Music Monday – “I’ve been drinkin’ to remember and drinkin’ to forget/I got “I love you” on my mind, I got Jim Beam on my breath”

  I posted a Cody Jinks song before I went on holidays so why not post another Jinks’ song since it was in the top three of my most listened to songs over the past couple weeks (with the other two – “Cumberland Gap” by Jason Isbell and “Tear Stained Eye” by Son Volt both […]

Music Monday – “Raising hell with the hippies and the cowboys/They don’t care about no trends/They don’t care about songs that sell”

When we’re camping in Weyburn I can’t help but think how I’m basically the hippie surrounded by a big herd of cowboys. But the point of this song stands – people who seem to be opposites can still get along if they see their commonality in defining their own tastes without giving in to trends […]

(Belated) Saturday Snap – Disappointed I Didn’t Win The Canada Day Contest This Year

I can’t find a reference to it on my blog which is sort of surprising since I’ll take any validation I can get! But anyhow, last year, the campground we have a seasonal site had a Canada Day decorating contest and since we were new and wanted to make a good impression, we went all […]

(Belated) Music Monday – “He’s acting tough and taking names/And shuttin’ us down/But at least we got something to talk about/When Monday rolls around”

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!”

When did I get into banjo music?!? Isn’t it music for inbred rednecks? 😉 “Banjo Odyssey” – The Dead South from Regina, Saskatchewan (who took some criticism for playing with those banjo/inbreeder stereotypes and issued an explanation in response)

Friday Fun Link – The Mighty Mighty Bosstones “The Impression That I Get” (Except The Genre Changes Every 15 Seconds)

This is pretty cool, not least for how it features some pretty unique genres compared to most of the “same song in a range of genres” videos that usually do variations of fairly mainstream rock -> country -> jazz -> folk styles. (via MetaFilter) And here’s the original for the record…

The Craziest Edit in Beatles History

I’ve got a mini-Beatles/music theme going on the past couple days (so much so that when I looked at my post about the Mi’kmaq version of “Blackbird” yesterday, I thought it *was* my Music Monday post and I’d somehow missed posting on Tuesday!) Anyhow, to keep the theme going, here’s a YouTube video about one […]

“Blackbird” by The Beatles sung in Mi’kmaq

This is a very cool cover by a Cape Breton teen that even got a shout-out from Macca himself!
