Note: From now on I am linking to videos instead of embedding them. I am not taking any chances with copyright. ABBA has a Tik Tok. https://www.flickr.com/photos/schnappi/31093270122/ The short-video, social media platform comes on and off my phone. The cat videos lure me in and one night while making myself put away the phone to … Continue reading Music Monday: ABBA

Music Monday: F**k You by Lily Allen
https://youtu.be/RAkSkMRwPYs Take 2: Instead of the official video, let's try a lyric one This track, and its artist, criss-crosses reference points in my life. Let's start with Lilly Allen's husband, David Harbour. He's Sherrif Hopper on 'Stranger Things' among other things I have seen him in. He's a good actor and I saw him in … Continue reading Music Monday: F**k You by Lily Allen
Music Monday: Sæglópur by Sigur Ros
https://youtu.be/TFHCWZh0_Co I got the heck out of dodge. By dodge, I mean 'Winnipeg' for a short gateaway. Technicially, I needed to stay home for 14 days to make the vaccine gain full immunity. In the end, I wanted to get out and have some time away from my condo, away from the city, and return … Continue reading Music Monday: Sæglópur by Sigur Ros
Music Monday: Current Favourites
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EpvcuwnMylxTs?si=55a0688562ad4ba7 I will listen to a song a repeat during a task. The lyrics may inspire me during a task, the music turns off a the monkey-chatter part of my brain to help me focus, or I want to dance out an emotion. Having a monthly subscription to Spotify proved a smart investment since I … Continue reading Music Monday: Current Favourites

#MusicMonday: Epiphany by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
https://youtu.be/zNXY1av-NUE I decided to continue with a theme from one earlier post and highlight one of the many beautiful musical tracks from Pixar's latest movie 'Soul.' While portions of it had me going 'uh?' this movie took big risks to talk about a big theme: What is the meaning of our own lives? It's visually … Continue reading #MusicMonday: Epiphany by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
Music Monday: 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton)
As library staff worked from home, a call went out for 1-2 people to work 9-5 and cover a time gap for our online chat service. My sleep was already crappy making my 7:30-3:30 shift not a good fit for working from from home. I volunteered for the sake of my mental health. I immediately … Continue reading Music Monday: 9 to 5 (Dolly Parton)
Music Monday: My 70’s Mixtape (Or Fatima’s Awesome Mix Vol 1)
As a kid, I grew up surrounded by LPs and 45s. My brother came of age in the 70's and we had one of those stereo systems that double as living room furniture. (Click here for an example.) I spent hours spinning records, repeating my favourite 45s from his collection. Sometimes it's the K-Tel collections … Continue reading Music Monday: My 70’s Mixtape (Or Fatima’s Awesome Mix Vol 1)
Music Monday: Portals By Alan Silvestri
Over the weekend I watched 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' The tone and mood of the movies matched what's going on in my life. Last week, my campus had a study break to enable staff, and students, to prepare for online learning. I scrambled to brush on WebEx, a meeting software provided by the … Continue reading Music Monday: Portals By Alan Silvestri
