Song of the Day: The Stampeders – Sweet City Woman

Song of the Day: The Stampeders – Sweet City Woman “She feeds me love and tenderness and macaroons” — find me a sweeter sentiment than that. A Calgary classic for those of us with uncomfortably wholesome tendencies. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

Song of the Day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word

Song of the day: Finch – Unspoken is the Word No, not that Finch — this is a wonderfully chill instrumental Dutch prog tune from the late 1970s.

Song of the day: Escort – “A Sailboat in the Moonlight” Discovered this one on the CJSW playlist today.

Dude’s got moves, no question. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

Jaaam (The Fresh Prince Remix) (by Pogo) Pogo’s remixes of movies and TV series are consistently wonderful, in a feel-good pop-culture-savvy Lemon Jelly sort of way. I would recommend going through his full catalogue if you have a few minutes to spare. (Source: http://www.youtube.com/)

Twisted and Amazing Short of the Day: The Pig Farmer

The Pig Farmer (by Nick Cross) A twisted but utterly engrossing Canadian animated short. Nick’s about 10 minutes into making a feature. It might take a few years before it comes to fruition, but it’s worth getting excited for. (Source: http://player.vimeo.com/)
