| all in a day’s work | January 22, 2009 | You know it’s a special morning when you get in the car and the radio is playing the Theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. I drove along triumphantly, with a sense of adventure tinged with nostalgia for days gone by when the difference between good and evil was clear for allto see, yet safe […] |
| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 7 All the leaves are brown | January 15, 2009 | Because it’s Friday, I was going to watch listen and singalong Friday I’m in Love by the Cure. But “embedding is disabled by request” on that one so you’ll have to go looking for it by yourself if you feel so inclined. I do believe though that songs with specific days in their titles should […] |

| “Oh-Oh and you’re Mary Tyler Moore” | January 7, 2009 | Inevitable really, after yesterday’s resurrection of memories of mid 1990s geek rock that I would feed my growing Youtube addiction searching for Weezer. This song and video (directed by Spike Jonze) for Buddy Holly is one of my favourite things. Click on the link and enjoy. |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 6 Rocking out on Recovery | January 6, 2009 | What ever happened to Recovery? Weren’t the original hosts Andrew Daddo and Alex Papps. I loved watching the Henderson Kids when I was in Grade 9. Wonder what those two are up to these days? When did music videos stop holding any interest for me at all? Was it 25, 28, 32? Truly, I can’t […] |

| The New Year’s lesson from ye olde rocke musick | December 31, 2008 | Patience: Yes I know it’s the name of a Guns and Roses classic. But it is also my New Year’s resolution. Except it’s not so much of a resolution as it is a daily goal: to be more patient with myself and with others. So maybe (in spite of the stupid name for their latest […] |

| Watch, Listen and Singalong: Part 5 What Becomes of the Broken Hearted? | Joan Osborne’s version of this classic is a belter. I first saw it when I watched the outstanding documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown and was pleasantly stunned and surprised (given that I had not been a fan of previous songs of hers that I had encountered). It’s one of the few documentaries that […] |
