Music Monday – “Eight days and a clash on the number four/Three witnesses blown up high/My sentence will be done/You can call me a son for wondering why?” @colterwall @premierbradwall

Colter Wall is a Saskatchewan musician who is getting a lot of attention lately, at least in part due to a positive mention by WWE/UFC superstar, Brock Lesnar who used a Wall song in a recent promo video as well as some of his music being included on the “Dog the Bounty Hunter” show. Wall’s first album is […]

T-15: Music Monday – “Your pipeline will spill its disease/You shut down all the research libraries” #elxn42 #canpoli

You know it’s bad for Stephen Harper when even one of Canada’s most popular bands releases a song slamming your government’s record.

Music Monday – “Book flight December but I leave in May/Drugs are generic but still work the same/I get logins for Netflix from my cousin Greg/Thanks Greg!”

You know that experience when you learn a new word or buy a new vehicle or whatever and after never noticing it before, you suddenly see it everywhere? I had a recent experience except it was with a YouTube rap star.  A friend of mine in the States who’s a teacher posted a pic with […]

Music Monday – “Leaving my pennies on the track/Can’t say if I’m ever coming back”

A British guy I know (in the Facebook sense of “We’ve never met but yeah, we know each other because of our common interest in Fred Eaglesmith) who works as a tour manager for various bands posted this recently. Beautiful… “Applewood Road” – Emily Barker, Amber Rubarth and Amy Speace

Music Monday – “Who muzzles the poor scientist?/Calls troubled people “terrorists”?/Who wants the courts to just say yes?/Suppresses freedom of the press?”

The “Harperman” protest song is interesting for a number of reasons: the person who wrote and sang it is a federal civil servant and is now suspended from his job for an investigation about whether he violated the Federal Government’s employee ethics agreement At issue is whether Turner violated the code of ethics that all public servants […]
