This week’s Two For is from my indie rock “boyfriend” Colin Meloy and The Decemberists.

The final Mary song for the year is Mary, Mary So Contrary by Can.

And your famous Mary is Mary Stewart.

I love reading Arthurian legends and certainly enjoyed her Merlin series. She’s also famous for writing crime, gothic and romance fiction.

Vic Chesnutt

So sad to read this. Vic Chesnutt was one of my Mary Monday selections. Listen here.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday!

Argh! It’s hard picking just two songs. I want more! I guess I can cheat a bit by posting songs from a band and solo band members.

Enjoy these two songs from one of my favourites, Robyn Hitchcock.

I’ve been busy posting tons ‘o things that I like on tumblr. Stop by for a quick visit.

This week’s song is Now Mary by the White Stripes.

Your famous Mary is the pirate Mary Read.

Arrrgh! ‘Tis the swashbuckling life fer me!
