So...Leonard Cohen was born this day.

Respect to the man who gave us "You Want It Darker", "The Future", "Democracy", "Anthem", etc..

Dayton Ward announced on several websites that he's working with Dayton Ward and James Swallow on a project for the Star Trek "Novelverse" as we've known it these past two decades. Working title is Coda.

Owing to several divergences from content established in the "Novelverse" in what we've been seeing on Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks thus far, and expecting more divergences to come, a lot of longtime readers are expecting this project to wrap up the continuity of the "Novelverse" with some finality.

Dayton's noted that since beginning work on the Coda project, there's been a piece of "go to" music he's had on his playlist: "The Garden" by Rush, from their Clockwork Angels album.

We've got maybe over half a year before this particular trilogy of books starts arriving at retailers, but since Rush was a Canadian band, this is a good excuse for another Musical Interlude in my own blogging here. From their Clockwork Angels tour in 2012, then...

A few months ago, before the mess hit the world, I bought a copy of the above album. Finally made time to listen to it tonight. It was good music. Leaving it at that for now.

Meanwhile, I'm watching videos about flow-charting software, just in case the job search doesn't get messed up. Or maybe to do what I can to get a work-from-home job. Not sure yet, but I've got to keep doing useful things.

The best part of today's Grey Cup game. She got a message out.

People I'd like to hear covering "Maybe Tomorrow" AKA "the Littlest Hobo theme": Sarah MacLachlan, BNL, and for some weird constellation of reasons...Jodie Whittaker.

I didn't know this was an actual full-up song to be had. The band as shown here is an offshoot of the Sheepdogs of Saskatoon.

D'you suppose we could get at least twenty people interested in a Canadian Music community?

Neil Young, Buffy Sainte-Marie, Kashtin, Tanya Tagaq, Metric, Bruce Cockburn, New Pornographers, Arcade Fire, Rush, Stars, Coeur de Pirate, the list goes on...

Putting the question out there.

Good morning, and good luck.

(At least it was local morning when I wrote this.)

CBC Music's starting up another edition of their annual Searchlight competition, for those Canadians reading this with an eye on music as part of their income-earning or sanity-supporting programmes.

Details on their YouTube channel on how to enter.

With diligence and luck, Canada's music library will improve in both size and quality as a result. It usually does.

I wonder if this could have been the anthem for Star Trek: Enterprise, had it gotten that fifth season...
