Shea and I are now onto “Peaky Blinders” for our latest must-watch TV series (what’s the opposite of binging where you watch one or two episodes a night, slowly, over time?) and part of the appeal is a kick-ass soundtrack… “Down By The Water” – PJ Harvey
Ted Lasso is an unexpected hit AppleTV+ show which began as a series of promos to promote NBC Sports showing Premier League soccer. Those vignettes led to the character being developed and expanded into a 10-episode series of half-hour comedies which initially seems like a typical “fish out of water” story of an American football […]
Shea and I are hooked on “Yellowstone” right now and a big part of that is realising how many songs on the soundtrack are already part of the “Camping Faves” playlist we listen to non-stop every summer (including a few by Ryan Bingham who also stars in the show as a singing cowboy.) “Southside of […]
I’ve read a lot of articles and commentary about the attempted coup at the US Capitol a couple weeks ago but this might be my single most favourite thing to come out of it: Doubly so for this remix (don’t normally link to Instagram but hard to find it on YouTube and Twitter – maybe […]
Man, I hope the two Democrats win the Georgia run-off elections and the Democrats take control of the Senate. After the long delay to confirm Biden as President-elect, this would be the cherry-on-top of delayed results!

It was a bit delayed while the counts come in slowly over the past few days. But Tuesday night’s light show has reappeared in our living room as backdrop for a very enthusiastic dance party now that Joe Biden has been annouced as President-Elect of the United States.
Jack White absolutely kicked ass on SNL this weekend as a last-minute, emergency fill-in guest. Ironically, since he was covering for a country singer who the show cancelled for blatantly disregarding Covid restrictions, White played a mash-up of a few different songs including an old blues tune written about the pandemic of 1918… If that […]
Shea and I are finally getting around to binging a popular series that was released in 2008 and ran for seven seasons. We’re enjoying it but it doesn’t quite reach the level of some of the best shows of all-time – “Breaking Bad”, “The Wire”, “Game of Thrones” – which have similar characteristics (dark, complicated […]
The most unique, memorable NHL playoffs in history are down to the last few game(s) as the Dallas Stars and Tampa Lightning battle it out for the Stanley Cup. Some players have now spent nearly three months in their respective “bubbles” with no direct contact with families, limited options for food and entertainment, and various […]
Jim Gaffigan who is known as a pretty clean, dad-bod-type comic gets downright raunchy after a visit to <checks notes>…Regina, Saskatchewan?!?
