Midnight Gems 2.0 - The written Radio Show - Episode 5 "Hey Ho, let´s go!"

Midnight gems session 2.png

For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.

Welcome to already the 5th edition of my written radio show.
Why do I write a radio show?
Because I can and wanted to do have my own show for many years!

But cut the crap and let´s get this trip moving.

Hey ho, not sure if this was a test for what later became Snow(Hey Oh) but it definitely has that Frusciante flavor. Damn this is one sick tune to start tonight´s trip.

John Frusciante-Forever Away

That song is from the 2003 road movie The Brown Bunny. I probably never watch the movie but that soundtrack is gold.
John wasn´t F´ed up when he wrote this song, but he was tripping on the edge for years. So glad someone up there decided that not all talented musicians have to die young.

Peter Raffoul - F***ed Up Together

Now that guy is so new to the music scene that there was not even a wiki on him when I wrote this, he just released an EP, and well if it´s up to me he can release many more. But as he is been doing things that are bad for him, to make him feel better.... he might just disappear.

This band seems to never disappear, I keep forgetting how good they are till all of a sudden a new song pops into my ear and I go....no not DCD, they must be dead by now. This one is just nice and trippy and I want you to sit back dear reader and enjoy this musical trip with me tonight.... like opium.

Dead Can Dance - 'Opium'

Bliss - Wish You Were Here

No, I did not forget to write, but just start Bliss with Wish 15 seconds before Opium ends and keep tripping- The only thing wrong with this song is that it has the same title as that beautiful little Pink Floyd pearl.

But not tonight, I don´t miss her so much that I need to wish she was here twice.

Still Corners - The Trip

This song by Still Corners I discovered by listening to a very talented guy that did an amazing piano cover of this song.

Now don´t ask me about this next song, I just tripped over it and couldn´t let it go. This is just next level, it´s pulp fiction cool.

"Queen Of Hearts" The Hillbilly Moon Explosion featuring Mark "Sparky" Phillips


But where to go if you just played the perfect song?
Well, anywhere is better than now here so "hey Ho let´s go! Let´s just keep tripping, where we go nobody knows." But we are not going home for now dear reader.

Gin Wigmore - Hey Ho


believe it or not but I am pumped, which means I miss my normal sense of melancholy a bit....
So let me fix it. Nothing better than a well-composed cover from a long-forgotten movie, that actually was quite good, to bring back that little hunted feeling..... I mean Halloween is around the corner.

Emily Browning - Sweet Dreams

Back in the days when I was still popular, I used to try to build up to a climax or anti-climax to end a gig. The anti shouldn´t be used too often, but it´s used to leave your audience unsatisfied and wanting more so they come back soon.

Humans in general prefer being satisfied, although as an artist you want the to come back. Now I will try to satisfy you tonight dear reader, but I also want you to come back. So feel free to leave a comment saying "Great show, please tag me" if you want to be added to the Tag list.

Now sit back, because this next piece is bloody good!

"Bloody tears" CastleVania Cover

What the fluff are 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 slightly confronting wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.

Thanks and not really, I did have some songs that would mash up really well and sometimes just use a loop or a hook from one song in another. But I did think about remixing or creating mashups, but not yet pushed through.

What the Fluff is this? 😂😂😂
Owww, a lot of rock, or rocky-ish, but for sure some I do like!
A super opening with the guitar song.
Dead Can Dance: I like! a group I know for quite some time.
Bliss: interesting!
Gin Wigmore: don't know her at all. Like her voice! Bookmarked her in my Spotify and was astonished some of her tracks have around 40M views. Ok, this is proof am quite detached from popular music.
And a perfect closing: Not 100% sure the music itself resonates with me a lot, but I do like the violin playing an important part in this instrumental rock arrangement.

Damn, I could not agree more you picked the gems. Bliss is really a hidden gem, with hardly any views.
DCD - Same here they keep poping up every so many years and I keep forgetting how amazing they are.
Gin Wigmore - same here I found here looking for something that fitted the previous song and hey ho she´ll go.
But that closing song with piano and violin taking it to the extreme was just such a lovely finish. But I do indeed have that rockish background, but I think next week will be a bit more synth oriented.... as I got a very cool song in my inbox.

But well when I start tripping I never know where I go.

Hahahaha the Trip itself shall lead, not the mind, but the heart, the feelings. Planning is soooooo overrated! Well, actually it is when 'playing' music ;)

Spot on I always have a plan and in the end probably 3/9 initial songs end up in my trip....but it just makes that trip so much more enjoyable

That whole album, I think its leveling the land (to lazy to Google) is awesome and definitely something I can fit in a nice musical Journey. It might take till episode 6 as I just drafted 5 but it´s a great suggestion thank you.
