yeah, with one or two exceptions, this week’s been the perfect storm of crappiness…at least my random ten doesn’t completely suck: “personal jesus” – johnny cash “wampum prayer” – tori amos “dirty eyes (sex don’t sell)” – ravionettes “go” – the replacements “head over heels” – the go gos “soak up the sun” – sheryl […]

This week’s random ten grew to twice it’s normal size before I noticed, because it seems that the music (even the emo stuff) calms the savage baby…Catherine woke us up really early this morning with the screaming, but once I popped the music on and started typing out titles (one handed, because I was holding […]

Yeah, I missed last week. I was busy. And being off like this, I keep forgetting what day it is. It’s kind of liberating. Anyway, since it’s basically the end of summer, this list might be the soundtrack for the first hour of my Labor Day barbeque, were I to actually have one. I always […]

One of the benefits/drawbacks of broadband internet is the fact that you can get completely freakin’ lost clicking link after link on youtube. Follow a link to a kitten video on cute overload, and before you know it, you’ve killed forty minutes watching japanese toy commercials from twenty years ago. You know, I can’t even […]

Reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated. I haven’t posted much this week, as, unsurpringly, we’ve been busy getting used to the new addition to the family, and I’ve been spending a great deal of my not playing with the baby time at one of the hotels down the road for some work-sponsored training (second […]

Is it Friday? Yeah I guess it is. I didn’t notice, what with all the excitement around here the last couple of days. Still, that little clock up in the corner of the screen says so, so it must be true. What that means, of course, is that I take a few minutes to post […]

yeah,  it’s been two weeks.  So what. You know the drill – set your digital music player of choice on shuffle, take note of the first ten tunes out of the box, post ’em for all to see: “What Kind of Fool” – Syn D’Cats “The Box” – The Clarks “Out of the Blue” – […]

I can’t come up with anything that feels like a theme or a common thread here, but then, that’s why it’s called random, isn’t it? “You Are Alright” – Akitaka Tohyama “Counting Blue Cars” – Dishwalla “Your Racist Friend” – TMBG “Armageddon It” – Def Leppard “Princes of the Universe” – Queen “A Sorta Fairy […]

“Under the “Commercial Radio Policy, 35 per cent of all music aired each week on all AM and FM stations must be Canadian. In addition, 35 per cent of music broadcast between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Monday through Friday must consist of Canadian content.” In the MAPL spirit, my ipod presents this week’s random […]

It’s pretty ubiquitious, so I shouldn’t need to explain it, but I will: Grab your digital music player of choice, hit shuffle, take note of the first ten songs that play, post ’em to your blog. Angeline is Coming Home (live) – The Badlees Kings of Metal – Manowar Buddy Holly – Barenaked Ladies The […]
