LUKA – What Kind of Animal
What Kind of Animal, the latest from Toronto’s LUKA, comes with a suggestion from the mind behind it all, Luke Kuplowsky: “The record is a slow burn, and in my opinion, ideal for a late night or early morning walk.” Kuplowsky is right; though the album boils slow like water in the kettle, the end result will soothe as much as that cup of tea with honey.(Exclaim!)
Neil Young & Promise of the Real – The Visitor
Rage takes many forms in the new songs of Neil Young. If, by chance, you don’t connect with the relatively even-tempered opening track “Already Great,” which celebrates the United States as “the promised land” and “the helping hand,” perhaps something in the key of caustic sarcasm suits you better? That would be track two, and the bone-rattling, inspired-by-Funkadelic groove “Fly By Night Deal.” On it, Young alternates between the role of a pipeline project manager barking orders like “Move those animals out of here” and an outraged citizen who screams “No more” and laments “no one sees what’s getting lost.”(NPR)
Roy Wood$ – Say Less
Just 21 years old, Roy Wood$ has accomplished more in the span of two years than most people do in a lifetime. Born Denzel Spencer in Brampton, Ontario, Wood$ first caught the attention of award-winning rapper Drake in 2015, going on to be signed to the OVO SOUND label and debuting his first single “Drama” featuring Drake on OVO SOUND Radio in July of 2015. Wood$’ second single “Get You Good” was also premiered on OVO SOUND Radio in late summer of 2015, right ahead of his debut EP Exis, which peaked at #10 on the U.S. R&B Billboard Charts.(Broadway World)
hello
Good morning!
Good morning!
Greetings and salutations!
janet: Yeah, you say that, and then it’s a dayful of meetings… smilie
Benoit – true story! That was definitely my day yesterday!
I was going to leave the house today but when I saw there was almost 2 inches on snow on the ground I decided I didn’t need to go anywhere that much.
I was like to use this statement to apply for official Torontonian status please.
Now you see, Garf, I have the opposite reaction: if there’s a couple of inches of snow and I haven’t been cycling, I make a point of going for a walk: it’s quiet and muffled, the air is very clean, and it’s pretty.
if I want to go almost anywhere I have to walk down a steep slope and I don’t want to fall over (plus any excuse to stay inside)
We are due some rain soon so I might go out later if it washes the snow away
TTFN!
Hello all!
We had snow but it has been mild lately and what is left is hard packed ice on some sidewalks and parking lots. Good thing i live in a flat place.
Performance #1 of Miracle Worker is done, 4 more to go!
Stay safe Darlene
I wonder how many broken hips have happened here recently.
It’s not that bad yet (is it?)
Not mine no! Haha! I was thinking of some of our seniors.
you should install heated sidewalks
Ha! Good plan.
I can just see it now, streets lined with cats
That would totally make me want to visit! 🙂
or you could pretend to be from Newcastle
I couldn’t get the video to play 🙁
I changed it from a facebook video to youtube so it should work if you do a refresh
Yup, got it to work! Thanks!
the next question is how much did you understand 🙂
Haha! Amusing but yes I didn’t catch all of it.
I am thinking that I should add English subtitles because the automatic system has no idea
my morning was sort of full of meetings; Suki met with warm soapy waters, the grocery store met with my line of credit, the “vampires” at the hospital met with my veins again … does that count?
It absolutely counts!
I’m headed out, chat with you all tomorrow!
I was just thinking of you Morgana (I was looking at Gin again)
Nooo, no more wonderful Gin! You have so many options that are not an option this side of the Pond.
This wasn’t a particular Gin but how to create your own adult advent calendar that would have a miniature bottle in each day
Or we could open that Gin bar I mentioned 🙂
Terrible idea to open a Gin bar … for obvious consumption concerns.
AKA drinking all the profits.
I do like the advent calendar though.
I have to book all of my holidays for next year NOW!
I really would like to get to Vancouver for March 1 to see Bahamas but there are so few good seats left. Does anyone have an American Express card they can use to buy me a ticket then I will pay you back. There is one gem of a seat smack dab in the middle about three rows back but only for Amex card holders …
Then there is the getting there bit.
BTW Luka made me think of, “my name is ____, I live on the second floor”. Then I saw, “Say Less” and that font made me think of Foot Loose … not dating myself here at all (:
I owned Suzanne Vega’s first two albums on tape at one time (many moves ago)
g’night folks
my cards and gifts have been sent but i do have a little more baking to do.
tonight the kid and I are going to attempt making peanut brittle.
I’ll let you know how it goes tomorrow.
