For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.
This is my show.
This is where you need to go.
For Tonight I am your DJ
Last weekend I was listening to my latest playlist and it was so good, so much better than when some idiot is typing all over that great feel of a musical journey.
So if you have that same feeling just skip to the Youtube & Spotify playlist and forget about my rambles.
Oh and feel free to ask to be tagged so you have an insanely good playlist to listen to every weekend.
All right after all the bombastic epicness from last week let?s do it differently this week. And I think different might become the keyword tonight because there is so much good music out there...so tonight some different gems and Nothing Else.
Archive - Nothing Else
That was a great sleepy start if you ask me and this is just as nice, like warm oil on your skin.
Affection - Cigarettes After Sex
Came across this classic earlier this week in a cover, and it was so nicely done that I just had to look up the original
Peter Gabriel - Book of Love
Before I put you all to sleep let?s take a little nighttime walk and listen to another golden oldie in a slightly different version.
Walk On The Wild Side - Lou Reed (Claptone /Carlo Rossi & The Organic Jam - improvised Edit)
Now let?s keep walking on that wild side, hand in hand with Fever Ray, I mean if we are talking about being different.....
Now let?s keep walking on that wild side, hand in hand with Fever Ray, I mean if we are talking about being different.....
Fever Ray - 'What They Call Us'
Well let's see if I can keep up that different sound all through the night and still play the most wonderful gems for you. I think this next one fits the mood perfectly.
Phantogram "When I'm Small"
Trying to build this weird night bit by bit and you might hate me for it, but I love to end the night with a bang so I will need to add a bit more pepper to the mix. Still, this song is very different from what you expect from a guy wearing eyeliner. These guys are worth checking out, great mix of styles.
Blue October - Hate Me
If you enjoy mixing and messing up styles you are in for a treat tonight, Infinien does it infinitely better than most.
iNFiNiEN - 'Beyond the Veil'
If that didn?t push you out of your comfort zone and made you listen I don?t know what will.... well I probably do but I will not play that on this show. I would like to keep at least one or two listeners by the end of this journey.
Anyway, if you survived that you are in for a treat now. Best Intro EVER GNR=GOAT!!!!!! But I wouldn?t be me if I wouldn?t do it a little differently.
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses (Fingerstyle Guitar Cover) | Josephine Alexandra
Nice and so much easier to digest, guess Rock & Roll sounds like easy listening tonight. So let?s see if adding some storm might blow us away one final time.
Let's have a little encore because I made you sit through all this differentness, or is it because I want to show off by also adding some classical notes to the trip?
EncoreVivaldi - Storm | Fantastische bandura en accordion
What the fluff are midnight gems?
Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that?s the place where midnight gems are found.
My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.
Who the fluff am I?
Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it?s time to finally take it to the streets.
Hope you enjoyed this well-known wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
