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 cool, laid back and oozes style ..a bit like myself :D (that might be wishful thinking lol). I'm not at home as I've been staying with family over the weekend, so I may take a little longer than usual upvoting and commenting .. but I'll get there. Advance notice that there will be no #musicmonday next week as I will be away. Anyway I hope you enjoy my choice.
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
I guess this song always takes the blues away. Nothing like vitamin D & sun rays on your face on a Monday! Plus I dig what Blu is saying in this. Also, Jontel, is actually Miguel when he was younger.
Thank you for this @kaykunoichi .. a shower of great music to wash away the blues of the day, just what I needed! One things for sure, sun rays on my face have been a rare commodity in the UK over the last few months :) Thank you for the music!
Hey @zekepickleman Excellent stuff, your friend is a very talented man. I really enjoyed this and I equally enjoyed how much they so clearly loved playing it .. once music captures your soul it holds it for a lifetime. Hope you had a great weekend my friend.
Glad you enjoyed it! I played hockey and drank beer with Dave long before I ever heard a Rheos song and am more of metal guy. We recorded our second album as a band in the basement studio in the drummer's house as well.
First song that came to mind and I know there are a lot of people who really love them.
Dope Kingston freestyle over a LIVE beat by ManuDigital. Featuring Junior Cat and his crew. It's a bit long but super fun and keeps you engaged... especially the weed deal that occurs midsong if you pay attention.
Man! Kicking lyrical gymnastics like no other .. I just love the spontaneity of it, they look they're having so much fun and it really resonates through the music. Just the lift I needed tonight, thank you for the music @patriciorayaz
Hey my friend, what a vocalist! What a beautifully chilled slice of musical nirvana, a perfect way to wash away a busy day. Thank you for the music @deliberator .. it's much appreciated!
Well your choice of song seems really great and off course melodious. Here is my entry and i would love run my Monday with this awesome cultural song of the region.
Singer: Nadia Hassan
Hey @salmanbukhari .. this is why I love #musicmonday for your never know what you're going to get next and it's so cool to hear such a wide variety. Excellent stuff my friend, thank you for sharing .. I really do appreciate it.
I am obliged after getting the appreciation from your end. This is a wonderful initiative you took to put all type of a music under s single blog. You are genuinely promoting the true spirit of music @perceptualflaws <3
Nice! I love the little picture in picture action. You voice is great !!!!! Nice guitar.... and you even have nicer curtains. Lol great entertainment, I would jam with you for sure.
Man, that was brilliant! You are the master of so many styles it really is a joy to behold .. seriously words don't suffice, and it's not often I'm lost for words :) You constantly remind me how much I love the guitar and equally how much I wish I'd learned to play it! Thank you for the music @andrewmarkmusic
Thank you, sir:) But perception is everything:D and I consider myself a third-rate hack. This did come out of the grinder quickly though; Wednesday night it didn't exist in my mind and Thursday night I'm posting on here. It's definitely one I'll redo and get done pro next winter. Cheers!
Hey @sequentialvibe firstly, thank you for the comment win on your post, I really appreciate it. I must admit I've never heard these guys before, equally I've never heard anything quite like it before either .. they appear to have created a genre of their own. I really enjoyed this trip through an abstract musical hall of mirrors .. thank you for the music.
Hey, my friend thank you for carrying me away on a dreamlike synth-infused masterwork of musical mystery. In short another excellent choice! Thank you for the music @fadedhistory
This is a fantastic new "Steem Anthem" by my buddy @soundwavesphoton, he's an all over amazing dude. And this is but one of his fantastic works of art.
Enjoy <3
Hey @amymya great work here from @soundwavesphoton .. he's a great guy that has been known to grace #musicmonday with his presence every once in a while. On top of that he's seriously talented and this anthem is a testament to that fact! Excellent stuff and thank you for sharing.
Hey my friend, sorry for the delay in listening but I've been away and I've been catching up when I catch a minute. What a diverse range of musical choices you've made here my friend, it certainly keeps me guessing what you're going to post next! Excellent stuff and thank you for the music!
Hey @awakened-oracle sorry for the late reply but I've been away so I'm catching up on tracks as and when I can. I'm also really feeling this one, what a cool track .. brilliant stuff! I just love Outkasts eccentric funky hip hop style .. they really are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the music my friend, I really enjoyed this one!
Sorry for the delay in commenting but I've been away so I'm catching up on tracks as and when I can. I love the Buena Vista Social Club, the sound is just so cool and intoxicating .. I would love to see them in Cuba, it's a dream of mine :) On another note didn't they do an album with Ry Cooder at one stage? Thank you for the music @palikari
Muse - Time Is Running Out
I really like this song, very energetic and uplifting, the bass voice characterized by the added vocals of Matt Bellamy make this song become one of my favorites.

I got to hang with my buddy Dave this weekend so I spose I should post a song of his. Rheostatics! Live from a fews years ago.

5 minutes of extremely talented female vocals for you my friend this week.
Hey my friend, what a vocalist! What a beautifully chilled slice of musical nirvana, a perfect way to wash away a busy day. Thank you for the music @deliberator .. it's much appreciated!
As always you are most welcome, and always a pleasure to talk too, have a great weekend my friend.
Randy is one of my absolute favorites! I don't think anyone else could have done this song justice to this degree...
I feel I must agree with you.

Hope you guys would love it :)

Hey man, cool track! Very Q.T.:)
I rip a classic about the anti-christ in this one (the ultimate state man).
Nice! I love the little picture in picture action. You voice is great !!!!! Nice guitar.... and you even have nicer curtains. Lol great entertainment, I would jam with you for sure.

Hi lori, I appreciate the kind feedback:) Best wishes!
Going super RETRO today! Anybody know this band? So ahead of their time, they were ahead of themselves!

I haven't listened to them in a while until they popped into my head recently. Saw them in Toronto many times. This article just BLEW MY MIND!
https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/cannabis-and-the-sound-of-music-what-laibach-learned-in-north-korea-20150825
I couldn't make this up!
Wow great article @sequentialvibe it just goes to show that we're equally victims of propaganda and that there are always two sides to every story.
Yah the article seriously blew my mind. Laibach have their priorities right....move somewhere that serves beer like soda pop!
Here is my pick for the week
Chromatics- Shadow
Hey, my friend thank you for carrying me away on a dreamlike synth-infused masterwork of musical mystery. In short another excellent choice! Thank you for the music @fadedhistory
I'm glad you enjoyed it friend!

I missed this last week and didn’t even get around to doing a late contribution. So here’s two for the price of one, no explanations in advance:

Glad you enjoyed it! No worries! Music is awesome because it has no barrier except for the individual mind.
I've been really feeling outcast/andre'3000's "Idlewild Blue (Don't Chu Worry 'Bout Me)" Seems like a good song for this season...

I just love Outkasts eccentric funky hip hop style .. they really are a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the music my friend, I really enjoyed this one!
No problem about the timing, like andre' says we're staying afloat in these sidereal piscean waters. I'm glad you enjoyed it...
Buena Vista Social Club - El Cuarto de Tula

No problem...you did say in your post that you won't be around:) And the answer is yes, for Ry Cooder!
