With apologies to Leonard Cohen, this is easily the sweetest love song about the end of the world ever. Or if that’s not your speed, how about a 200 love song YouTube playlist? Happy Valentine’s Day!

Music Monday – “What so proudly we watched/At the twilight’s last gleaming”
The Superbowl is always one of the most watched TV events of the year so most people probably saw this live yesterday or have heard about it by now. So you probably also know that Christina Aguilera screwed up the words to the US national anthem before the game. What you might not know is […]
Saturday Snap – RSO at RPL
Believe it or not, RPL offers ~5000 programs a year. This was one of the best (and most successful) I’ve been to, popping down during my lunch hour last week:
Music Monday – ChatRoulette Meets Open Mic Nights?
Occasionally I do a search for some of my favourite bands on YouTube, limited by “Date Uploaded” to see if there are any new clips from their recent concerts. A recent search for “Hawksley Workman” didn’t lead to any clips of him specifically but did lead to a couple recent covers. One was tagged “Me […]

And Now I’ll Explode Your Cute-O-Meter…
Usually I’d save a video like this for Music Monday. But it’s too cute (and going viral too fast!) to save it for next week. Enjoy!
Music Monday – “DA;LKJFWQ-E9UFE;LKJF;DLKJDA,M”
I’d bookmarked this clip of all of Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits played at once as something that would make a humourous Music Monday post someday. Revisiting it, I realise it also does a great job of replicating the way that my head feels right now I hate being sick…
Music Monday – “You look like an angel/Your skin makes me cry”
I recently discovered a sub-Reddit that could give me Music Monday material for years to come. r/coversongs is exactly as it says – links to various cover versions of songs done by well-known and unknown performers. Here’s one of my favourite covers that I’ve come across so far… …which you can contrast with the following […]
