Introducing #alternativeweekend. Post an article that highlights THREE great songs that are either progressive or alternative and use the tag #alternativeweekend.
If you have a short story or something to offer regarding an opinion on your songs, then share it with us!
It’s back to THREE choice cut’s this week; my brain is a little dry and out of ideas right now. Possibly it’s this man flu that I’m in the process of throwing off, hope fully for good.
Some of the people I’m working with are complaining that it’s hitting them for a second time, just two weeks later. Can a virus mutate this quickly?
At this rate, I’ll have to add a health tag to this post with all my ramblings. Let’s get with the music.
Abigail's Ghost - Thereafter
This band happen to be the first alphabetical one in my car and due to the quirky nature of my audio system, every time I add tunes it always starts playing the first song by the first band starting with ‘A’.
As a consequence, this tune managed to wrap itself round my head. The band has been likened with Porcupine Tree. I don’t hear the resemblance myself.
Portishead - Roads
I was big fan of this very strange band in the 90’s. Beth Gibbons looks emotionally stricken singing this one.
I always loved this very melancholy track from their most successfully debut album, ‘Dummy’. Here's a live version with a full orchestra. Don't listen to this if you are feeling a little down, it may not help you much.
Leftfield - Original
I do like those 90’s sounds every now and again. A friend pointed this song to me back in those days. It’s probably quirky enough to qualify for a spot here.
The 90's to me was the last decade to have an identity and a specific kind of sound. Do you agree?
In the spirit of
Pump up the volume, PLAY IT LOUD!
