Music Monday (feel free to add your own music)

avatar
(Edited)

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

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 amount 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 has enjoyed a really good week? I hope everyone is well, sorry I missed #musicmonday last week! I've was away (with no internet) and my journey took longer than anticipated. Aside from that, I've been carrying out some work at and attending music festivals over the summer (I have a post planned which will discuss my observations) so I have had a summer of live music!

One of the standouts for me was Jurrasic 5's Chali 2NA paired with DJ Krafty Kuts .. what a gig, what an MC and what a DJ!! Seen both (separately) before, but this was a special night, they had the crowd in the palm of their hands and were firing on all cylinders. It was about one in the morning when they dropped a remix of J5's classic Concrete Schoolyard, and it blew the roof off. Whilst I don't have a copy of that remix (or Krafty's body-popping moves) to share, it inspired me to post the original .. I hope you enjoy!

Loving the J5, we had a public holiday here so it felt like a double Sunday if that makes sense 🤔.. When you don't have a real Monday there's no case of the Monday's but good tunes are always welcome as are the flaws of the perceptual...

Cheers and here is my Monday no blues allowed offering on Tuesday at 5am when I should be fast asleep

Hey dude .. long time no speak! Hope you've been keeping well, and life has been good!? The embers of summer are slowly dying (well they are in Blighty .. in fact, we could be in for a winter of discontent lol) so I should have a bit more of a presence on here .. how is the hardfork going? or shouldn't I ask? lol

Yeah, I'm a big fan of those double Sunday thingies lol in fact, I enjoyed one just last weekend .. life is for living! :) Man, you've picked a blinder this week my friend .. a feel-good track that can warm the coldest of hearts and raise a smile upon the scowliest of faces, also one of my all time favourites .. well chosen!! Thanks for the music my friend, just what the Dr ordered! :)

Indeed it's been too long! Good on you for soaking up a good store of that vitamin d shining down from above. Hopefully you can catch the last embers and ride them through the discontentment of winter..Though more of your perceptions will be welcomed.

I'm doing just fine and dandy the HF has actually given me some glimmers of hope and a sense of solidarity with those not looking to burn this mother down.. I am having to bounce between a few front ends as a mobile user to steem on but I've decided to hang up my bitching and moaning cap. Going to use honey instead of the piss and vinegar that supplied my satirical antagonist prose.

Jackie Wilson is tough to top with higher and higher, it's absolutely an elevated classic that will sit upon it's lofty perch for as long as songs fill the air.. Glad you enjoyed it my friend.

I think you will do well by the new economics here, I've noticed a few of the old guard that stayed true to their content and are now enjoying some hefty curation from whales that were waiting for any reason at all to not self vote or whatever...

Hey @deirdyweirdy .. hope you've been well my friend? Hopefully, finding time to bathe in the dying rays of summer! Glad you enjoyed my choice this week! :) I've been listening to a fair bit of Irish hip-hop lately, so coming up I'll have some more to share. Plus I saw a Waterford dance act (King Kong Company) a few weeks back and they went down very well!! :) Equally, digging your choice this week, great flow .. and appreciating the irony in his statements! :) Thanks for the music @deirdyweirdy .. another Irish rapper to check out, thank you for the intro!!

I feel like I have missed music Monday for a month. What a crazy summer.

A few guys from our hockey team dressed up like shiny idiots and played Beegees at a music festival. If I have to have this song stuck in my head, so do you. Those crazy crazy nights.

Hey my friend! Hope you've been well? Good to see you back! And no worries, been a good but manic summer here also and it's been difficult to focus my attention and find the time needed to steem .. hence I can very much relate! :) Haha the song is now very much stuck in my head .. although it doesn't feel complete without the accompanying vision of your shininess! lol Actually, for those in the know ;) lol this is a bit of a disco classic and one I thank you for sharing .. now where is my medallion and white suit when I need it?? lol Thanks for the music and the trip down my disco-infused memory lane @zekepickleman Much appreciated!! :D

Here's mine....
I wrote a review on RIDE's latest album last week, and this is the current single.

Best of all, as I was checking out the videos, I noticed someone said in the comments that they were touring.... and sure enough, they're playing here (Melbourne, Australia) this Thursday!!!

I got me a ticket, and going to see them!!! One vey, very happy old shoegazer here! 😏🙏🏽🎸

Have you thought about adding the #musicmonday posts to #tunes or #sonicgroove?

Thanks for stopping by @metametheus .. wit regards to #tunes & #sonicgroove .. thanks for the heads up, to be honest, it's been a manic summer so I haven't been able to devote as much time as I would have liked to #steemit .. but yes, great idea!

I've never head of Ride before, but this track really takes me back to my college years, those carefree hazy crazy endless summers of fun, music and free expression. They have a really nice uplifting sound and great melodies .. so I will enjoy looking into their back catalogue! Hope you have a great gig, I simply love live music .. the interaction and the energy of the crowd .. priceless! Hmmm where is my bank card?? lol Thank you for the music my friend .. this was a pleasure to listen to.
