Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: November 2014

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Saturday, November 1, 2014. This post is not inspired by a song, but by that former CBC radio host. Safe, surrounded by good friends with kind hearts. And the people who ran and tended the bar, I felt, were looking out for us. I crashed on their couch. Also, not notably unusual behaviour. 8221; The sounds stopped for a moment, and then filled the silence again. I got the hell out of there. I got home in a daze and I told my roommate abou...

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: June 2011

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Sunday, June 26, 2011. It was an incredibly optimistic thing to do, and it came out of my decision to develop a more optimistic outlook, more generally. Jim, Steven, and Richard are great musicians, and they sound so together, but seeing them live, you also get to see how much they are enjoying playing together. They have so much fun! Dust - The Sorrys. The greatest lie that you ever told was in your laughing out loud. The greatest pain ...

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: September 2010

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Saturday, September 25, 2010. Tanya Davis has been getting a lot of attention lately, and this makes me very happy. The Andrea Dorfman-directed video for her poem, “How to be Alone” has been everywhere on the internet, and viewed/heard and enjoyed by bigshots like Roger freakin’ Ebert, even! It is hard to pick, but I picked gorgeous morning, for “It wasn’t worth those happy breakfasts that I missed.” Truth. Gorgeous Morning - Tanya Davis.

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: July 2009
http://blinkinglightsandotherrevelations.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Joel Plaskett is a pretty flawed songwriter. He's written lyrics that make me blush, cringe, and shake my head. He needs an editor. His friends should have told him about how lame it is to rhyme "extraordinary" with "ordinary," and not to have included this couplet in the chorus of one of his songs. One of his biggest hits, as it would turn out. It's not even a rhyme. When it's the same word! Or maybe I'm not tha...

The Low-Fi Lab Gets Tucked. The Low-Fi Lab makes its record release debut on the new. The song ‘Hello, Prince Edward Island’ was posted here last year (with the title ‘Compass News Blues’) after Al joined me for a Lefurgey House gig in Summerside (more details about the gig and song.

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: Sun in an Empty Room
http://blinkinglightsandotherrevelations.blogspot.com/2015/01/sun-in-empty-room.html
Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Friday, January 2, 2015. Sun in an Empty Room. I wasn't conscious of what building a life really meant when I moved to Halifax, either the first time, in 1997, or the second time, in 2001. I experienced Halifax as authentic and freeing and creative and wild and beautiful and kind and these were the things that mattered to me when I was in my early- to mid-twenties. Didn't start drinking as soon as I woke up. I remember setting limits for...

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations: Thunder Road
http://blinkinglightsandotherrevelations.blogspot.com/2012/09/thunder-road.html
Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Saturday, September 1, 2012. Following Bruce Springsteen's phenomenal 3 and a half hour performance last week-end, I sat in a backyard in southern Etobicoke, with somebody who has surprisingly become- remained? One of my closest friends. Richard nursed a beer and I, a cola. We smoked cigarettes in the dark and enjoyed the refreshingly cool summer night while his wife and son slept soundly inside. Seeing Bruce Springsteen was a dream come...

Blinking Lights and Other Revelations. Some words about some songs. Thursday, January 21, 2010. Who the hell are the Howl Brothers? And that The Howl Brothers actually were Rheostatics, and that this song was to be included in the upcoming film, Whale Music. T-shirt. After a little investigation I learned this was the name of a Rheostatics album. And it's because of Tyler Stewart that I found myself at Sam's on Yonge street purchasing a copy of their brand new album, Whale Music. Several years ago Rheost...
