20210504_140532.jpg

There I was nonchalantly flicking through some posts from friends and it's a good job too, as we are in the 'day-of-the-week-twilight-zone' and I hadn't a clue it was Tuesday, which means I may well have missed a Tuesday for the first time in 82 weeks! So thanks @tengolotodo, @coquicoin and @princessbusayo as it was your posts I spotted!

It's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?

Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you good folks too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Walshstown to Washington DC doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same.

It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.

This is my 83rd week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.

It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!

Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.

We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find three or five hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.

I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.

For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....

The jist is as follows

Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.

Here are my week eighty three recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday

** Drum roll please.....**

Rage Against The Machine - Bombtrack

Rage Against The Machine were that 90s band that your mother wished you didn't listen to. They were loud, used bad language and I thought they were class. Let's take a little audio trip down memory lane, shall we?

Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name Of

Killing in the Name Of was the main single from Rage Against The Machine's 1992 self titled album Rage Against The Machine. It was inspired by the police brutality suffered by Rodney King and the subsequent 1992 Los Angeles riots in USA.

There was a great nightclub in Galway called Cuba that used to play songs like this and Smells Like Teen Spirit on full sound. Those were some days, moshing our little heads off to these classics.

Rage Against The Machine - Freedom

I'll leave you with another song from their defining 1992 debut album. This was the fourth and final single from this album.

ThreeTune Spotify Playlist

Our good friend and regular Three Tune Tuesday poster @blackdaisyft added some tunes to a playlist in the early days and there are around 600 tunes there which is class. You can check those out here:

Ahhhhh, thanks a million, always so kind! Happy new year, I hope 2023 is your best yet.

Rage Against the Machine was everything. My friends liked them a lot. However I never felt completely comfortable listening to their music. It's not there to make people comfortable but to make people awoken.

Ya they were pretty popular back in the day, that's for sure and most of them are in Audioslave as well, another band well worth a listen..

These are definitely not Christmas tunes! 😂

Seriously, I love how music can be used for protest and to bring to light social injustice. And with these chaps it's all in the name of the group, too.

These are definitely not Christmas tunes!

You can say that again!! Cheers man

Hehehe... I am glad you didn't miss the last Tuesday for #ttt
Those songs have been long and I love the vibe in those songs especially the second tune.

Happy new year in advance 🎉🎉🎉

Same to you. Glad you enjoyed rocking out to these tunes. They would not be everybodies cup of tea as they are quite heavy.

Rage against the machine....
They seem fun 😊😂

 last year  

Yep, they are pretty nuts in fairness. Do you like them or not?

Well..
My tastes in music do differ at times..

Brilliant band!
And I can't believe you almost missed it...
I know what you mean about the twilight zone, Merry Christmas and I hope you had a good one!
