First Snow of the Year

The only version of Hawksley Workman’s “First Snow of the Year” I could find on YouTube right now is copyright controlled so instead, you get a kids’ choir version (which actually adds to the winter/Christmas feel!) One question I haven’t resolved – when I do my annual “first snow of the year” post, what defines […]

Music Monday – “What’s gonna happen to you/You have woke up too soon/And found the world rearranged/And now your feelings have changed”

Shea found this one which is timely for Pace’s first day of kindergarten this week (and also for triggering tears in his very mixed emotion parents):

Music Monday – “You Just Put Your Lips Together…and Blow”

I usually put a lyric from the featured song in the title of my Music Monday posts but this one’s a little harder for obvious reasons. So instead, I’ve used a famous movie quote that’s quite fitting (so fitting, it was also referenced in a recent hit song called “Whistle“.) (via Huffington Post)

A whole bunch of sadness in convenient list form. Coincidentally, I’ve just made a playlist on Rdio called “Guaranteed Tears” where I tried to collect all of the songs that have made me cry in the past. (Sad songs list via MetaFilter)

Music Monday – Library Songs

Stumbled across this clip while doing a bit of research on what other Canadian public libraries are doing in terms of their YouTube accounts – are they putting up professionally edited and produced videos or is there a full range with people making homemade, self-edited videos with crappy sound and/or and/or bad lighting and/or comprised […]

Olympics Closing Ceremony

Well, here we are two short weeks later and the party’s over.  And everything that the opening ceremony was – a celebration of British history and culture, rebellion, anarchy, humour, literature, imperfection, solidarity – the closing ceremony wasn’t. As someone posted on Reddit’s /r/unitedkingdom thread about the closing ceremonies, “It’s like when you start playing crap […]

Roger Marin Played Regina Tonight, The Crowd Was Small But Mighty!

Tuesday night after a long weekend in a sleepy government town isn’t the easiest sell so it was a small crowd.  (“How small was it, Jason?”  Well, there was a bigger crowd when I saw Roger play in a friend’s garage in Calgary ten years ago.) But I still enjoyed the show – after a […]
