Once again, the skies are full of snow and my Twitter feed is full of people moping about it. Instead of another day of that, how about a bit of this?

The weekend’s waiting in the wings, and spring is hot on its heels, so let’s take it back to seventy-nine and have a little fun with this one. The saxophone solo in the middle of the track was reportedly added to the song because soloist Davey Payne was unhappy about the financial disparities within the […]

Let’s go ahead and keep the Canadian nineties time warp I dipped into last week rolling with another great video from the time, courtesy of the Killjoys. It’s a great song for a gray week, and at the end you get to see a cute little girl flashing double devil horns. How can you argue […]

If you’re not in your late twenties at least, and you didn’t grow up in Canada, there’s a really good chance you’ve never seen this video. Hell, it’s possible you’ve never even heard of Doughboys, and no one could blame you if you hadn’t. What do you say we make up for it? The version […]

Not only is this one of the best tracks ever committed to tape by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but it’s arguably also a rare example of a cover that tops the original – and that says a lot, because the original was a classic in its own right.

“Sunless Saturday,” released in 1991, was and remains the highest charting Fishbone single. Watching the video now, twenty years after it first hit the airwaves, I feel like this particular track is what Dave Matthews Band would sound like if they ever decided to get over themselves and kick some major ass. Think about it, […]

If you’re of a certain age and you grew up in Canada, then you’ll remember a time when this video was a hit. If you’ve never heard of Organized Rhyme, and you’re seeing this for the first time, then yes, that’s a very young Tom Green. Shot in 1992 in Toronto’s Jane and Finch neighbourhood, […]

A terrific song from an amazing album, sure, but you’ve also got to love the video. It’s a very simple concept, and it’s done very well. Chevy Chase and Paul Simon have a real comic rapport here that you don’t get to see in a lot of videos, the former hamming it up while the […]
