Cool.  •  Sydney Mines, United Church Manse, Christmas 1970. The website says this came out in 1971 but there was only one Cape Breton Christmas for us and it followed the 1970 UK summer. What were my folks thinking buying us an album with "Spill the Wine" on it for their pre-teen kids?  •  Get …

On Go this past Saturday, Brent was asking the question what is the best song ever. "London Calling" by the Clash was given much respect from the outset and I once again was amazed listening to the lyrics in the chorus:  •  “The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in  •  Meltdown expected, the …
