    I just submited my PhD dissertation today. I randomly watched Shad's episode from Amoeba's "What's in my bag?" series and came accross this song. I like it

    Something about the way he writes songs that when he hit he hits hard. Sure would like to meet him one day and say thanks for sharing virtue with us.

      If you haven't heard them I recommend his band The Weakerthans. They're so good. :)

      I suggest getting into The Weakerthans first if you can. You have a lot of catching up to do as the people have said.

      His songs tend to have recurring themes, and even recurring settings and characters to a degree. I'd suggest starting from the beginning with the "Fallow" album by the Weakerthans, and going from there.

      Weakerthans, AND my favourite Propagandhi record. Less talk, more rock

    Sounds Familiar on "Fallow."
    Left and Leaving on "Left and Leaving."
    ...Night Windows.
    ...Sun in an Empty Room.
    ...Tournament of Hearts.
    ...This is a Fire Door Never Leave Open.
    ...Heart of the Continent.
    And now this. Whatever stage I'm at in life, John Samson has a very timely song for it.

    Nice voice, and the instrumental really fits it.
    This song feels like a rainy afternoon in London.

      I'm preparing one too but not comfortably though...despite doing this so many times I feel there is little or no improvement...why am I doing this? Found the same thoughts on the Web from a professor somewhere in Europe during the 17th century, struggling with his presentations and little believe in himself...I guess some people are just feeling this way about themselves and their capacity...

    So your presentation went terrible
    All wrong dongles, sweat stains and stares
    Leave the TV on with the sound down low, in your underwear
    Don't despair, you'll get it right tomorrow night in Thunder Bay, maybe
    Don't delay, your day is short, you can't afford to wait
    I believe in you and your Powerpoint
    I know why you can't stay awake
    Out on Highway 1 with a rental car, and a lot to say
    Don't despair, you'll get it right tomorrow night in Nipigon, maybe
    Don't delay, our day is short, you can't afford to wait
    So take that laminate out of your wallet and read it
    And recommit yourself to the healing of the world
    And to the welfare of all creatures upon it
    Pursue a practice that will strengthen your heart
