Music Monday (feel free to add your own music)

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? So this week I thought I'd go for another hip-hop selection and introduce you to the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood were a UK hip-hop act whose debut album is widely regarded as one of the UK's top ten hip-hop albums, they were also best mates with some very good friends of mine. We used to get into all their gigs and then chill out backstage and at the after parties .. really good times! Love the beats and flow on this track and of course the hazy memories that they inspire. ;) I hope you enjoy!

It's been a while, so I thought I'd drop in with this one string street music masterpiece...I absolutely love it, and I hope you do too:)

Hey @palikari123 .. how have you been keeping my man? Hope you've been well? Awesome track and a testament to the fact that with musical skill, a bit of time and a six string in your hands .. you're capable of scaling heights of musical ingenuity that too often remain elusive to this era of mainstream over-produced, vapid pop music .. in short, an excellent and inspired choice this week my friend. Thank you for the music @palikari123 .. this was erm .. music to my ears?! In both a real and metaphorical sense of the word :D

Going OK, but could be better. That's life I suppose, which is why we need some musical and other distractions to get us back in the 'great' territory. Hope your OK, and I've really been enjoying reading your wonderful series of articles of late, even though my comments have been lacking 😉.

Hey my friend, Sorry to hear that .. equally, I've had a pretty shitty few months/year as well .. so I can relate. That is indeed life, but the downward spiral often means we're approaching the upwards loop de loop .. well that's what I tell myself anyway. ;) Thank you for the kind words dude, and really glad you enjoyed the posts .. no worries about the comments .. when you're feeling down I know it can be difficult to spread the love through the comment sections, just pleased you've taken the time to read and appreciate what I've taken the time to write. Thanks again mate!

Hey @sequentialvibe .. hope you've been well, Ah .. some electro synth-infused music from the dystopia. It was sort of that era of Mad Max and when the electro sound was beginning to come into its own .. and for me, certain aspects of these sounds feed upon that premise, and create a musical dystopia .. but certainly, it's no wasteland of imagination and indeed, with their new toys you can see them allowing their musical expression to run wild ;) Thank you for the music my friend .. enjoyed this blast from the past! :D

Yoyoyo I gotta a crazy dope fresh instrumental.. The technical capabilities demonstrated here are mind blowing with seamless changes to half time and stripped down syncopations within measures like I've never heard before..

Very nicely done my friend .. I concur with you analysis .. masters of their craft! And a dam fine track, digging the intricate layers cocooned within a profusion of chilled, jazzy beats! Awesome stuff and and inspired/leftfield choice this week @skramatters .. never heard of these guys before, but that is about to change! ;) Thank you for the music, and thank you for the introduction!

Don't thank me, we must give credit to spotify and their algorithms that expose me to this stuff I'd otherwise be oblivious to.

The discover weekly thing is just too cool for school. Especially since my tastes are all over the place. All the best to you and I appreciate your support and fine contributions to the chain.

I've still yet to find a more thought provoking, well-crafted content creator than yourself and have doubts I ever will..

Thank you for the kind words @skramatters .. I'm humbled and don't feel worthy of such praise, but really appreciate the spirit that you sent it with. Thanks again my friend.

Hell yah Monday!

I posted this in @jaynie's music friday post and think you should join forces.

You have inspired me to create a repeating post I will call something like CanCon or Hoser Rock. I will show you some music you had never heard of because it is Canadian, or show you stuff you didn't know was Canadian. Like this one!

Happy Monday dood!

Hey @zekepickleman .. hope you're well my friend .. cheers for the heads up I shall check out @jaynie's post. Mate I'm going misty eyed .. never been called an inspiration before lol but, jokes aside that's a great idea dude and I wish you every success .. look forward to seeing what you're posting. After the last few weeks I beginning to realise what an untapped (on the world scene) wealth of music you guys have .. and this track is no exception! Man, you know I love a bit of rock and air guitar!! :D Thanks for the music and (yet again) a great introduction my friend .. really enjoyed this one.

that was something alright @zekepickleman, very canucky

Sweet made it for this edition of Music Monday. Hope you are doing well @perceptualflaws. I'm coming to you with a tune I discovered not long ago, an absolute banger. Hope you enjoy :)

Hey @bengiles .. nice to see you my friend! All good here and likewise hope you've been keeping well! Love the mellow vibes of this track .. reminds me a bit of The Growlers (which is a great thing) .. that whole, chilled stoned 60's infused beach vibe kind of sound .. if that's a genre? lol Nice choice mate, I love new music and I shall enjoy taking a journey through their back catalogue. Thank you for the music .. this one was a listening pleasure!

Yea ur right very similar vibe to the growlers. Love me some chilled stoned 60’s infused beach vibe 👌 I think that’s definitely a genre! Great to hear ur doing well bro. I’m doing just fine myself thanks, work life is keeping me busy... busier than I’d like haha. But all in all life is good!

Joy Division anyone?

Hey @deirdyweirdy hope you've had a good week dude? Ah man, you can never go wrong with a bit of Joy Division and this is Ian Curtis at his dark and brooding best! Such a unique and brilliant sound, a real raw edge to it and an edginess that is lacking in modern music. Have you seen the film "Control"? I thought it was really good. Thank you for the music my friend .. an inspired choice this week!

Been a while since I've been able to participate in MM!

Pretty cool track, definitely a 90's vibe with the video and the lyrics!

I've been trying to remember to share this track with you, pretty cool one from a midwest lyricist!
