Jun. 26th, 2013 08:19 amI just realized how many Hip songs are about water, or at least dangerous weather. No official video for this song, but it was always a favourite...Phantom Power is one of my favourite Hip albums, and it was mostly about weather.
Nautical Disaster...oof, 1990s videomaking!
AND OF COURSE...New Orleans Is Sinking. I have a ton of bootleg live versions - the Hip play a great live show and I regret missing them last year the Rotary fundraiser with 54-40. The "Killer Whale Tank" version is super righteous.
Gord Downie also got the water spot in this song featuring titans of socially conscious music, Midnight Oil...love this song...

I love our mayor
Jun. 2nd, 2013 09:28 amSo, a few years ago, the unimaginable happened and it made national headlines - Calgary voted in a Muslim mayor! Shocking, because despite Alberta being home to Canada's first mosque, and an amazingly diverse population, it's easy to be characterized as a bunch of rednecks with a big mall, a big rodeo and a big oily hole in the ground. A lifetime of living under this stereotype has its effects, so I think I'm justified in feeling a little smug these days. As if we were living in some strange, parallel universe, around the same time a few years ago, Toronto voted in the oafish Rob Ford. He has constantly been in news for bad behaviour, the latest of which alleges that he was caught on video smoking crack cocaine.
But, you don't have to take my word for it, here's our mayor, doing what he does best - simply being awesome!

Budgie Circus!
Apr. 11th, 2013 09:47 pmThis video takes a while to get going, and doesn't have the best composition, but I absolutely love the budgie swing and ferris wheel. This is the first time I have watched the video full screen, and was a little sad to see that their wings were clipped...but they they seem to be having so much fun!
Art students naturally love FIM!
