Music Monday – “You held me down but I got up/Already brushing off the dust/You hear my voice, your hear that sound/Like thunder, gonna shake your ground”

I’m still not a huge Hillary fan for all manner of reasons but she has grown on me as the election has progressed. So, with pollsters predicting her becoming the 45th President of the United States tomorrow is somewhere between 75 – 99% inevitable, I thought I’d balance my earlier list of “10 Reasons Hillary Should […]

Tonight, You Belong To Me – The Cutest Video on the Internet?

Did I ever post this before?  So much cuteness – the dad singing with his daughter to keep her from being scared of fireworks, the daughter keeping thinking she hears them, her ragtime voice at the end, how the dad ducks behind her as the song ends so the camera focuses purely on his daughter […]

Music Monday – “Darkness falls across the land/The midnight hour is close at hand/Creatures crawl in search of blood/To terrorize your neighbourhood”

When this video debuted in 1983, I was ten years old.  I stayed up late on a Friday night to watch it with my Aunt Sandi on Good Rockin’ Tonight (which has a strange Regina connection.) I think I made it through about two minutes before I started crapping my pants and hiding my head […]

Friday Fun Link – Car Pool Karaoke with Saskatoon’s New Mayor

Saskatoon’s just defeated mayor missed the Gay Pride parade during his thirteen years in the Mayor’s Chair (no matter his personal feelings, he obviously missed the memo about representing all citizens of his city.) Anyhow, I get the impression Saskatoon’s new mayor won’t miss the parade…

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.

Music Monday – “They’re lining up the prisoners and/The guards are taking aim/I struggled with some demons/They were middle-class and tame”

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?”

Dedicated to last night’s US Presidential Debate…

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. […]
