(Belated) Music Monday – “Abandon all reason/Avoid all eye contact/Do not react/Shoot the messengers”
I forgot to do a Music Monday post yesterday but it worked out okay because this video showed up in my News Feed today! Most people figured a new Radiohead song/album was imminent as Radiohead, already known for very unique albums releases, had done something very unique in the past few days. In our hyper-viral attention […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Prince Died A Week Ago and…
…this is all Sasha’s heard her daddy saying around the house for the past week!
Music Monday – “I only wanted to see you/Bathing in the purple rain”
I’m still on a big Prince kick after hearing the news of his passing last Thursday. I listened to Prince songs all weekend, played a bunch of his songs (poorly) on guitar, even convinced Shea to watch “Purple Rain” with me last night. (“Is this movie cheesy or was it just the 80’s?” she asked. […]
Friday Fun Link – The First Ever Performance of “Purple Rain”
Prince was against his music being available on most streaming services (except artist-friendly Tidal) and even YouTube so it’s hard to find clips to help celebrate the man and his music after his untimely passing yesterday. Still, there are spots where some clips exist online – none more historic than his first-ever live performance of […]
Music Monday – “The riots started slowly/With the homeless and the lowly/It spread into the heartland/Towns that never got a wristband.”
Paul Simon has a new album coming out and it sounds like it could be a good one… “Wristband” – Paul Simon
Music Monday – “I made something of myself and now you wanna come back/But your love—it isn’t free, it has to be earned/Back then I didn’t have anything you needed so I was worthless”
“American Idol” which has had a massive impact on pop culture ended its 15 season run last week. So I thought I would post a recent clip from the season one winner, Kelly Clarkson, who gives an amazing performance of a very personal song she wrote that contrasts her absentee father against the father of her current […]
Music Monday – “The raven is a wicked bird/His wings are black as sin.” #skpoli #skvotes #skelxn
This musician seems very appropriate for my Music Monday post today – Colter Wall who is still my favourite Wall from Swift Current! 😉 But in all seriousness, though I am not a fan of Colter’s dad’s politics, I respect that he is a masterful politician. So congrats to Premier Brad Wall for his third majority victory […]
Music Monday – “When I was a child I cried/Until my needs were satisfied/My needs have grown up pound for pound/I’ll be at peace when they let me down”
Two legends together. Interesting fact – my montage of photos from the day Pace was born, set to a Loretta Lynn song, is my most viewed YouTube video of all-time with 36,000+ views as I type this. Shea and I were also fortunate to get to see Willie Nelson live in concert while we lived […]
Music Monday – “No more lyin’/No more empty talk/Feel the bern/The bern/Feel the heat in our lives”
Pretty self-explanatory… “Feel The Bern” – Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
