Welcome to the Stream of thought playlist (as in “music stream”, get it?), where a bunch of song titles from Canadian indie bands and performers become a little story. Let your thoughts and the music flow as you read and listen to some great music from the Great White North. Enjoy!
In September, the Youngsters head back to school and that Northern Air turns cool. We could really use some warm air from that Territory…From the South to give us High Hopes that the temperature won’t drop Below zero. I suppose it is out of our Control and we should just get Underneath the covers and not Feel Shame in this. Shame might happen as talk turns to Birds & Bees and Cemetery Breeding and that is our Romantic Rights. We would talk long Into the Night until we get Xed Eyes. I will end up wanting you to be my Companion as there is nobody Quite Like You on this Dark Planet. But then the Negative Thoughts will creep in and I will have Tunnel Vision about Broken Arrows piercing my Stained Glass Heart. Yuh give me all the Feels and no Place to Hide. So instead I think I will head off with Sails of Gold to somewhere warm like Hawaii and have a Paralyzer or two and do a Somersault and just Keep on Dancing because No Worries Gonna Find Us there.

Hello

Man arrested after $3m jewellery goes missing from Drake tour bus (TMZ)
Kanye confirms Drake collaboration album (Vogue)
As the vinyl turns: Red Cat Records to open second store (Westender)
Oh, and Drake came in 4th on the Forbes’ ‘hip-hop cash kings’ list with $38.5 million (Forbes)
WTF is 3M’s worth of jewelry doing in a friggin tour bus? O.k., so I don’t know “rich”. And good morning.
I read that there’s a Drake-Rihanna merger in the works.
Good morning!
I wondered the same, Benoit.
Good morning! Looks like Gord Downie has a new project

Nifty playlist “steam of thought” (coming out of your ears…)
My 06:56 omitted “, darbar”.
Good morning everyone!
this stream of thought playlist is classic Jay aka Gobsonguitarist77 from back in the old Craig Norris Hour show, when he did Welds/Melds.
playlist story, that is.
ft indeed
which is to say, v. nice madam darbar, v nice indeed.
Great job on the Stream of Thought playlist Darbar!
I *must* copy and paste the titles of the last two tracks played on Friday Morning Cartunes:
Chromospheric Brightenings Beneath The Transequatorial Halo
Pharoah Chromium – Chromosphere (Deep Distance)
Shitting Through The Eye Of A Needle In A Haystack
Gnod – Split LP (Rocket Recordings)
Playlist is great so far @Darbs!
whenevr I see the words “Feel Shame” (by Single Mothers), I think of the opening scene from Slapshot. (the goalie is describing what happens when you take a penalty – “you go in the box and feel shame for 2 minutes then you are set free.”)
Good morning.
@darbar thanks for this playlist. 🙂 I love the “stream of thought” story and I look forward to listening this weekend.
hey, it’s Friday!
oh man, Ontario.
Temperatures of 29 degrees still. High is 16 for here today
we are currently at 19°c here
It’s a muggy, gross 33 degrees here in Virginia.
12C and overcast here in Portland… fall has arrived. It will be warmer next week, but I can def feel fall in the air… I’m excited!
Hi all. Jay did do it too but I started it. 🙂
JustinG,
re: running. Loweeda would understand as well. And you two are more hardcore than I am
I need new shoes, though. My other ones are pretty much done. Not sure about those stability ones I linked to yesterday.
I had fun making the stream of thought playlist and story. I loved themed melds and such and wanted to revisit that a little. It is a 2 hour playlist with mostly newer songs but some older ones as well.
21 here in Hockeytown.
31 is the forecast.
I tried making a YouTube playlist out of it but a lot of the songs aren’t on there yet. I replaced those with another song from that band.

It has been chilly here this week. We are at 11 C right now with a high of 18 today.
Good morning!
Nice one Darbar!
speaking of hockeytown, canada vs usa in pre-tourne action tonight! should be fun. go canada go! (but usa has dusty buff (maybe my favourite player right now) and I want him to do well but not too well.)
Tell me it ain’t so! We have a “Dusty Buff”??? What is this, a Simpsons cartoon??? American baseball???
@FT – did you watch NA v EU last night?
russ, I did not (I saw the highlights this morning though)
BfO – full name Dustin Byfuglien, star defenseman for the Winnipeg Jets (and team USA)
ft ah, I see.
Good morning!

We went to a neat event last night, a pop-up dinner on a roof top in downtown Winnipeg’s Exchange district. Who knew Jason Tait, drummer extraordinaire, is a fantastic cook and gardener. We had the most wonderful wood smoked pork tacos and corn on the cob, many of the condiments, also made by him, contained ingredients grown in his garden. So great in fact we paid for more tacos after we finished the ones that came with our tickets. I sure hope he does another one in the near future.
Hi funhug.
That sounds fantastic Shonica!
I also just received an email from WFF, Shred Kelly are coming to the Park Theatre November 3 Woo hoo!
Here’s a little article about how great Regina Folk Fest is. http://farandwide.much.com/is-canadas-last-true-folk-festival-in-regina/
Here, you beer maniacs. They’ve analysed beer (etc.) yeasts.

Shonica – that sounds awesome!
@funhug, Was that before we switched to self hosting? (I inserted the image for you)
Thanks for the playlist Darbs! I miss Craig and those song stories on Radio 3.
Firefox and Spotify don’t play nicely together. I have to use Chrome to get it to open the playlist in Spotify.
A lot of fake italics in the post (no one’s fault). I need to do some more work on this site’s typography. When I have a bucket of time. Or even a cup of time. Or a Round Tuit.
@Touchy Typophile, I would lend you mine but I only have one of the square ones, sorry
I have to run, catch up with you all later.
Garfileduk – Must’ve been
listening but not visiting today … it is sunny!
@darbar thanks for the tuneage to go with the rays 🙂
Yes the italics thing. I had put the song titles in bold and italics and then the whole thing got put in italics. A bit wonky.
I hope you enjoy the playlist. I know it is all music I like but there must be a few other people that have similar taste right? Right? hehe
darbar, I don’t have spotify but most of the bands on your playlst I like, so in my mind, I am enjoying your playlisat!
😉
I posted the youtube playlist link up there.
At 08:07
@FT, You only need the free (ad supported) version of spotify
I find the Spotify ads only mildly annoying. Not annoying enough for me to pay them money yet.
I paid when they offered me 3 months for £1, then I cancelled it
I love it when Spotify blasts me with an ad for some top 40 stream when I clearly don’t listen to that stuff.
But yeah, only mildly annoying most of the time.
I don’t mind the ads on Spotify, but I am annoyed when I listen using the app and it always shuffles the playlist
oh I’m aware, I used to have spotify but i deleted it. It’s all good.
Oh yeah, I did not like the app on my phone in the unpaid version. I am usually listening to it on my computer.
I have it on my computer at home, but the site is blocked on my work computer, so I thought I would try the app. Your playlist will have to wait until I’m home this evening for a listen.
Yort dislikes the free app on her phone.
Yo @Krib, you’d appreciate this, I’m running in a set of Altra Olympus 2’s. Nice ride! https://www.altrarunning.com/men/olympus-20
36 mm stack height? wow! that’s some crazy cushioning
I’m thinkin’ my next Altras will be these
https://www.altrarunning.com/men/one-25-neutral-running-shoe
only a few of those Altra shoes are available up here.
I enjoyed Aidan Knights Story from the Stage that played on my R3 stream.
Darbar,
heavy emphasis on lack of beer lines. You only have to go to a different festival *cough*Edmonton*cough* to understand how great Regina is. Can’t stand down front. Hour wait to get into the beer tent, which is so far away you wouldn’t even know you were at a music festival…
Just hit play on your list DarbarSpecial! thanks!
okay, more than just a few of those Altras are available here.
the Altra Canada site shows the model and then you select colour when you click on it.
the US site just barfs them all out individually, making it look like there are more than there are
Enjoy funhug!
@krib – The size of RFF is nice and the front stage standing area is brilliant! I like being able to go grab a beer quick and take it closer to the stage.
*I typed all this once already and didn’t copy and it lost it. Trying again.
It worked.
There is a song on my stream right now called Dimitri by Barrdo. I tried looking it up on Spotify and found a song called The Bardo by Dimitri’s Ascent. Whoa…kind of freaky.
and the free workshop stages during the daytime, too. It’s only the main stage that you have to pay for
but yeah, standing down front with a beer in your hand? priceless…
Ness is all right, too. It’s smaller than RFF and you can stand in front, too. You have to go to a beer garden to drink, or drink anything explicitly labelled. They check bags when you come in, but they don’t check water bottles.
But the beer garden is set up so you can see the stage.
I think it helps that at any given time, only about half the attendees are out watching the music. the rest are a drum circles, or at their campsites, or whatever.
Gateway has a different set up again but also works pretty well. Small festival with 2 stages. While they are taking down and setting up on one stage, you turn your chair and watch the other stage. One side of main stage is the drinking side and the other non-drinking. It can be a bit strange at times but it works.
I’m headed out now, but happy weekend everyone!
Have a good one Janet!
so you have to decide which stage you want to be closer to when you set your chair down.
I wondered what the 2 stage thing was all about when I looked at their schedules
did you go this year, darbar?
Hey @krib… if you need me to get a set of Altra’s in the US to ship your way let me know.
You can see both stages from both sides, but the 2nd stage is farther away if you are on the non-drinking side. Halfway between the stages on the drinking side is perfect for just rotating the chair and then you can get up and stand in front for the ones you want. Sadly, I didn’t make it there this year. Life and stuff and a wedding kept me away.
@krib… I’m rehabbing an injury so the cushion is nice to have. I like the wide toebox. The Altra’s are stiff enough though, not like Hoka’s which is like running on marshmallows, not a Hoka fan.
never run in Hoka’s before. They make me think of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoskJPDbXR0
@Krib… Hoka’s are not too far off that…. Seinfeld… awesome.
don’t they also have a crazy heel drop? I’m into flat.
I also like Merrell Bare Access, but they only have a 13 mm stack height, so minimal cushioning
@krib… I’ve been eyeballing Topo’s as well. Some are around 3mm drop, this pair is 0 drop. Topo’s also have a wide toebox like Altra’s do.

Thanks for reading and listening everybody. Have a great weekend!
Have a kick A weekend @Darbs!
