Ha. I have never considered myself someone who could identify tracks. What they sound like is a different story. Thank god for Shazam and Soundhound. Could have used something like that 45-50 years ago when I started to do some serious collecting.
In order:
Madeon-Hi!-never heard of him but this a change or him-is a DJ with some interesting earlier music.
Sharp Pins-(I Wanna) Be Your Girl-our host is a fan-made me think of I Wanna Be Your Dog-this is very Beatlesque.
Home Front-Light Sleeper-banger of the week and from Edmonton! Had some stuff from them but this is really good. Even the credits at the end of their video sounds like OMD and go on for about a minute:

PJ Harvey-This Is Love
Native Sun-Whose Kids
Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Date With The Night-got Fever To Tell on release-banger.
I wish they would get rid of DST at least as long as I am working. Losing an hour during tax season always a bitch.
Warren,
Just great, putting Martin to the test. If he passes, it would be great to hear him commenting verbally on the music going forward. And as always, more of E. would also be great fun, especially when she tears a strip off that other guy. LOL.
Warren,
Guess which group PP is in? Pierre loves the purity test so at least we can be so proud after we lose our FIFTH election in a row. Ha, ha, ha. As bad as Carney is on his worst day, he’ll never be as bad as our guy. Oh, well. The highlight of the new year for me will be when our illustrious leader gets a Soviet-style 99% backing at the leadership review in Calgary. Poor AB, first they gave us Smith and now a reinvigourated Poilièvre. Maybe he should change his name to Bill Bergen giving that he’ consistently batting .170.
Go Blue Jays!
Warren,
Paramilitaries are rarely beaten by a military. Hamas will simply go underground to fight another day. Unfortunately. Trump and Netanyahu are totally delusional. They will never wipe out Hamas. But at least it sounds good.
Warren,
I like waking up in the morning not in the dark. Same thing for extended bright evenings. I love EDST!
Warren,
Here’s the latest poll I found.
Angus Reid:
August 2025~1,500 adults
“Canada should recognize a Palestinian state”
Y= 61%;
N= 28%;
U= 11%;
63% also say Hamas must be removed for viability; 37% sympathize more with Palestinians (up from 28% in May 2024). Support holds even if it complicates U.S. trade talks (62% say don’t back down).
Léger:
August 1-4, 2025 -1,617 adults
“Is recognizing Palestine a good idea?”
Y= 41%;
N= 28%;
U= 31%;
Plurality support; highest among youth (18-34: ~50%) and in Quebec/BC (41-44%).
Warren,
Just watched that so-called joint press conference in the oval third-class whore house. That stupid, old, demented fuck. He should be in an insane asylum. Can’t believe Carney didn’t cut it short and get the hell out of there…what idiots our delegation was to sit through that total joke of a media availability. And you all think that this imbecile is going to do a deal with us. Please. Carney gets to go home with less than nothing, a true Trump specialty… don’t waste your time going to DC again. That crackpot needs to meet a rubber room and Carney should already know that… Jesus Christ, what a sick spectacle. Nothing gets more painful than that.
Does T get the Nobel Peace prize if the deal holds Ronald?
Martin,
If they gave it to Obama and Carter, the precedent is established. I would say he’s the odds on favourite. If the deal holds, he would deserve it.
Irrespective of our feelings regarding Trump, as individuals and as a country, he is still the president. They voted for him twice, unfortunately, so he’s the guy we have to deal with. I’d prefer a democrat, or a traditional republican like even a Bush, but it’s Trump we have to deal with – we don’t have a choice, he’s their president right now.
LeBlanc calls it “successful, positive.” Yeah, right.
In other news, we have hired another GS guy. How soon we forget how they almost took the whole financial system down.

Martin,
They all did. Still don’t get why JD wasn’t given the heave-ho with the rest of ’em in 2008. He should have been.
The tone has changed, and I see a deal on the horizon – PP would have sold us out by now, but Carney is playing the long game – he’s playing the right game.
Curious,
I can’t stand Pierre but what you said is bullshit. There is no evidence whatsoever that he would sell us out. As for Blarney, not even a single indication that a deal is either in the works or close to fruition. Carney is nothing more than an abject failure. No surprise there.
This may go twice. Was locked out on another browser.
He literally looked like a TS groupie that had just scored tickets to the world premier of The Life Of A Showgirl. And I have the receipts. I have two partners that regularly lose their minds over Taylor.
Warren,
Léger:
Liberals: 44%;
Conservatives: 38%;
New Democrats: 6%;
Bloc: 7%;
Green: 3%.
Warren,
Pipelines. It’s amazing how most people can’t see the forest for the trees…they’re all wrapped up in the faux debate about national oil and gas projects with a go-ahead given solely by the feds versus provincial rights, more particularly those of BC, if they exist in law.
In fact, the real debate and question should go like this: let’s see, Harper was PM from 2006 to 2015. How come the business case wasn’t made when he was in office and why didn’t he move heaven and earth to get pipelines and other oil and gas projects done? You won’t see PP criticizing Harper on that, not in a month of Sundays! That’s reality talking.
And YES, I’m still an enthusiastic CPC member in good standing. It’s only our leader who’s a dud. He couldn’t win an election even with God begging him to. LOL.
