Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Of all the things I may have expected to get firmly lodged in my head this morning, I can safely say that Guy Lafleur teaching me how to score a goal to a soundtrack of disco music complete with cheerful, encouraging background vocals was not among them. And yet, here we are. In 1979, an …

I just finished listening to the Storm game. They beat Owen Sound 6-2, for the record. Woo! But that’s not important at the moment. What’s important is what happened when CJOY went back to playing music after the postgame. It wasn’t half bad, so I left it on. Then, I assume because it decided that …
I learned today that in 1980, Larry Zbyszko recorded a funky disco song called Boo On Me. I’m not going to sit here and tell you it’s great, but I expected it to be so much worse than it is. I think I might even almost like it. I miss the days when wrestlers would …
Ever since I got my CPAP machine that I call Santa Claus, I’ve been having a lot more dreams. The rush of dreams is almost as pronounced as when we got our new mattress…which is nearing the end of its days, I think. At least some of these dreams are just amusing and they aren’t …
We all love misheard lyrics, so here’s another one. I’ve been meaning to write it down since last summer when the song came on one night, I remembered the story and said “that might make a decent post.” That’s me, as on top of things as ever. One day many years ago when I was …
This one’s for Carin and my other Star Trek loving friends. Me? I have no idea who anyone is here, but I enjoyed it all the same. In the grand tradition of Star Trek captains singing holiday standards, for your consideration: “Wonderful Deep Space Nine” sung by Captain Sisko, Major Kira, Constable Odo, Lieutenant Commander …
I’ll confess. Until I listened to this, I had given exactly no seconds of thought to God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’s proper comma placement. In fact I’ve seen it written so many times without one that I wasn’t even sure one was necessary. But I also see a lot of “God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen”, …

I know we’re supposed to be done with Christmas music, but don’t even try telling me you’re not hitting play on Deck the Halls sung to the tune of War Pigs no matter what time of year it is. I’m back from part one of the Christmas vacation, and Carin should be walking in any …
If you’re looking for a little holiday music to get you into the spirit of the season, you know, just in case all the damn snow isn’t enough for you, how about a little José Van Haliano? Music used in this mashup: Jose Feliciano – Feliz Navidad Van Halen – Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love Guitar …

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIaWMybDZoc I remember being five years old and playing piano. The first song I learned had three or four notes in it and was played entirely with one hand. I didn’t get much better from there. I could pick some basic things out by ear and I stuck with piano lessons for several years, but …
