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 I did an amazing set, or at least that is what I thought. But somehow it was not or nobody noticed it. Maybe I am just getting soft, and you Dear Reader are not. Hence This week I will serve you something more masculine, and I hope itยดs not an acquired taste.
I was talking about white and the whitest rappers yesterday:
And this guy would fit well in being the whitest list, but as heยดs not ยด90s I needed to wait a day to press play!
Tom MacDonald - Everybody Needs Me
But really no matter what you say...you can call me the B word but white rap never got any better than this.
Eminem - Stan Live Ft. Dido
That Has Me Lost For Words So; Mic Drop
Been a big fan of Napalm Records for years, it's almost a guarantee for good noise. But it seems that just like me they have turned a bit soft over time.
But hell yeah, this is such a sexy ballad, goosebumps cool.
SCOTT STAPP ft. DOROTHY - If These Walls Could Talk
Now these guys almost not made my cut. I kept this doubt after playing it a first, a second, a third time. It felt like a simple Green Day song with a bit of Blink 182. But something is so tasty, lyrics that I want to scream, a guitar riff that is unrecognizable good and a freaking strong build up.
It hit me and kept falling down on me. I am not insane, I just get paranoid...yup that is me.
The Rainfall - Freaking Out
Okay, this is RHCP 2.0!
Talking about an own sound, I hear Linkin Park, RHCP, and some Muse synths and sounding quite a bit different than they did 3 years ago.
PALAYE ROYALE - Showbiz
Overdoing it is not always a bad thing, this next intro is so much too much that itยดs soo good, and then that 80s hair-rock explosion after a minute.This is Old School Done So Well.
Black Smoke Trigger - Perfect Torture
Alright back to my new normal, just a bite of comfort zone food for my ears, please.
Damn, that intro, that gets my ears pumping from the second second. It is probably the best part of the song, till the end when that little dubstep is the cherry on top.
ENEMY INSIDE - What We Used To Be
I don't cancel people, people cancel people. I might not like what you did in your private life Michael. But it doesn't stop me from appreciating good music.
Now I heard that MM was back, and the first thing I heard was that red flag song. Definitely a red flag and not my cup of blood. But with all my sick secrets and love for epic bombastic tunes, this one was quite digestible.
Marilyn Manson - As Sick As The Secrets Within
Not ending with a bang, but with a beauty even if you donยดt understand a single German word this sailor's revenge story is a drama of the top shelf.
By the way, if you love epic German drama these guys are the absolute best, such a rich tasty dessert to end this trip tonight.
JANUS | Die Rache des Seemanns

Riddle Me This
Guess What, my riddle did not get solved!
Really it was easy as pie, or pi whatever is easier but to make it even easier easy as hp.
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..... thatยดs 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 itยดs 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.
