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”
Or if you prefer a version without drunk riggers singing along… “Oil Patch Town” – Chris Knight
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018) and Live Aid (1985) Scene Comparison
This is pretty cool!
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!
Music Monday – “I’m up after midnight, cooking/Trying to make my rent/I’m rough but I’m pleasin’/I was raised on robbery”
“Raised on Robbery” – Joni Mitchell
Music Monday – “You can set my house on fire, baby/You can turn it into cinder and smoke/’Cause this house is mighty cold and I feel like/Melting all the snow away”
The first single from Tyler Childer’s upcoming album was my most played track of the long weekend… “House Fire” – Tyler Childers
