Jimmy Fallon is getting all the viral love for his Tonight Show clips while David Letterman (who would’ve likely been a viral star if YouTube had been around in his early days) is doing things in a more traditional way and not aiming for online buzz like his younger counterparts – Jimmys Fallon and Kimmel. But […]

Music Monday – “How I wonder where you are”
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” as a history of recorded music… “Twinkle Twinkle” – Scott Brandlee
Music Monday – “Mother/You had me/But I never had you/I wanted you so bad/You didn’t want me.”
John Lennon’s raw, heartbreaking lament about accepting the abandonment and early loss of his mother as well as his absentee father. Uhm, Happy Mother’s Day? “Mother” – John Lennon
“Voices of Nature” at Dr. Hanna School
For the past few weeks, Pace has been getting increasingly excited about a concert that he’d been preparing for at his school. Shea and I had received some info from the school but hadn’t realised what a big deal it was until recently – that his school was the only one in all of Saskatchewan to […]
Music Monday – “Christians have their hymns and pages/Hava nagila’s for the Jews/Baptists have the Rock of Ages/Atheists just sing the blues”
A co-worker sent me this knowing I’d get a kick out of it… “Atheists Don’t Have No Songs” – Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers

Coldplay Sends Fans on Quest to Find Hidden Lyrics in Libraries
No matter what you think of Coldplay, this is a pretty cool idea that might promote libraries to some folks who otherwise wouldn’t come through our doors (although as one librarian quipped, “I hope they make a donation to help cover the costs of a bunch of crazed fans ripping the stacks apart!”)
Music Monday – “So don’t treat me like a puppet on a string/’Cause I know how to do my thing/Don’t talk to me as if you think I’m dumb/I wanna know when you’re gonna come”
“Waiting in Vain” – Bob Marley
Music Monday – “C’mon, C’mon”
Here’s a clip of the band we went to see last Friday night. The name of the song isn’t given and I feel like my 17 year old self listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” trying to make out the lyrics so you only get the most basic of lyric excerpts as the title of […]
Saturday Snap – “Who Needs A God When You’ve Got Satan”
There’s a certain level of irony that I spent part of my Good Friday watching a band from just behind a guy who was wearing a “Who Needs God When You’ve Got Satan” t-shirt. 😉 But I should probably back up a bit… Shea and I spent Friday doing a bunch of spring cleaning […]
