This Monday (5 days hence) it’s Blue Monday. I didn’t even know this was a thing until last year. Blue Monday is a (fabricated by the Travel Industry) holiday? Day of observation? Lets go with gimmick, shall we? Blue Monday is a (fabricated by the Travel Industry) gimmick that purports that the third Monday is […]
Well, welcome to 2021, friends! In Ontario, we’re in a quarantine lockdown again. Christmas and the end of the year was quiet and slow. I’ve had a few days off earlier this week, and I’m ready to wade into 2021 in full stride. And wading totally requires some tunes, amirite?
I don’t have much in the way of an introduction (or rationale, which might be the more accurate word here, really). I was on vacation last week, and as I puttered around, a few of these songs showed up on either Sirius radio in the truck, or on my music playlist. So here you go.
I find that I retreat to the safe music of my youth when I’m feeling crispy around the edges. Between election debates and the death of Eddie Van Halen and rising Covid cases as we slide into (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend… new wave seems like a safe bet. May the turkey be be glorious and the […]
OK. There were a few bright spots in September, but srsly, it was a bit of a shitshow, amiright? But we’ve turned the calendar page, so it’s time to regroup. So get out the hairbrush you like to use as your quarantine microphone or strap on your air guitar and lets take the last quarter […]
Come, friends, join my birthday celebration with this extra throwdown. Why *you* buggin?
RBG described herself as a Belligerent Optimist. I can’t think of a better description I want to be, when I grow up. This week, RBG inspires the playlist.
There’s a fellow that I work with who grew up in the same musical soup that I did. The goth-y, new wave-y, alternative scene with a soupçon of top 40 as our dirty little secret. He’ll post a VEMO video as a smartass comment on something in one of our internal Slack channels. And that […]
These songs have nothing to do with the calendar month. As we discussed a few weeks ago, this is going to be a (mostly) “What I’m listening to this week” feature, sprinkled randomly with themes because sometimes I can’t help myself. So… September. I’m just happy that it’s finally September. Soon I’ll be wearing tights […]
Time to relax with a glass of wine and a calm mix to end the week
