Posting b/c @CBCMusic is here & not where skies are blue. I am so grateful to be able to learn from your amazing presenters: Tom (@CBCAboutTime) taught me the previously incomprehensible Circle of Fifths, Daniel accessibly defined modes on today’s #CBCCentreStage, & more. TY 🤜🤛
I was going to get out of bed, but then @missprill started playing the sublimely superb @JeremyDutcher on “This is my Music” on @CBCmusic, and well, I didn’t. I still win though, because the hour and a half of the show I caught, her choices and stories were wonderful!!!

Her Julieship: …”stormy searide to get you there.”
Brain pipes up: “HAS to be the Hebrides!”
First notes play. Yup, we’re Hebrides bound. Even half asleep I ALWAYS have brain cells for music. Nice one, team. 🤜🤛
@exitthelemming I am so very sorry for your loss. The love your family has for him & the love he shared with you will always shine brightly, of that I am sure. Right down to every tear shed, his & your love will even be in that spark of reflected light on the eyes themselves.Thinking of you all.
@CBCMusic Dear programmers, if DBP & team were in favour, Centre Stage NEEDS to be longer than 1 hour. Daniel’s delicious and delightful nerdery is second only to @CBCTempo’s Queen Julie’s, and like Tempo, Centre Stage’s chosen pieces are 🔥🔥 and always s/th to look forward to.
@Ologies I just listened to the 300th & I just want to say: Congratulations, Mercedes! You did it! Sweating bullets & all, you were positively nerdtastic! Great choice in questions, your asides were genuine & so positive, a difficult job & you did it, as YOU. Thank you! 🤜🤛👏👏
Documentary discovery thanks to @kpassiton: Push by Leilani Farha. Released in 2019, when Housing as a Human Right entered convos. Then came a pandemic, & the probs laid bare haven’t seen any redress. Developers buy politicians so private equity (not people) can buy the homes.
I want a “reverse Costco” where you can buy small amounts of items you will rarely use again, like specialty ingredients.
Let me pay $1 for 1 oz of fish sauce. Yes, I can get much more for not that much more money but then I’ll feel guilty every time I see it in my fridge.
@AJamesMcCarthy @MaryWil12963524 6 and a half months, and still counting. 😭😭
We haven’t even been able to use his favourite blankie. It’s folded up in the upside closet where it’ll stay for a while longer.
THIS CRISIS IS ONGOING IN FORT CHIPEWYAN: Leaders in Fort Chipewyan held a press conference this morning to announce high levels of contaminants such as heavy metals, uranium, hydrocarbons well above legal limits around the Big Dock and shores surrounding the small community in Northern Alberta. Fort Chipewyan leaders state Transport Canada has known about these contaminants since 2017 but did not tell the community- instead they found out via a third party. “This is environmental racism. This is deadly,” said ACFN Chief Allan Adam. The source of contaminants is believed to be linked to Alberta oil sands upstream, naturally occurring bitumen & other industrial activities.

@ravenscimaven Hands are hard when you’re being filmed or photographed.
Also, when you’re me, add dancing to that list of circumstances where that particular challenge is soooo obvious.
