Music Monday – “Now when she’s talking to you/Make sure you listen close/Cause she’s gonna teach everything you’ll ever need to know Like how to mind your manners to love and laugh and dream/And she’ll put you on the path/That’ll bring you back to me”

Shea’s lifelong friend, maid of honour, and guardian to Pace and Sasha, had her third baby last night. After having two boys, we were happy to hear that a baby girl, Abby, had joined their family – not least because we can pass along a bunch of clothes and other Sasha goodies to them!  😉 […]

Music Monday – “Take me to church/I’ll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies/I’ll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife “

Saw this guy on Saturday Night Live last week and he blew me away. At first, a song called “Take Me To Church” with a refrain of “Amen, amen” throughout might seem like a typical religious song. But listen to the lyrics a little closer (or just read the excerpt from the chorus I used […]

Music Monday – “Line one/Is the time/That you/You first stayed over at mine”

Here’s a set from a reunited Beautiful South at Glastonbury 2014’s “Introducing” stage (I guess being re-united qualified them?) featuring Shea’s and my first dance song at 4:30…

“I thought that music mattered. But does it bollocks? Not compared to how people matter.”

Here’s a great scene from the highly underrated British movie, “Brassed Off” which I re-watched this afternoon. (Bonus points for this speech also providing a sample for the song “Tubthumping” by anarcho-punk collective, Chumbawamba) This band behind me’ll tell you that that trophy means more to me than owt else in the whole world. But […]

Music Monday – “I watch the ripples change their size/But never leave the stream/Of warm impermanence ” @rdio #rdio

“Changes” – David Bowie Rdio, a streaming music service similar to Spotify and Pandora but which is available in Canada (at least without requiring you to use a VPN or other sorcery to appear to be an American), recently released a major upgrade to their user interface. This was the second major change since I’d […]
