John Prine - Angel from Montgomery. What magic Bonnie Raitt, Dave Matthews, and so many others do with this song still comes back to John’s beautiful songwriting.

Chris Thile and Michael Daves: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert. Can Bluegrass be young and cool? With “Jude Law” on mandolin, yes.

The signup form also asks: “Why do you ski?” Why, I thought… it’s been so many years, since I was two years old, every fall I get impatient, every winter since I’ve slid down hills, and the cycle continues. My answer:

A mountain is a craggy, unforgiving, inhospitable, massive thing. But cover it with layers of snow and me with skis and it’s a maneuverable playground, of mostly soft landings, smooth gliding, and bursts of yelling. But it’s still unpredictable and the gift for a lifetime.

Here’s to winning.

Talk about it. http://noahbloom.com/2011/11/movember-talk-about-it/ http://noahbloom.com/2011/11/movember-talk-about-it/#comments Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:05:20 +0000 Noah http://noahbloom.com/?p=189 I finally decided to grow a moustache, but don’t worry — it’s temporary and for a cause! The month of November is also know as “Movember” — a genuine campaign to bring awareness to men’s health and prostate cancer. It’s serious business:

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. It accounts for over a quarter (27%) of new cancer cases in men. Even 1 in 7 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Yet prostate cancer is over 90% curable.

So I’m walking around with a moustache these days, and it’s an excellent catalyst to get people talking about these issues and opening up about men’s health in general.

I just set up a page online to accept donations. I’m really looking mostly to be part of the swarm of moustache-laden men talking about Movember, but happy to have my page as a donation page for Prostate Cancer Canada and Movember.

Thanks for your support — I don’t do this often (or often enough).

The False Creek loop in Vancouver is a hugely popular running route, about 9km, uninterrupted path running. And here she is. Let’s see some Strava times on here!

Charles Bradley - Why Is It So Hard (Live on KEXP). Otis Redding died in 1967, way too young at the age of 26, in a plane crash. Now where did this guy Charles Bradley come from, who evokes the funk and soul like Otis? If it’s raining wherever you are today, listen to this great track.
