Monday Motivation

Please Sir, I Want Some More
Red Wine

"Red red wine, It's up to you, All I can do, I've done" Red Red Wine, UB40

Guess what's happening now minions? Red, red wine of the Cabernet Sauvignon kind is what my Monday Motivation is. 

Hey, motivation is a mysterious thing, it can take on many forms, so sit right back and you'll hear a tale...

"Yes" red wine is my end game for Monday as I am having it with cheese and crackers as a little before Thanksgiving celebration with a friend tonight.

Any questions? I thought not, now carry on, that's all.

Say Cheese! 😺

Come On Get Happy!

Happiness Is...
Lizzo

"Hello world, here's a song that we're singin', C'mon get happy, A whole lotta lovin' is what we'll be bringin', We'll make you happy" - Come On Get Happy, The Partridge Family 

Today I am channeling Lizzo celebrating her sister's Birthday from the happiest place on earth, Disneyland! I was there just two weeks ago and had a grand time, and "Yes" like Lizzo, I got happy!

With all the strife going on in the world around us, please remember to do the one thing that counts most, make yourself and others smile, everyone, smiles.

It doesn't cost a thing and it feels good for all parties involved. Lizzo personally makes me smile every time I see her do anything. Thus I hereby decree Lizzo the mascot for getting happy.

Enjoy your day 100% minions...!

"Hardcore 81"

D.O.A.'s "Hardcore 81" Receives 2019 

Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize Designation 

The Polaris Music Prize has announced D.O.A.'s Hardcore 81 and Oscar Peterson Trio's Night Train albums have received 2019 Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize designation.

D.O.A.'s genre-defining hardcore punk album from 1981 was chosen over 11 other nominated albums in the Re:Sound-supported Heritage Prize public voting category, which ran this year from September 17 to October 18. This marks the first time a British Columbia artist has won the Heritage Prize. The Oscar Peterson Trio's 1963 album by the legendary jazz pianist was selected by a 10- member Polaris Heritage Prize jury made up of music media and historians.

"Congratulations to these two winning artists. You've created important memorable recordings that have had a lasting impact on the musical landscape. I have tremendous appreciation for the work that has gone into creating these timeless albums," said Gary Slaight, President and CEO of Slaight Communications.

The winners appreciated that these albums remain so relevant with the jury and the public decades after their initial releases.

"It's pretty cool for D.O.A. and our fans to have Hardcore 81 recognized by Polaris. When it was released, we never realized that this album would give birth to the hardcore music genre and make an impact around the world," said D.O.A.'s Joey 'Shithead' Keithley. "So this is an amazing moment for us." 

D,O,A,

D.O.A. and the Oscar Peterson Trio now join a list of past Heritage Prize winners which include the likes of Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Alanis Morissette, Peaches, Glenn Gould, Dream Warriors and Harmonium.

"Re:Sound is proud to sponsor the Polaris Heritage Prize for the third consecutive year," said Ian MacKay, Re:Sound's president. "By spanning numerous decades and musical genres and incorporating both the jury and the public's selections, we see winners who reflect Canada's diverse and dynamic musical history. The shortlist and winners reinforce why we do the work we do to help build a thriving and sustainable music industry in Canada." 

Like the Polaris Music Prize, winners and nominees for the Heritage Prize are Canadian albums of the artistic distinction, without regard to musical genre or commercial popularity. This is the Polaris version of a hall of fame where we try to determine who would have been nominated or won the Prize before it began in 2006.

The Office of Gilbert Li, who curated the 2019 Polaris Music Prize posters and the posters for the 2018 Heritage Prize winners, will once again select the visual artists who'll pay tribute to the two winning records in the form of Polaris Posters.

The 2019 Polaris Heritage Prize jury included Stephen Cooke, Del Cowie, Francella Fiallos, Stuart Henderson, Bob Klanac, Valerie Lessard, Trevor Risk, Tabbasum Siddiqui and Andrea Warner. Mary Dickie was the jury foreperson.

Freaky Friday

Walk Like A Ballerina
Harry Styles

Look up on the stage: It's a peacock! It's a beach umbrella! No, it's Harry Styles in a pink tutu! Well it's Harry Styles in a pink tutu hosting Saturday Night Live to be exact. Thus bringing you the Freaky Friday moment you never know you needed, but did.

Now when someone says you have "Nice long legs" you can produce this photo and confidently state "Well it's not Harry Styles in a pink tutu bending and pointing his toes nice long legs, but I'll take it!"

That's the beauty of things like this, you can assign any narrative you choose to them 😉

For the record Styles does have nice long gams. Being built stocky I will never know the joy of having my legs being complimented as nice and long. They do get compliments though, for being nice or hot, depending on who is giving the adulation and why (if you get my drift, and I think you do.)

So get Freaky with Harry this Friday, you know you want to, I know I do!

It's About The Coffee

Must Have Caffeine
Evan Peters & Halsey

While trying to focus and get my body in motion this morning all I can think about is how much I would love some coffee. 

Seeing this photo of Evan Peters and Halsey hitting a Starbucks in Burbank, CA isn't helping matters much, "Yes" it's making me want some coffee even more, duh!

So if you thought I was going to address the Halsey pregnancy rumor when you saw this pic in today's post, you thought wrong. She is or she isn't either way who cares.

For me, myself and I, it's all about the coffee.

I'm gonna head out and get me some, right now...Ciao!
