It’s been a week, a month, a year of upheaval around these parts, and today’s playlist theme has been chosen to reflect upon this. The bedroom is being renovated, the highway is being repaved, careers are being shifted, our old home is gone and a new site is taking its place.
Sometimes the trappings we surround ourselves with get dull and boring, or maybe they just aren’t working as well as they once did. When that happens it’s time for a renovation. Tear it down and build it anew. Nothing is so satisfying as looking upon your completed project and knowing you made a thing.
Here’s a little playlist to soundtrack your reconstructive impulses. What songs would you add to it?
Good morning!
Hello…
Hello
Good morning:)
This is excellent. So fitting. I look forward to listening to the playlist!
Maybe not totally in keeping with the theme but since you asked @zammy I’d add Start Again by Shred Kelly.
Good morning
For you folks in Ontario Bahamas is doing a handful of solo shows in some nice venues. Meaford!

Hello!
@Shonica – Yes! I saw that Bahamas will be here. Dan Mangen on the 18th of Aug as well.
I think Joel Plaskett is here in September.
Old Abe,
Your are lucky to have a nice venue so close to home. Great line up!

Frig! Shonica, your comment got me to look up J.P. Emerg. tour, and there’s a free concert (festival type) in Smiths Falls on August 13! May well go!
BfO,
Glad to help out.
Any playlist with Japandroids on it is OK by me. Thanks, as always, Nick!
Had one of them most amazing and emotional concert experiences of my life last night – for those who might be interested it turns out the the Hip kept back some tickets that are being released now for sale, so you can still go. I would highly recommend this even if you aren’t the biggest fan.

I hope all of you are doing badass today.
Kick A playlist so far @topofourlungs ….
My favourite part of the playlist: I had an excuse you play Building a Mystery
I got caught off guard by the Sarah McLachlan song… I thought “wait she’s not Canadian!” … oh yeah, I guess she is.
@Justin, I take it she has become part of American culture
It’s all those ASPCA commercials that she does.
@Russ, I have heard of them but I am not sure if I have seen one
One time at Band Camp….
I got to sit in a hot tub with Sarah McLachlan!
I was 15 at the time.
True story!
Damn straight, she’s Canadian!
I’d love to sit in a hot tub with Sarah McLachlan
almost weekend time.
Vacation
la la lala la
Vacation
la la lala la
I can never remember the words to that one
Contain your excitement…
gonna ring rang-a-dong for a holiday!

anyone recall another new wave-ish 80s song about a holiday? I can’t recall the band
not Madonna or the Go-gos.
thought it was the Silencers, but I was wrong
and not holiday road, either
pretty sure the band was from st paul/minneapolis, which is why I thought Silencers, but that’s just because they’re first album was A Letter from St Paul
where’d that damn tumbleweed go?
this is the curse of spending my life listening to obscure music…this is going to bug me now
HA! thank you, internet

but they’re not from MN. Australia and Germany…
Hi Blog!
shufle!
Oops, it’s been like an hour.
Dead Kennedys – Holiday In Cambodia?
So, is this a holiday in Canada?
Holy day? Colonel John By hasn’t been canonised, has he? Oh hold on, he probably wasn’t a papist…
