I am a fan of neither Star Wars nor Katy Perry, but I certainly enjoyed this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ6zf-n1nZ0

Tansy’s Massive Playlist
It’s been a while since I’ve written about Tansy. In fact I’m overdue. She turned 12 at the end of May, so that’s a big one. I talked to the people who are taking care of her, and she seems to be very much enjoying herself, as are they. She has them wrapped around her …
There Ain’t Nothin’ Wrong With The Radio
Do you put the radio on for the dog when you go out? It won’t keep your pet calm, study finds Science is science I guess, but anecdotally, I’m not buying this one. I can’t speak for Domino yet because he’s only been here for a few weeks and we haven’t needed to leave him …
And Now, A Musical Interlude
Here’s Waylon Jennings with his classic, “You’ve Got a Homely Daddy That’ll Walk the Line”. I can’t pin that one on my dad the way I can with so many of these. This one’s all on me, I’m afraid. I was a small child, but still. But fear not, I can still go back to …
The First Two Plus Hours Of MTV’s Launch Day
I’m pretty sure that today is the first day in my life that I’ve watched MTV. I don’t remember seeing it on any of my trips to the States or during visits with the various friends and family who had the cool old big ass satellite dishes. And no, I’m not counting the useless Canadian …

Yard Sale
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a new song that I’ve only heard once just because I think I kinda like it, so here’s one. It’s hard to go wrong when you have Ben Harper playing acoustic. Some of that stuff is up there with my favourite music in the world. And it’s not …
The Floppotron Grows, Goes To the Circus
It’s been a while since we’ve checked in on the Floppotron, and since last we left it, it’s gotten quite a bit bigger. It’s now up to version 3.0 and includes 512 floppy drives, 16 hard disks and 4 scanners. Ridiculous. Here it is playing Julius Fucík’s Entrance of the Gladiators, A.K.A. that clown song …
A Post
Coming to you live from one of our nice lawn chairs that some dickhead pigeons have pecked the hell out of, it’s…a post about stuff! Yay! Right now you’re all sharing my first nice weather beer of 2023 with me. Thank you for being here. It means the world. And before you ask, no, I …
Sweet Child O’ Mine, The Bluegrass Edition
It’s official. “Sweet Child O’ Mine” kind of works as everything. Here’s a bluegrass version from Robyn Adele Anderson and Anthony Vincent to keep the streak alive.
Inside The CHFI Control Room In 1971
This won’t be for everyone, but if you’re fascinated by what goes on in radio station control rooms or at least what used to go on in there, nearly a half hour of audio recorded during a morning show on 680 CHFI Toronto in the spring of 1971 might be fun. You can download the …
