The period of frequently purchasing new albums is now well in the past for me. As I do not stream or download music, acquiring new CDs has become a very infrequent occurrence. I did not hesitate to purchase Paul's new CD, 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane.' 1/2 #PaulMcCartney

@albumism.com @vinyl.bsky.social @discogsofficial.bsky.social Saturday morning vinyl offering, 'Live Bullet' by @BobSeger & the Silver Bullet Band. Released in 1976. Bob was still a regional phenomenon and a national curiosity. Not for long...

@jaredbook.bsky.social Hi, Jared. Do you know whether there has been any talk of expanding the PWHL into Alberta?

Celebrating "Wouldn't It Be Good" by @nikkershaw.bsky.social Released 1984 @billboard.com Hot 100 #46 "Don't bore us, get to the chorus" doesn't apply. A 40-second intro & 40 seconds before the chorus, you're taking chances that you'll hold the listener's attention.  1/2 youtu.be/cTLTG4FTNBQ?...

"This Dog Will Change Your Life" by (@thedogist.bsky.social) Elias Weiss Freidman ( 2025) Freidman is widely recognized by his Instagram title, "The Dogist." He takes pictures of dogs, posts them on line, including their stories. He has millions of followers, and is a passionate dog-lover. 1/3

I love the songs that I've heard so far from the new #Macca album. For what it's worth, @rollingstone.com loves the whole album. #TheBoysOfDungeonLane www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

@mitchmelnick.bsky.social This is a great read on who the Flames should try to emulate in their rebuild. calgaryherald.com/sports/hocke...

@ericengels.bsky.social @stucowangazette.bsky.social This is a great read on who the Flames should try to emulate in their rebuild. And Stu is mentioned. calgaryherald.com/sports/hocke...

@canadiensnhl.bsky.social In my mind I'm going to Carolina... #GoHabsGo

While watching #PaulMcCartney on @nbcsnl.bsky.social, I was intrigued by the female backup vocalist in his band. I said to my wife, "I think that's Ingrid Michaelson." My belief was confirmed when I saw Ingrid's IG post. I could feel the excitement and joy she expressed. Music creates magic.

Heading to mass here in Calgary with my Lafleur socks on, and my Suzuki t-shirt. Prayers will be said 🙏🏽.

@mitchmelnick.bsky.social 7-6, you were saying? 🤔

Maybe my opinion is coloured by the fact that I have been a forever fan, but it is still truly remarkable to me that after 6 decades of songwriting, Paul McCartney, continues to generate such fresh and innovative musical concepts. 1/2 youtu.be/bLRV8hRRUHo?...

'Habs Nation: A People's History of the Montreal Canadiens' by Brendan Kelly (2025) The @canadiensnhl.bsky.social are more than just an NHL team; their rich history is deeply connected to Quebec's culture. Kelly's book examines how the community found its identity through this sports team. 1/6

Last night, Kristy and I watched the film "Michael." Jaafar Jackson's portrayal of his uncle was nothing short of extraordinary. Especially during the concert scenes, I felt as if I were witnessing Michael himself. The film reaffirmed for me that Michael's performance... 1/2 youtu.be/CauNjt2j-BM?...

'Kill for Me, Kill for You' by @stevecavanagh.bsky.social (2023) If you like your mystery thrillers to twist in the wind, leaving you guessing until the end, this release from Steve Cavanagh will certainly fill your needs. 1/3

@canadiensnhl.bsky.social #GoHabsGo

I feel like I've gone back in time. I'm that kid in the 1970s all over again, who couldn't fall asleep when the @canadiensnhl.bsky.social lost a game 😕. #GoHabsGo

Josh Anderson: “You want to win in Montreal. This is the best city, the best team to be a part of, and you dream of doing it with this team, this organization.” I was privileged to witness 7 Cup wins/parades in Mtl. I took those memories with me to Calgary in 1998. 1/2 #GoHabsGo

'Entry Island' by Peter May (2014) The story unfolds on Entry Island (Île d'Entrée), situated off the eastern coast of the Magdalen Islands, in the Gulf of St Lawrence, part of the province of Quebec. The island's population is fewer than 100 residents. 1/6 @blueskybooks.bsky.social

The Beatles and their influence on music and life. Steve Van Zandt: "The day before The Ed Sullivan Show, there were literally no bands in America. The day after, everybody had a band." In "Oversexed, Overexposed," David Hepworth wrote about A Hard Day's Night: 1/5 @blueskymusic.bsky.social

Saturday morning vinyl offering, 'The Innocent Age' by Dan Fogelberg There are albums that have profoundly influenced my musical and personal journey, to the extent that they will forever remain cherished. 'The Innocent Age' by Dan Fogelberg has resonated with me for 40+ years. 1/2

Celebrating "They Don't Know" by Tracey Ullman Released 1983 @billboard.com Hot 100 #8 The original version was released in 1979 by the song's writer, Kirsty MacColl. 1/4 youtu.be/SNchTKdRs2A?...

The memories of this show have stayed with me and have inspired me for decades. The Manhattan Transfer, Theatre St-Denis, Montreal, 1981.

Dave Mason was an elite guitarist whose work with a wide-ranging group of artists earned him decades of respect. In addition to forming the band Traffic with Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi, he played on classic recordings like 'Electric Ladyland,' 'Beggar's Banquet' and 'All Things Must Pass.' 1/2

For those unfamiliar with the profound cultural significance of hockey and the @canadienshub.bsky.social in the province of Quebec, these photos are from tonight's (Apr 19) MTL/TB playoff game. Cathédrale Saint-Jean-l’Évangéliste in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

"The Ending Writes Itself" by Evelyn Clarke (2025) The premise is intriguing: Arthur Fletch, a renowned and best-selling author, passes away before completing his latest mystery novel. Consequently, the book's ending remains unfinished. 1/5

@VinylMePlease @Albumism @discogs @vinyl_for_life Saturday morning vinyl offering, 'Gotta Have Pop' by @segarini. A true Canadian classic. 🇨🇦 #TheWackers #TheDudes #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyllovers #MusicMatters

Ginger joined Julie and me at Rockyview Hospital, where we spent a rewarding morning entertaining patients in the mental health ward. There was one attendee who was engaged and finding joy in the music. 1/5 #MuiscTherapy #MusicHeals #ThePowerOfMusic #MakeADifference

@mitchmelnick.bsky.social Brian Wilde winning the Mitch Melnick look-alike contest 😉

Donald Tarlton, aka Donald K Donald. The name is iconic for anyone from Montreal who attended concerts. He was a larger-than-life impresario promoter who made the city a tour stop for every major act. 1/3 Photo by Michel Cloutier

"Overpaid, Oversexed and Over There: How a Few Skinny Brits with Bad Teeth Rocked America" - by David Hepworth (2020) This is a story about America's love affair with British music. From the early 1960s with the Beatles, Hepworth explores the UK's constant onslaught on the musical world. 1/4

Saturday morning vinyl offering, 'Tango In the Night' by @fleetwoodmac. Imo, the last meaningful release by Lindsey, Stevie, Christine, Mick, & John. #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyllovers #MusicMatters

Celebrating Electric Light Orchestra! In the early 1970s, Electric Light Orchestra established itself as pioneers with a unique sound. 1/6

Anika Nilles has many eyes observing her with a mix of curiosity and skepticism. Stepping into Neil Peart's drum seat in RUSH is indeed a daunting task. Her debut public performance, which opened The JUNO Awards 2026, was an extraordinary and masterful display. Bravo! youtu.be/kVw-4L59Tw0?...

The lead track from Paul's upcoming album, 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane.' The voice shows the fragility of age, but also brings emotion to a song that is filled with remembrance and understanding that the past cannot be relived 😪 youtu.be/2n1IhyF6R0U?...

I've read many books and spent many years listening to and analyzing the music that came out of California in the early-mid 1970s. Imo, Joni Mitchell was the era's most influential and original artist. Crosby, Nash, Taylor, Browne, Henley-Frey, etc all wanted to write like her. 🇨🇦 1/2

And this is why I will never stop playing music. #RaulMalo #TheMavericks #MusicMatters #MusicIsLife

@VinylMePlease @Albumism @discogs @vinyl_for_life Saturday morning vinyl offering, 'Long After Dark,' by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Featuring "Change Of Heart" and "Straight Into Darkness," two of the best Heartbreakers' songs. #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #vinyllovers #MusicMatters

Celebrating "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc Released 1975 Billboard Hot 100 #2 To understand the creation of this song, it's essential to acknowledge the talents of 10cc's members: Eric Stewart, Graham Gouldman, Kevin Godley, and Lol Creme. 1/4 youtu.be/STugQ0X1NoI?...

Montreal concert photos from days gone by. I'm still not sure how I was able to bring a camera into the venue. Maybe rules were just looser back in the 1980s. #CliffRichard #KennyLoggins #BillyJoel #RoyOrbison

'Wings - The Story Of A Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney (edited by Ted Widmer) 2025 I've been reading about music for over 50 years, and I've probably spent more time with Paul McCartney than any other artist. 1/3
