Friday Fun Link – Trump Sings Ariana Grande

This is pretty funny… …though, to be fair, Obama also got the same treatment:

Music Monday – “If we were vampires and death was a joke/We’d go out on the sidewalk and smoke/And laugh at all the lovers and their plans/I wouldn’t feel the need to hold your hand”

A lot of my music-loving friends had posted something about this song but I’m embarrassed to admit I didn’t even give it a listen because I thought the title was terrible and reminded me of “Twilight” or something. But I finally gave it a chance and boy, was I wrong. Probably one of the most […]

Friday Fun Link – Captain Connor Rap

I’m going to tag this as “Music” but that’s probably stretching the definition somewhat. 😉

Comparing Some Swedish Guy’s 7 Year (7000 Hour) Guitar Progress To My Own 22 (!) Year, Didn’t Count The Hours Guitar Journey

I bought my first guitar after coming back from a University exchange to England in 1995. It cost me $60 and I still have it. It’s an El Degas model which is Spanish for “cheap crap”. 🙂 (Wow, Google tells me these guitars were actually made in Japan and mostly exported to Canada in the […]

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 […]
