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 have nothing to say about last week except for this. Dear Mr Putin if you are gonna throw bombs this way EBU first Sweden second please? (He likes it if you say please)
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.
What a shitshow last week, and I do not mean my show, that was excellent. So were my choices but;
Hey Eurovision Israel Delegation, look who got famous overnight;
Bambie Thug - Zombie by The Cranberries
I played these guys before as well, seems to be a theme tonight. But I can´t figure them out.
Last song sounded so 80s, this has psychedelic 70s influences, and their videos look like VHS, while the songs are 3 months old.
It seems they do everything right they do everything to get my attention.
Castle Rat - “Cry For Me”
Let us stick with those witches a bit longer, you all should know that I feel quite at home between those who worship the elements and thank the ancestors.
And you find them everywhere not just in Ireland and wherever those castle rats come from.
ROSY ARANGO - La Bruja
And how fitting is it to find this classic in this version, I did not see that coming!
SAUROM - La Llorona
And now for something totally different, my favorite wizard of all and I mean both Nick & the wild God he sings about,
Where are my Peeps! Because this is a GEM!
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God
Yes back to black without playing the junky lady, I found this one going into darkness, The whispers, that voice it mixes so well with how Mr. Cave makes me feel.
SOLARIS MONO - NOX
Could my love for darkness be considered a Stockholm Syndrom, I really feel comfortable with those creepy songs, but let us slowly turn into a little more light corner in the world.
HANGWIRE - Stockholm Syndrome
This was my biggest surprise this week. Who the fluff is this guy, he should be freaking famous. What the hell, Kid Rock v2.0 country Nick Cave, sickening super.
Giant Crow - Hands
Now you all know I prefer Ren, but this guy keeps cathing my eye. He is a little bit of an attention seeker but this is bloody well done.
YUNGBLUD - I Was Made For Lovin’ You (from The Fall Guy)
Encore
It´s a Therion Rip-Off but very well done!
Youtube Playlist.

Spotify Playlist:
The Spotify playlist might not capture the whole show but is meant to represent it as well as Spotify makes it possible:
Riddle Me This
Guess What, my riddle was not so easy, now let me give you a musical hint and I tell you the answer is in the initial part of the song.
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.
