Siouxsie, Robert Smith, Bruce Cockburn

Dec 22, 2012, 2:49pm Filles Sourires

I've been collecting odd Christmas tracks for about ten years (and blogging about it on this blog ), and every year I'm surprised about who recorded what. I mean, check this video. 80s Gothic queen Siouxsie Sioux plus part time Banshees-member Robert Smith miming miserably to original French carol 'Il est né le divin enfant' (He is born the divine Christ Child). This was a b-side to the Melt!-single in 1982. And what about Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, best known for his both brilliant and furious If I [...]

Mountain Stage: Carrie Rodriguez, Brooke Waggoner, Trixie Whitley, Iris Dement, Bruce Cockburn

Nov 19, 2012, 11:09am Muruch

Last night's Mountain Stage featured Carrie Rodriguez, Brooke Waggoner, Trixie Whitley, Iris Dement and Bruce Cockburn. With such a powerhouse lineup, it's no surprise the show sold out before the doors even opened. Carrie Rodriguez' 2008 Mountain Stage set was one of the best concerts I've ever attended, so I was excited to see her [...]

The Man Doesn’t Want You To Dance And The Man Doesn’t Want You To Know How To Fight For Your Right To Dance, Either*

Jun 10, 2012, 11:11am Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas

Paloma claims to have never seen the movie Footloose . It surprised me to learn of this fact because we are nearly the same age and, as far as I know, everyone our age saw Footloose in 1984. I knew little of the crushing, oppressive nature of totalitarian regimes before Footloose . Sure, we were at the height of Cold War tensions in 1984, but the Soviets merely wanted to nuke us like microwave bacon; they didn’t want to stop us from dancing. Then, I saw Footloose – as a [...]

Religion: What About The Bond

Oct 7, 2011, 3:24am Star Maker Machine

Bruce Cockburn : What About the Bond [ purchase ] In 1980, Bruce Cockburn released Humans. The album is a collection of songs about the various forms of injustice in the world. What About the Bond comes almost exactly in the middle of the album, and it makes clear that Cockburn sees testifying about these injustices as a religious obligation. Cockburn urges all of us to stop turning a blind eye to human suffering, a message that is at least as relevant today as it was in 1980. I haven’t read [...]

Frazey Ford - Lovers in a Dangerous Time

Jul 14, 2011, 8:55am New Music Collaborative

Mmm hmm love some Frazey Ford , who was one part of the now defunct band Be Good Tanyas. She covers Bruce Cockburn's 1984 classic hit and turns it upside down, making it a tumultuous and moving song with her sultry voice, something the original was not. Her phenomenal debut album from last year is one you should be familiar with, it won't let you down. Don't the hours go shorter as the days go by [...]

Oh Canada

Jul 1, 2011, 8:10pm Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas

It's Canada Day today. The older I get, the more often I consider Canada and think, yeah, now that seems like a country that has its act together. There's football and rock bands and rivers and streams of pure maple syrup. Paloma and I were watching episodes of The Kids In The Hall last week when she suggested we move to the land that gave us Bruce McCulloch. "I don't think that they want us." Not that we're trouble. We're quiet, well-behaved and have both seen [...]

One Track Mind: Bruce Cockburn, “Pacing The Cage” (1996)

by Tom Johnson Some people just have a gift for the odd twist of phrase that makes a song mean so much more than just a bunch of words or even just a mood. Bruce Cockburn, the Canadian sorta-Christian singer/songwriter is one such guy, and in "Pacing The Cage," from 19962s beautiful The Charity Of Night, he takes what could
