Why DST is wrong for Alberta

Very disappointing. Because of our northern location and western offset from the Mountain time zone, this is the wrong choice for most of Alberta. calgaryherald.com/opinion/colu...

#NeObliviscaris are one of my recent addictions. Just got a copy of their first album on vinyl. MDM from Australia 🇦🇺 with a violin. It's an amazing album, but if you've got 12 minutes to spare, give "And plague flowers the kaleidoscope" a listen, so much going on in that track, I absolutely love it!

Celebrating the Prince of Darkness with his final album, the Grammy-winning Patient Number 9. The lead-off track "Immortal" is strangly prophetic, as while we're all only on this spinning rock for a while, it is our legacy that makes us immortal, and few have left a legacy quite like #Ozzy

In honor of #BastilleDay, spinning some classic Rush. The lead-off track of Caress of Steel is "Bastille Day". Good track, but "The Necromancer" that ends side 1 and "The Fountain of Lamneth" that takes up all of side 2 are standout tracks for me.
