Music Monday – “Get me drinking’ that moonshine/Get me higher than the grocery bill/Take my troubles to the highwall/Throw ’em in the river and get your fill”

I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was really getting into Tyler Childers – watching videos of him, reading articles about him, dreaming about taking “road” trips to see him, joining Facebook groups about him, playing his songs (badly) on guitar and listening to his music non-stop. At the time, I made a Music Monday […]

Music Monday – “The war has been incited/And guess what, you’re all invited/And you’re famous/Modernity has failed us”

Music Monday – “It’s a 24 foot long vessel/Measures 8 feet wide/It’s a 53 year-old camper/It’s made to pull behind.” (also “I can guarantee you, we were the quietest people in the Circleville Public Library” if you click through to the live version!) :-)

I’ve got a new musical obsession after really getting into Kentucky’s own Tyler Childers this past weekend… He’s got a lot of amazing songs but the one I’m featuring for “Music Monday” today, while still unreleased, caught my ear when I found it on YouTube.  See if you can guess why? (He’s also got a live […]

Music Monday – “We’d roll amongst the sweet grass lickin’ on each other/As the night replaced the day we’d bay and howl at the moon”

This song is probably my current favourite on Colter Wall’s new album and I also like that the clip I’m posting features Brad Wall’s son joking about smoking a big joint. 😉 I wont’t be blazing any icky…sticky, dank or otherwise. But thanks for thinking of me…..bud. https://t.co/lDkWL2rMeT — Brad Wall (@BradWall306) October 16, 2018 […]

How To Make A Librarian Freak Out! @last.fm @deezer

I’ve been tracking my music listening habits online via last.fm since 2005. It’s not like I look at my last.fm account daily but tonight, I realised that last.fm had stopped scrobbling (that’s the term for when any site that I listen to music on – Deezer, YouTube, etc. – sending the name of the song […]

Music Monday – “It’s not such a scary time for boys/They’ve always had the upper hand, they’ve always had a choice/It’s time for women to rise up, use our collective voice/The day to vote is Nov 6th so let’s go make some noise”

As I type this, Democrats have a 75% chance of taking the House of Representatives and a 20% chance of taking the Senate in the US midterm elections which happen in just under a month. In the wake of the Brett Kavanaugh decision, here’s hoping that women (and men who recognize the injustice that was done […]

Music Monday – “I used to drink too much/Forgot to come home/I lied to my doctor/But these days I don’t/’Cause I’m happy with you/I got lots of good things to do”

  “Happy With You” – Paul McCartney

Music Monday – “Cause here on earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left/And here on earth everything thing’s different, there’s an emptiness”

Death was a dark cloud haunting our summer in a variety of ways. In August, I lost a great aunt who lived in Weyburn at age 86. Earlier in the summer, I drove up to Warman for the funeral of one of my favourite cousins who was only in his 50’s when cancer took his life. He […]

Music Monday – “You give me love I didn’t earn/Love I’m learning that I’m worth/As it turns out, love just don’t care who we were”

Congrats to Saskatchewan’s own, Jess Moskaluke, who won the Canadian Country Music Association “Album of the Year” award last night… “Past The Past” – Jess Moskaluke

Music Monday – “Everything is better with some cows around/Living in town sometimes brings me down/Let me bestow this western blessing and share what I have found/May you always have cows around”

According to last.fm, this was my most played song of the summer. Having camped with a farming/ranching family on one side and a guy who was not only a farmer/rancher but a cattle buyer at a livestock exchange on our other side, I can understand why! 😉 “Cows Around” – Corb Lund
