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 it’s 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.
Hey I hope everyone has enjoyed a great weekend! My choice this week is for me a sublime mixture of meaning and metaphor from the multi-layered lynguistic gymnasts otherwise known as Hail Mary Mallon ;) .. I hope you enjoy.
This isn't about making me Steem so please save your upvotes and reward the songs that you feel are worthy, although equally if my song stands out to you then I'd appreciate the vote. Any resteems would be much appreciated, all are invited and welcomed to join us in sharing and listening to a diverse range of music.
Many thanks for taking the time and consideration to read this post. Any upvotes, follows and resteems are greatly appreciated. Follow @perceptualflaws
Happy Monday dude....
OMG I love this track, although it’s hard not to hear Peter Griffin’s voice when I play it now.
This band are as quirky as I’ve ever seen but sooooo cool..... The B52’s - Rock Lobster. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ofkzvM7Skxg Awesome!
Fro those of you who’ve never seen the Peter Griffin version, here you go......
Hey dude .. hope you've had a great weekend! A belated Happy Birthday from me :) I haven't heard this in a long time and I had forgotten how good it was, eccentric, completely nuts and all the better for it! :D Another great choice and the Peter Griffin take is hilarious!! :D :D Thank you for the music @tremendospercy
Hey @fadedhistory I'm good thank you and I'm hoping the same can be said for you? Another brilliant choice my friend, I'm loving the vibe on this one .. kind of a cool retro Gary Newman vibe going on, and from me that's high praise. Thank you for the music my friend, excellent stuff!
Ha I remember this very well :D One of my good friends used to DJ with these guys back in the day (around this time) and they are still good friends. This track and the era from which it evolved will always hold a special place in my heart and I'm so glad that I was there .. right at the forefront of perhaps one of the last great youth rebellions ;) Thank you for sharing my friend .. I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane and I'm glad you liked my choice.
Oh man it would be so cool to hang out with these genius maniacs! I heard Keith Flint bought the mansion next to his, gutted it and has parties all the time. The convergence of punk and techno in Fat of the Land changed music for me forever! I have worn out more shoes dancing to this band than straight up walking!
I hadn't heard that .. but it certainly wouldn't surprise me, I will have to check and see if my mate ever gets an invite ;) Yes that crossover was inspired andin my humble opinion is in a class of it's own and has still yet to be equaled. The last time I saw them was above .. I'm at the front :D
Awesome that you were there! I saw them at a rave in the early 90s (Chemistry I think - but how can one remember those details) and then on the Invaders Must Die tour and man that was NUTZ!
Hey my friend, hope you're well? Thank you for this inspired choice of music .. it's an absolute classic!! What a man, what a talent! Perfect way to ease me into my morning. Thank you for the music @cmplxty I really enjoyed this one.
The Roots and Mos Def! You really can't go wrong and this is an inspired choice of music .. I haven't heard these guys in ages and so I really enjoyed this trip down memory lane .. especially as much of modern hip hop has lost it's way :( Thank you for the music @hrissm
Those are pretty much my exact feelings when hearing this song. I must give a bit of credit to @katayah for sending me a song by The Roots which led me to this track. If it wasn’t actually this specific track that she sent to me.
No my friend you made it in time, and I'm very glad you did because ... Ah man I love Clutch! .. I was only listening to gone cold over the weekend .. excellent stuff!! Loving the no nonsense vibe on this one .. thank you for sharing my friend, I really enjoyed this track. Happy Monday to you @zekepickleman
Hey my friend what a great choice!! I haven't heard any Supertramp in ages either and so this was a very welcome reminder of their musical brilliance .. thank you for the music @andrewmarkmusic this is an archetypal forgotten gem, excellent stuff.
hey @palikari123 another inspired choice my friend and one that pretty much captures the essence of the world at this moment in time. We live in dark times my friend .. but it's always darkest before dawn and the human spirit will never be broken! Thank you for music @palikari123
Hey my friend, hope you've had a good weekend .. as you know it's the bank holiday here so I've been out and about. Obviously I have yet to listen to the whole album, but I know it very well and the first 20 minutes have reminded me what a fantastic album it is!! I will be sure to listen to it in it's entirety and I thank you for the music @deliberator
My friend you are always most welcome, have a great holiday weekend, every day is a holiday for me, I am just a lucky plucker though. steem on bro steem on, 1 day we will be legends, maybe, ish. :-)
Hey @kittyandcheese yes I have to agree .. this is such a exquisite song, the beauty is palpable and the message profound .. restrained and yet the emotion goes straight to the heart, a balancing act of pure genius. Thank you for sharing this .. it's going to help me finish my latest post.
Very awesome! It's great to see such a wide variety of music. We don't know if this counts or not, but today we released a rock orchestra piece we composed called Rise of the Croc-Bots (based on our upcoming kids comic book series).
So glad we came across this project. Can't wait till next Monday. :)
Hey my friend, yes it certainly counts and is a very worthy submission .. always great to see and hear the projects that people are working on .. thank you for sharing!
A song against the crusade. The Western world declared war on humanity. Killing for dissent. For a different skin color. Kill for other thoughts. Kill for another religion. Kill for another section of the eye. NATO troops are compared with the Crusaders. Compare verses. A NATO soldier for any free country in the world is a murderer, rapist and occupier.
Text in verse.
Stay still alive. We were not eager to fight. But we will defend our home. Wait this world is not yours. According to the music video, the invading armies of the savages of the Crusaders are being destroyed. So it was 1000 years ago. So it will be now. The savagery and debauchery of the Western world will be stopped. People will live with other beliefs. People with a different color of eyes and skin color will live. Nazism will once again be destroyed.
Here i am sharing a very romantic and wonderful song of the Bollywood. I am sure you guys would love the composition and the expressions of the Stars ;)
Happy Monday dude....

I hope you're doing well @perceptualflaws!
Here's my pick for the week:
Tones on Tail- Performance
I remember getting this as a vinyl single and going....hey this isn't Tones On Tail....but it was....and I listened to it loud in a Trans Am! Love it!
Hey @fadedhistory I'm good thank you and I'm hoping the same can be said for you? Another brilliant choice my friend, I'm loving the vibe on this one .. kind of a cool retro Gary Newman vibe going on, and from me that's high praise. Thank you for the music my friend, excellent stuff!
This video is ALL ABOUT THE DANCING! Happy Monday!
PS. Killer track @perceptualflaws!

The weather here is crummy so it this post made me think of one of my absolute favorite Johnny Cash songs - the wanderer
Hey my friend, hope you're well? Thank you for this inspired choice of music .. it's an absolute classic!! What a man, what a talent! Perfect way to ease me into my morning. Thank you for the music @cmplxty I really enjoyed this one.

Mos Def is most def. one of my faves.
Ah there it is! Would you believe I was driving home from a couple client appointments wondering if I missed the music post?
I have loved the rockin heaviness of Clutch over 20 years. Still crankin out the tunes ever since and one of the best kept secrets around.
Had to share.
Happy Monday @perceptualflaws!
No my friend you made it in time, and I'm very glad you did because ... Ah man I love Clutch! .. I was only listening to gone cold over the weekend .. excellent stuff!! Loving the no nonsense vibe on this one .. thank you for sharing my friend, I really enjoyed this track. Happy Monday to you @zekepickleman
This one is a little newer and equally as rockin!
This classic album may be congruent with the theme of this channel...
I haven't listened to this in ages:
Cheers!
Hey my friend what a great choice!! I haven't heard any Supertramp in ages either and so this was a very welcome reminder of their musical brilliance .. thank you for the music @andrewmarkmusic this is an archetypal forgotten gem, excellent stuff.
Alpha Blondy - Peace in Liberia
hey @palikari123 another inspired choice my friend and one that pretty much captures the essence of the world at this moment in time. We live in dark times my friend .. but it's always darkest before dawn and the human spirit will never be broken! Thank you for music @palikari123
Value my friend value, have 1 hour plus, on me.

Happy Monday! This is one of the most beautiful songs I know.
Nick Cave is an alien genius who came to earth and has made my life better since the 1980s! From the Birthday Party to this. Amazing!
Hey @kittyandcheese yes I have to agree .. this is such a exquisite song, the beauty is palpable and the message profound .. restrained and yet the emotion goes straight to the heart, a balancing act of pure genius. Thank you for sharing this .. it's going to help me finish my latest post.
Glad you like it and happy to help.
I realized afterwards that The Witness Song might be more appropriate for Steemit. : )
