Music Monday – “Cause if it sounds wrong on Christmas/Why does it ever sound right?”

We All Shine On…

I don’t know how long it’s been around but Bagism.com is one of the first sites I visited regularly on the Internet back in the mid to late 1990’s.  I haven’t thought of that site for years until thinking about a good way to capture today’s sad anniversary.  I’m sure it’s not what John meant […]

Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu/To be honest”

I’m planning to post a month of Music Monday Xmas tunes, starting with this great atheist-themed Christmas song originally posted by my friend Cenobyte last year on Facebook or her blog (I don’t think I ended up posting it last year but if I did, it’s worth listening to again!)

Music Monday – “Anything we have known/Anything we’ve forgotten/In the rain/In the dark/We’ll lay”

Pretty cool video made with tens of thousands of jelly beans and a lot of stop-motion photography…

Friday Fun Link – A Month In Music

Maybe this should be a Music Monday post as it’d probably fit there too. There’s a new Tumblr blog written by a guy who realised his iTunes library had 10 000+ MP3’s almost perfectly equal to a month of music?  He decided to put all of his music on shuffle for a straight month with […]

Music Monday – “Jane says/Have you seen my wig around/I feel naked without it”

I had this song cranked on the way home from Weyburn yesterday when I suddenly heard a voice from the back seat singing along…”Jaaaa-soooon!  Jaaaa-sooonn!” Pace apparently things that Perry Farrell and I are really close friends and he even wrote one of his best known songs about me! 😉

The Rise & Fall of the Columbia House Record Club — and How We Learned to Steal Music

An article about the decline of mail-order record clubs claims that it was the “12 for a $0.01” record clubs that conditioned consumers to pay little to nothing for music (and though they don’t phrase it this way, the related joy of having a large “download” of music provide (relatively) instant gratification too.) There’s probably […]

Music Monday – Occupy with Aloha

This isn’t a typical Music Monday clip but it’s pretty cool. A Hawaiian slack-key guitar musician named Makana was asked to play at the APEC Summit as background during one of their dinners.  But, being sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street cause, he wore an “Occupy with Aloha” shirt during his performance and also chose […]
