I enjoy travel, sports, music and anything else that jumps up at me for the moment, which is why I blog. There will be lots of travel posts, pictures and our videos as well as a smattering of sports and humor. I enjoy promoting Canada and am unabashedly a proud Albertan

  • Song Of The Day – Serena Ryder – For You

      Heard this on CBC2 today during an interview she was doing and had to post it.  Serena Ryder is the next big thing.  The vocals on this are amazing, almost Adele, yet different, kind of like Aretha, yet different, and a dash of Amy Winehouse.  This is the exact performance I heard.  Sit back…

  • Random Songs From My Phone – Cookie Duster – “Two Feet Stand Up”

    A little surprised this one was on my iPhone (Lori???) (free Single of the Week??).  No matter, I must be true to the random generator.  This upbeat pop tune comes from Cookie Duster.  The Canadian group formed in the late 1990’s, but went on hiatus when Brendan Canning‘s other group, Broken Social Scene, took off. …

  • Random Songs From My Phone – Feist – “I Feel It All”

      In case you hadn’t noticed, my iPhone is full of Canadian artists and Feist is one of them. Calgary‘s own Leslie Feist had a major hit back in 2007 with her album “The Reminder“.  It contained her major hit “1234” which had a life of its own after being used in an Apple iPod…

  • Song Of The Day – Imaginary Cities – Hummingbird

    A quick song for you from a band out my home town, Winnipeg.  The song. Hummingbird, the group, Imaginary Cities.  The video, kind of cool.  Speaking of the peg, will be out there again this weekend so some slow blogging once again.  And an apology to people I normally drop in on, just to bloody…

  • Song Of The Day – The Weakerthans – “One Great City”

      A Winnipeger is allowed to speak of Winnipeg in whatever way one wants to.  This song, “One Great City”, by Winnipeg band The Weakerthans, is literally a love/hate song of our mutual home town.  The band formed in 1997.  They are an Alt band with some punk roots.  This song is both melodic and…

  • Song Of The Day – Luke Nicholson – “Just Fell Down”

    Canadian Luke Nicholson released his new album “Mad Love” in late 2012.  “Just Fell Down” is a recent release off the record.  As seems to be the norm for me, I just heard this on CBC2 this morning and couldn’t wait to post it for you.  He has been playing and recording for 15 years…

  • Song Of The Day – Scooby Snacks – Fun Loving Criminals

    Just for fun, Scooby Snacks.  NYC band Fun Lovin’ Criminals had some success a few years back with this song.  Catchy chorus.

  • Song Of The Day – Here We Go Magic – How Do I Know

      Nice song by Brooklyn based Here We Go Magic.  The song, “How Do I Know” was released off their “Different Ships” album from 2012 on the “Secretly Canadian” label.  Enjoy.    

  • My Favourite Songs of 2012 – Part 2

    This is Part 2 of my list. These songs are the ones that I will remember most from this year.  It certainly appears that the world of music is beginning its move away from the pop artists that have been so prevalent and returning to the creation and production of some exceptional songs.  About time…

  • Song Of The Day – Cut Copy – "Where I'm Going"

    Australian band, Cut Copy, released this song in 2010 and is from their album “Zonoscope”.  Great song, kind of a 21st century Beach Boys thing.
