Monday Morning Music
I found this video last week when I was browsing one of Visible + Real’s Weekend Treats posts. She found it at Trust Tending. The band is Walk Off the Earth, a Canadian indie band, and the song is “Gang of Rhythm.” A nice, upbeat tune for this Monday morning. I hope you like it, […]

Monday Morning Music
150th post! Yay! Okay, I’ll admit right up front, this isn’t one of my favorite songs on the new Frank Turner album, which, in general, is pretty damned good. But the video for it is quite nice, unexpected, and dilutes a bit of the sappiness of the tune. Or maybe it doesn’t. I just like […]

Things to Look Forward To
Given how half-assed I usually am about this blog, it impresses me that I actually have blog things planned. Scheduled even. The usual stuff, you know, like Monday Morning Music. The big surprise there is I even have next week’s video picked. That just doesn’t happen. So, there’s that. There are also book-related blog things […]

Monday Morning Music
JanelleMonáe always makes interesting videos to go with her music, and I really dig this new one. Here she is with Erykah Badu and “Q.U.E.E.N.” “Even if it makes others uncomfortable, I will love who I am.” is one of my favorite lyrics from the song.

Weekly Linkroll
Looks like we’re going to combine a couple weeks of links here, considering I haven’t been keeping up with blog business lately. There’s been gardening, writing, and general enjoying of spring, so it’s not like I’ve been goofing off. Much. Book Review: Winter Well: Speculative Novellas About Older Women First, a little self-promotion. My next [...]

Monday Morning Music
Today’s video is a result of the pondering I’m in the midst of. I’m working on a punk mix cd for a friend, which has been fun, partly because I’m realizing how many more punk cds I actually need. The Ramones, the Clash, and X–I’m pretty well covered, but why don’t I own any Black [...]
