Music Monday (feel free to add your own tracks)

avatar

The aim is simple, to banish those Monday blues with an eclectic range of music chosen by Steemit friends both old and new.

Music Monday.jpg

Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture its true essence.

As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the number of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying a good start to the week. So it's Monday .. time to tune in, turn off the background noise and chillout! Actually, this track isn't that chilled but I'm sure you catch my drift ;) The vocalist is a good friend of mine from back in the old traveller illegal rave days, and some of the video is taken at the criminal justice march/riot that I've previously written about. Many years since our paths have crossed, but great to see him keeping the ethos and the spirit alive. I hope you enjoy!

Ha good to see you dude, Happy Monday! Great choice .. been a while since I've heard this classic track, and it's certainly not one you could ever tire of hearing .. in fact, it sounds far fresher than much of what masquerades as hip hop these days. Thank you for the music my friend .. really enjoyed this iconic blast from the past!

Maybe the internet police have cyber blocked blocked me and re-directed my connection into a different compartmentalised faction of the interwebs!

Yeah both steempeak and peakd block me watching videos, probably because we're both in Europe.

She's definitely been varied over the years, I choose this tune mostly for it's title, seems to fit the present state we are in.

Your welcome bro, hope you are all well, and not letting boring Boris and his militant police force grind you down.

It will take a lot for Doris and his donkeys to grind me down, I'm nicely tucked away and thus nothing much has changed. :)

Congrats for the initiative!
Sharing our favorite music is a good way to expand our horizon.
I also like music that's reality oriented:


What do you think about it?

Hey no worries .. glad you like :) Nice track .. not one I've heard before, but appreciating the sound and the message. I'll have to take a look at what else they've done. Thank you for the music and the introduction my friend ..a great selection!

I agree: getting the message across is simple, when we use music:
