Did You Miss Me?
Of Course You Did!
Last week, I did the Oh look at me being hip and young thing.
Not this week.....
This week I will do a special, because I am special, and so was this week.
Those that read me, yes you..., know why this week.
This week, I found my way home, finally!
After being lost for so long...after trying to escape from Wonderland and leave the Garden, I finally found home.
The weirdest part.... I have never been home.
Now some might say:
Which is fairly unfair to someone like me who has never been home, it´s like saying:
Anyway, I found my home, let´s see if my heart will be there waiting for me.
Oh yes, ehh, for those who do not read me, I found the name of the place I will build and call home....and I am sure you already know what it´s called....this is just a tribute.

This week will not be hip, not be cool, not be K-Pop. We will be tripping, but tripping through the mists of Avalon.
Which, by the way, is a wonderful book even if you are not a girl, but let´s get lost in the mists first.
Celtic Music - Mists of Avalon
This Alan Walker guy has surprised me before; he makes something that even makes sense to my ancient mind and means a lot to me.
Alan Walker, Anne Gudrun - Avalon
Floating home on bass and treble....guiding me back to where I have never been...at least not wearing this human skinsuit.
Equador - Avalon (Sieren Remix)
OMG I was the first and the second to view this next gem, and it´s probably the favorite song taking me home.... How can this be?
What is the Universe telling me.....it whispers "Avalon."
Priestess of Avalon (Remix) · Rowan Lewgalon
Just let go...let it flow...flow down the rivers of Avalon....let the Lady guide you till you reach home.
Rhiannon Giddens - Avalon
You can not make it up, do you know what the album is called that holds this next little gem???
But let me save you the effort..."They are calling me home!"
Really, how many Signals & Signs do I need???
OMG I feel like I am running into another Gem, did you know Avalon was this popular?
I can´t ignore it, I feel it .... I am setting sail to Avalon...eyes closed and letting the mist and music guide me.
Darren Kiely - Avalon
Now, I am good at finding Gems nobody knows, I admit that much and that is what makes me infamous because very few give a flying cockroach....but what if it was a flying Zephyr... going down the rivers of Avalon?
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Rivers of Avalon (The Zephyr Song B-Side)
Damn their B-Sides rock AF.
Never knew Avalon could be that cool....and neither did you, did you?
Avalon is not a Dusty old place in a book that has been closed for decades; it´s my Kingdom to Build.
It represents everything I stand for, so badly that I created The Code Of Avalon
When everything was gone...I went to Avalon.
Professor Green - Avalon ft. Sierra Kusterbeck
Tainted Grail bring me here. I was just listening in the main menu and my jaw just drop off. I couldn't stop listening, what a beauty.
Danheim - Ymir
ENCORE
And now....the song...at least one of you has been waiting for....Avalon! You know who you are, and I will not disappoint you this week.
Roxy Music - Avalon
What Song to Send My Son

It is a Dad's task To Teach His Blood Taste....and taste this week is: Priestess of Avalon (Remix)
Please try to change my mind! (if I still have one)
