do you want a bear or moose on that?...........

man have i felt tired today! all this travelling about has finally brought me down & I'm in need of a few days of just doing nuthin' - but i also badly want to get up the ski hills this weekend & ride, ride, ride

i did some last minute Xmas shopping today, i shop well under pressure & some good choices were made - i mean Canmore is not exactly Oxford Street or Bluewater but it has enough shops to keep you interested - if you are in the market for anything bearing images of moose or bears this is the place to come

weirdest thing i saw was a mini golf game which you seemingly play whilst sitting on the lavatory - i want to make it clear I didn't buy it, but if i was back in England I would know some people who would appreciate this kind of thing - hello Bernie!


rightio as i'm so goddam cream crackered without further ado it's top 5 time in the Blue Canadian Rockies songs of the year

i absolutely love The Broken Family Band - these guys are geniuses (or is that genii - who cares)

hailing from Cambridge, UK they play witty, acerbic & just plain awesome country music. now this might sound corny coming from East Anglia as opposed to Tennessee, but far from it - they put most americana bands totally to shame & their live concerts are a joy - they often play in London so i really recommend that you get out and see them at the next opportunity

this year they released Cold Water Songs - which could easily have contributed at least another 2 or 3 songs in my top 5 but i have chosen Devil in the Details which is a beautifully bittersweet song

No. 5 The Broken Family Band - Devil in the Details
