Mp3 Share The Cat Empire
"Lonely Moon"

or you can try here too!

I posted that The Cat Empire would be in Toronto last week. Since I'm pressed for time, an couldn't think of anything, I thought I would just post a song from them this week. So I'm sharing a song from their 2008 album "So Many Nights" with you today. Here is the song called "Lonely Moon". Enjoy this selection, and visit the wiki.

I posted this a long time ago and have been using it off and on with no problems. The auther has been very good at updating it when any problems have been found. I have been careful and you should be too since Google could stop this any time they want. So far they have let us enjoy the benifits of ....... GMAIL DRIVE.

GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to. It's free so check it out. !

Mp3 Share Steely Dan
"Black Friday"

or you can try here too!

Steely Dan have been around for more then 30 years. They are doing a two day gig here in Toronto at Massey Hall. On Nov 25 the Aja (Plus) and on Nov 26 the Royal Scam (Plus). Both relying heavily on their old standbys. I always liked them so I'm sharing an old song with you today. Here is the song called "Black Friday", you may remember it from the "Katy Lied" album. I thought it somewhat appropriate for this coming Friday's shopping spree. Enjoy this selection, and visit the wiki. Also the CRANBERRIES, were here last week with their reunion tour, live at the QUEEN ELIZABETH THEATRE and Cat Empire will be here in Toronto on NOVEMBER 27th at the Phoenix. So many things happening!

OKAY KEYBEES is a freeware keyboard remapper with a twist. You define what keys are always replaced or what keys are replaced only when a user defined modifier key is held. You can effectively "move" keys to either side of the keyboard or even effective disable keys (like the Windows key). It's free, so GO THERE and check it out!

Mp3 Share Billy Bragg
"A New England"

or you can try here too!

For something that makes some of us feel really old, Billy Bragg is coming to the Phoenix tomorrow November 17th. He's been around for over 30 years now and still going strong. In honour of his visit I found a cut from his 1983 album called "Life's a Riot with Spy Vs Spy". An import copy is still selling on Amazon! Here's "A New England" for you. Hope you enjoy this share. If you do enjoy it check out the wiki page.

Mp3 Share Trans-Siberian Orchestra
"Night Enchanted"

or you can try here too!

For something really different, Trans-Siberian Orchestra is coming to the Air Canada Centre this week, on November 12th. As usual most tickets have been sold out already. In honour of this I thought I'd share a song that is on the 2009 double disc album "Night Castle" called "Night Enchanted", of course. It was available as a single in 2008 before the full album release. Hope you enjoy this share. If you do enjoy it check out the wiki page.

SORRY but I just have time to post a cartoon from a while ago that caught my funny bone, it's from Speed Bump which I try to see every day. For those who have gone through this it should be funny. For any one with a teenager, still at home, it might be more of a helpful guide.

Mp3 Share Jann Arden
"California Dreaming"
or you can try here too!
Jann Arden has just release a new album called "Free". It's great as if I could think otherwise. I thought it was time to revisit her last album called "UnCover Me" and chose "California Dreaming" to share with you today. It is a great version and apt for this time of year. The 2007 disc kicks off with "Bring the Boys Home" (originally a 1971 anti-Vietnam war song) that is especially moving with its refrain, "bring 'em back alive." The '70s hit "Peace Train" by Yusuf Islam (a.k.a. Cat Stevens) also delivers another powerful message in a gentle melody. True to Arden's musical nature, there are a handful of melancholic tracks, including the aptly wistful version of Janis Ian's "At Seventeen" and a moving, traditional take on the Carpenters' "Solitaire." The disc's one original, "Counterfeit Heart" is a definite standout. Hope you enjoy my share. If you do enjoy it you may want to check out the wiki page.
