It’s that time of year! Summer holidays are over and it’s time to head back to school. That is the theme of the playlist this week. Let me be your teacher and take you through the curriculum laid out in the playlist. You may call me Ms. Barss.
Tracks 1 to 5: Introduce songs about September and explore the feeling of missing friends.
Tracks 6 to 9: We are ready to start at a private school or some house of lost words because it is a human right.
Tracks 10 to 15: It may seem like school is where the wild things are but it will be good to be back among friends, students and mentors.
Tracks 16 to 18: If we learn & burn or not we’ll find out. At least when I learned your name I knew we were making progress.
Tracks 19 to 21: We will discuss bookish things such as if holy books belong in the book club.
Track 22: LUNCH BREAK – Enjoy some Pop N Chips!
Track 23 to 24: Explore the hallways and make sure your locker has a lock and key of some sort.
Track 25 to 30: We are back at it with our paper and pencils.
Track 31 to 34: When you write your master’s thesis you won’t have someone there to write it all down for you so you will have to learn how to work out words and understand your lessons.
Track 35 to 41: We discuss our regular classes of science, math, history, geography and art.
Track 42 to 43: Is the time to daydream and figure out how you are gonna make it through the year.
It’s a pretty full curriculum we have but it should be a fun one! It seems Corb Lund has lots to contribute to it but there are a lot of other voices to be heard. Let’s get started!
Hello
Good day. Query: Given how ‘school’ and ‘Schenectady’ are pronounced — ‘sk’ — why should ‘schedule’ be pronounced à la British, i.e. ‘sh’?
Hello hello!
I pronounce it skedule
School
Old English scōl, scolu, via Latin from Greek skholē ‘leisure, philosophy, lecture place’, reinforced in Middle English by Old French escole .
Schedule
late Middle English (in the sense ‘scroll, explanatory note, appendix’): from Old French cedule, from late Latin schedula ‘slip of paper’, diminutive of scheda, from Greek skhedē ‘papyrus leaf’. The verb dates from the mid 19th century.

I also pronounce it skedule.
Well, thanks for the revealing etymological explanations!
Good morning, Ms. Barss.
Sorry I’m late, the dog ate my car.
Shit man, train your dog, it’s supposed to be your homework…
The dog was hungry and we don’t have any homework yet
I have updated the Spotify playlists on yesterdays post so that they now contain full albums
Haha Russ! Make sure to not let it happen again!
The dog would have to eat Yort’s car next time
Good morning folks.
Cool playlist to be shared with the teen when she returns home victorious after week 1 being completed.
Where are the songs for the parents who hate getting up and being helpful and cheery in the morning?

I was happy to hear from Reginula and Chopz yesterday. Making sure they were both safe after mother nature has been having at their respective homes.
It reminded me of the days of our R3 blogging and keeping in touch with friends effected by flooding etc.
Ha morgana! I had forgotten those days.
It is work indeed and I feel like I need a holiday all ready … but wait I work this weekend:/
I treated myself to a ticket to The Deep Dark Woods yesterday. The show is in October but I like to prolong the enjoyment.
I am trying to find a way to get to see The Royal Foundry but they are playing in Rossland so that is unlikely.
Thoughts on the latest offering from Elliot Brood?

Music and the anticipation of live music shows can keep a person going. I am finally going to see Royal Canoe again tomorrow night! Woohoo!!
I will have to give Elliott Brood album a listen. There will be a lot of new music to listen to in the next couple months!
The Belle Game’s new album is out today as well.

I’d like to check out the Elliott Brood, but I believe it might be geo-blocked for me. Guess I’ll have to be patient!
I have seen Royal Canoe once and really enjoyed them both as entertainers and musicians. They were the opening act. It was one of those times when I hated the unspoken rule of opening acts never doing an encore.
@Janet, Elliott BROOD is working here
Last fall Elliot Brood performed a bunch of material on the new album here, one of those “an evening with” events. The first long set was the new material they were trying out with the crowd and the second set was old favourites.
I enjoyed the new stuff and am glad to be able to hear the recorded versions now. I kept expecting a hook and some get up and go but it is all pretty mellow.
You know what, there are some hooks in there but the get up and go just got up and left in my mind. Not as successful on the catchiness aspect as previous efforts in my mind.
Oh right, Belle Game is today!
Thanks for the reminder @darbar.
@Garf, hmmm, must be user error then 🙂 That’s good news, I’ll have to try again.
I will add the Belle Game release under “What we Missed” later in the day (or tomorrow)
@janet I am always getting user error messages and i am in canada … but that is just me:)
@garfielduk thanks for keeping us so organized!
I must shift gears away from typing to making a seafood stew for dinner tonight.
Ears on but hands busy!
Love the music chat! I admit I have been a little meh on Elliott Brood for a bit now. I still enjoy them but like the older stuff more.
There is so much music to keep up with! We are bound to miss one here and there.
Good morning everyone!
Hi Justin!
Hi Justin
I have added The Belle Game to yesterdays post, even though I can’t get it to play here 🙁
Let me know if I have missed any others
After a couple of relatively dry weeks, this first week of September seems like a big one for Canadian music.
I think the next couple months will be packed with new Cdn Indie music!
Here’s another one. Peter Katz.

And Pierre Kwenders! I discovered him from a previous Polaris.
http://play.spotify.com/album/1kw8OF0oYFaWhy8QETmHZO
And Laura Sauvage! So much music!!
http://play.spotify.com/album/1u2kXydTPiUgHIuh5hF2l2
All three of those are new to me, I’ll have to spend the weekend checking them out!
oh, its christmas early here! look at those clickable goodies!!
i will have to wait to open the gifts though. the seafood stew needs crusty bread …
I just came back to say that I like how Spotify is thinking today; it took me from belle game to andy shauf
Morgana, I want to come to your house for supper!
Nice morgana!
Me too Janet!!
I am being asked about house concerts again so if that happens i will let you all know when to come and we will eat and groove together:)
Doesn’t that sound fantastic? Yes yes it does.
It sure does!
speaking of which, has anyone had any experience with hosting
https://podio.com/webforms/18659562/1255617
I have not but I am excited you are doing this! It is in my dreams to be able to host one day.
I have had a few false starts but the idea has lingered.
I have to add some railing to stairs so I am covered by my insurance and I also prefer to have outside shows so probably nothing until next year …
OK, erranding I go.
See you all next week:)
I’ve only heard about it, but I’m excited to hear about all your adventures doing it, after railings are added and stuff 🙂
Have a great weekend morgana!
I’m out too! Have a great weekend, Darbar!
You too Janet!
I am back
Welcome back
ty
I am leaving now. I may or may not be back. Have a fabulous weekend!

g’night lurkers, stay safe and have a great weekend
Awesome playlist darbar!
