Music Monday – “Let me walk/Let me go with you/I see you alone/I see you alone.”

Heard this while listening to our satellite TV’s “Tropical” station.  (No idea if the Google Translation of some lyrics in the title of this post is accurate or not.) “Déjame Acompañarte” – Omar Enrique & Elvis Crespo

Eminem Releases “Campaign Speech”, A Song About The US Presidential Election

I have enjoyed the three Presidential debates bigly. Some sharp person caught that Hillary wore a red pantsuit, a blue pantsuit and a white pantsuit in the three debates she participated in. Eminem released a song.

Friday Fun Link – Bob Dylan Wins Nobel Prize for Literature

After the announcement, some were in favour, some were against and some were  surprised. As an English major, a music fan, a librarian and someone who’s worked in and still involved with book publishing, I have absolutely no issue with this choice – mostly because it means I got to see a Nobel Laureate in concert! 😉 […]

Music Monday – “What am I gonna do?/I can’t survive on my Amerika/If the worst is true/Is it just a waste of time?”

Music Monday – “And the girls would spend a couple of bucks/Just to meet the boys working at the pumps/And they’d grow up and fall in love/And they’d all move away.”

Here’s one of the songs I taped at the Fred Eaglesmith show on Saturday night (which just happens to be one of my favourite Fred Eaglesmith songs of all-time.) “White Rose” – Fred Eaglesmith Actually, speaking of my favourite Fred songs, why not turn this post into a list? Jason’s Top 10 Fred Eaglesmith Songs 1. […]

Music Tuesday – “Going to the candidate’s debate/Laugh about it, Shout about it/When you’ve got to choose/Every way you look at it, you lose.”

I didn’t a Music Monday song yesterday since I was too excited about making a snarky Donald Trump post.  But how can I not post this? “Mrs. Robinson” – Simon & Garfunkel

Friday Fun Link – Dancing at the end of @officialRPL 50th Anniversary “Retro” Party

After originally being posted by Shea to Facebook (which means I have plausible deniablility but also that not everyone could view it since she didn’t make it public), this video has taken on a bit of legendary status. I’m getting all these cryptic e-mails from other people at RPL (and even beyond) that say “Hey, […]

One Final @RoryAllenMusic Video From The RP Anniversary Gig (And A Few Thoughts on “The King”)

I have lots of Elvis memories from growing up. When I was a kid, I used to spend hours listening to my parent’s record collection.  My dad was a big Elvis fan and passed that love of “The King” on to me via the various Elvis records he owned. I used to argue with one of […]
