight: Playing (fake) TV Bingo… […]

Friday Fun Link – KISS Does The Beatles

Found this flitting around YouTube – is there any band that doesn’t love The Beatles?  (Okay, Michael Stipe famously dissed The Beatles as “elevator music” but I think he later admitted he only meant they weren’t the music he listened to but often heard in the background.)

Saturday Snap – Daddy-Daughter Night

Shea had a very long day and Pace is both pretty introverted and a stereotypical teenager so it’s hard to get him out of the house at the best of times. That meant Sasha and I had a daddy-daughter date to The Artesian’s “Holiday Sing-a-long” Thursday night which was great fun.

Friday Fun Link – My New Christmas Movie Tradition?

I was in the habit of watching *Love Actually” every December but last year I didn’t get to it and instead I watched this which has nothing to do with Christmas but, since I watched it right before Christmas, still managed to feel like a Christmas movie if that makes sense?

Music Monday – “Christmas Eve will find me/Where the love light gleams/I’ll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams”

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – one of the most absolutely beautiful, heart-wrenching Christmas songs of all-time. And so appropriate these days too. We’re extremely excited for our first Christmas in our new house of course. But it also comes with mixed emotions knowing that a decision we made only two […]

Music Monday – “It seems such a waste of time/If that’s what it’s all about/Mama if that’s movin’ up/Then I’m movin’ out”

Music Monday – “Ah, home, let me come home/Home is wherever I’m with you”

I think I’ve probably posted this old viral video before but as we prep to move into our new house, it felt appropriate for a few reasons – the title “Home” obviously but also for how it reminds me of Sasha who’s increasingly into music and has taken to making up her own songs to […]
