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 felt a bit special, doing that summer Latin vibe thing.
This week I go and do something different. I will do a very normal Midnight Gems session with unexpectedly cool gems.
Just FYI if you don´t want to miss a show let me know in the comments and I add you to the tag list.
I had this album back in the day I might bring it up in a nineties post at some point soon, but they were songs in the key of X. They were all slightly weird but very cool and not connected at first glance but still they had this X factor.
That is the plan for today, weird song in the key of X. Let´s see if I can stick to the plan for once.
Let's not yet get ahead of ourselves and simply start at the beginning. I am not a serious believer but this is almost power pirate Celtic metal.
If you think you heard it before.... you must be a frequent visitor because I found this tune when writing:
My Musical Sunday School Sessions - Out Of Body Experiences happened in the Bible & Dead Sea Scrolls
In the Beginning - (with lyrics) by Joshua Spacht from Fantasia Noël 2
To balance it out I will play some Wendy O, I know I heard about her before but I never dove into her till a few weeks ago and damn look what that turned up.
Plasmatics - The Damned
We are all damned as long as we are salarymen trying to make a living in the big bad boss world. Eat the rich, great but how because I can not stick my knife or fork in them without getting arrested.
The Pill - Salaryman
Talking about eating the rich let the money game eat them all. Or should I be part of that money game, well not the one Ren is ranting about that´s for sure.
Ren - Money Game Part 3
Sometimes I am so deep in this rabbit hole I go wtf am I watching, I get this '70s Bowie feel but it must be me, anyway a little bit of crazy tranquility before I blow you away again.
Luki - Seven years below the flowers
Bimbo butthole tits okay 50 shades of creme Barbie she gots me, this is crazy, perfectly suited for little old and oiled up me.
The Pill - Bale of Hay
Get off my tractor because we are going AI.
As you know, or not I have my own ideas about most things. My pov on AI-generated music, who cares who created it if it´s cool I will listen to it.
Now I see a lot of AI-generated stuff but this one I really liked, feels like Doro Pesch is back.
Fightin' the Reaper - Phantom Clone
This guy was introduced to me by the guy who got me hooked on Ren, yup my flesh and blood, my little me. Thanks, Bud great sound
RUSTAGE - DREAMING ON
Latest single from the only person ever disqualified from the Eurovision Stalker Festival, but I think that makes you more famous than winning because anyone remembers who actually won or do you only remember that Irish witch?
PIMP & PIZZA 100% upvote for the first that comments on what tear-jerker they ripped off to create this song and it was not 1999 Luftballons by Nena.
This tune just makes me so happy, empowered, and angry at the same time I had to share although probably few peeps get it without translations.
Joost - Luchtballonen

Riddle Me This
Guess What, my riddle was solved it was all about pussy ehh cats.
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..... that´s 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 it´s 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.
