It’s a good day to watch the movie! Then again every day is a good day to watch the movie! #theband
On this day in 1976, The Band performed their final concert. Called The Last Waltz, it featured many guest performers and was turned into a critically-acclaimed documentary directed by Martin Scorsese. The album produced from the concert reached the top 20 in 11 countries.

#Saturdayspinning my favourite album of the last 10 years - Sturgill Simpson’s 2016 breakout album A Sailor’s Guide to Earth. A twangy, trippy and rockin protest album. App killer, no filler. #whothefuckissturgillsimpson

Saturday morning #nowspinning - Stones 1968 classic Beggars Banquet. 1st of 4 straight masterpieces that make up a 4 album run that’s as good as any. Beggars to Exile is pretty much the peak of Rock. Zeppelin I to IV is right there and wild they were basically the same years. What a time for music.

The boy (13) was inconsolable after the game last night. I told him that, on the brightside, this will likely (hopefully?) be the most heartbreaking loss a team he is rooting for could possibly ever have. I don’t think it helped in the moment. #BlueJays #parentcorner

1 away, hard to believe. Friday will be wild across the country.
🎇BLUE JAYS ARE A GAME AWAY!
The Toronto Blue Jays beat the LA Dodgers 6-1 to go up 3-2 in the series.
That incredible start and stellar Yesavage performance.
Toronto can win the World Series AT HOME on Friday night.

Crazy, 120 years of history and first time. This series, man.
That was the first time in World Series history that two players have hit back-to-back home runs to start a game.

Sunday morning #nowspinning - Traveling Wilbury’s Vol.1. Finally found this on a FB auction is and happily put in top bid. Seminal album of my youth; I have vivid memories of listening on the back roads of New Brunswick. And it definitely made me dive into all of the members’ catalogs. #vinylsky

Saturday morning #nowspinning - Gregg Allman’s 1987 solo album I’m No Angel. Title track is a classic and a banger. The rest…isn’t great. The (incredibly 80’s) photo on the back looks like the album sounds. #vinylsky

#Nowspinning on Truth & Reconciliation Day; Gord Downie’s haunting album Secret Path. It’s musically brilliant but a tough listen/watch. It’s also important and maybe Gord’s most cherished legacy.

Great interview this morning @brentstaeben.bsky.social. This year felt like a big win for Harvest. Music was as great as ever - headliners lived up to hype (and then some) and some nice surprises - and the new venue was 10/10. Still working on that corporate sponsorship.…next year I guess 😬

This is a good lens into the man. Ken Dryden was a great Canadien but an even greater Canadian. #RIPKen #Dryden #GoHabsGo
I was never a big hockey fan, but I had Ken Dryden as a professor at McGill in Canadian Studies. We talked about citizenship and patriotism, and what all of that means. One day, I put up my hand in class. I told him I was Canadian, voted in every election, and considered myself civically engaged. 1/

The fight between Jack White and Donald Trump just keeps getting better.
A few days ago, Jack White expressed his disgust at the whorehouse-like decor Donald Trump on which he’s imposed on the Oval Office. It’s truly gawdy and awful. This butthurt the White House.
