Midnight Gems -Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 49 "Weirder Things"

image.png

For those of you who are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.

Last week we had those lovely power metal pirates. So tonight I needed to make sure to take the wrong turn down the rabbit hole. I could not go straight, I needed to go wherever as long as its a bit different and weird.

Sometimes I feel like I am back in the old days when I would get a burned CD and the request if I could play one of the songs during a gig. Depending on the quality and taste I would or wouldn´t but I did try to lean more toward fitting it in when possible.

Since I started this show it happened like two or three times but I got another this week and a brilliant one. @ablaze was asking for a friend who was planning to build a boat.

With that accent and those strings I am sold from minute 1.

Thomas Chambers - Build a Boat

It´s weird but I listened to that boat song several times and this 3rd time it just gave me goosebumps. It´s been a while since a song did that, so great compliment there.

That was it for the normal part of the show Dear Reader, as of now things will only get weirder and weirder. Which is better than dumber and dumber but sounds the same to me.

Ball Park Music - Weirder & Weirder

Let we warn you so you can´t blame me, it must be the moon, but I am in the strangest mood. Not my usual self, not melodramatic, nor melancholic, but a little hunted, a little stranger looking for a brave new world.

Food For Thought - Stranger In A Strange Land (Iron Maiden cover)

That stranger the better, and Nick and a piano all by his lonesome in a huge palace-like place is exactly the mood I am in tonight. Damn this version is so pure, so precisely how I like Nick.

Nick Cave - Stranger Than Kindness (Live at Alexandra Palace, 2020)

But it would not be my show if I did not change everything around just when you were getting comfortable. Still, this intro fits so perfectly with how Cave left us and then we go in a totally different direction.

Adana Twins - Strange (Acid Pauli & NU Remix)

People are strange indeed, and walking down the street you meet the weirdest ones. Just like this rabbit hole I am into today gives me this weird take on an awesome song about strange people.

Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger (New Ultra Mix Version) Vito Kaleidoscope Music Bis

Now after bringing back memories, let's make some new ones. This strange little song popped up while I was letting myself be dragged down and I still don´t know what to make from it but it will allow us 2 minutes to reflect till the weirdness starts again.

Emilien Levistre & Xiaoxi Levistre - Strange Little Thing

Strangeness is in the eyes of the beholder, and this next one is a sick gem in more ways than I have discovered so far.

Shpongle - A Strange Planet

And if that was not enough I am gonna go out with a bang tonight, a modern version of the Timelords Doctor in the Tardis song although why it feels like that I don´t know but I hear Dr Who Dr Whoooooo.

Acid on Sphere - Strange Things

Riddle Me This

Guess What, my riddle has been solved. You are too late to make a easy dollar, better luck next time!

What the fluff is 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.

So, Ablaze inspired you to bring this awesome song about a boat? Haha, this is very good. I do like the story behind the first song, and the music itself is beautiful with the lyrics.

...and the third music too is legit. I also like the robotic speech that started, A strange planet. Haha, the music is unique.
