So I've been inspired to take part in the 100 Things blogging challenge - yeh, yeh, I know, another thing that I probably won't commit to. :P Whatever. Hey, at least it won't involve me talking about my bloody mule ( Read more... )

"The Captain's Lament", The Patient Wild (listen here)
Folk rock
UK
So the lead guitarist and mandolin player in this band is pretty hot, just saying ... hehe. :) Ben's band have released their album, which you can buy here (for only £5! Bargain!), so I thought it was only right that I feature one of my favourite songs from it! It was a hard choice ( Read more... )

Oki, so I made a last minute decision to share some love songs after meri_sielu shared Top Ten Heavy Metal Love Songs on FB. :) But because this wasn't planned, I've basically just picked my favourites out of all the songs in my collection that have love in the title. I'm good.

Note: not all these are happy love songs...

( Songs )

Gah! I haven't made one of these posts since October. This is a bit of a bumper-edition, and that's still with me withholding most of the songs I wanted to share - I'll put them in the next post! THERE IS SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC AROUND. <3

"Mit dem Wind", Faun (listen here)
Pagan folk / medieval
GermanyI double dare you to resist the urge to dance to ( Read more... )

Time for the October edition! I feel like this is a successfully eclectic entry.

"Northern Fall", Korpiklaani (listen here)
Folk metal
FinlandI flippin' love this song. I just want to launch myself into a silly jig-dance every time I hear it. Including it here because it seems appropriate for the season! I'm not that keen on autumn as I don't like ( Read more... )

Well, this month's offerings are a pretty eclectic mix. All metal, or metal-ish, but exploring opposing ends of the genre. I may have got over-excited and posted too much, for which I apologise. Anyway. Have at it, and I hope you find something that makes you smile. :)

"Preliator", Globus (listen here)
Orchestral / symphonic rock / operatic
USAOh ( Read more... )

More musical joy!

"Spirit of the Snow", Fox Amoore (listen here)
Instrumental
UKFox's music is part of my writing soundtrack; specifically, for the lighter stuff, as it's very sweet and easy-going and, to be honest, quite beautiful. This was a new track that popped up on my FB feed; the first minute or so isn't really my thing (a little bit twee ( Read more... )

I thought I'd only missed a couple of months, but apparently I haven't spammed you with music since the end of March. If anyone cares, apologies. :P

"Blackheart", Two Steps From Hell (here)
"Heart of Courage", Two Steps From Hell (here)
Orchestral / instrumental / EPIC
USAYeh, these guys are now my all time favourite of anything anywhere ever. I ( Read more... )

It's music time again! And I have a lot, because I forgot to include several in my last entry. By the way, would you prefer me to embed the YouTube videos into my posts, or do you prefer it as I have it now?

"Rescuing Ghosts", Fox Amoore (here)
Orchestral/instrumental
UKHoly Freyja I love this guy's music so very much. The song I wanted to share ( Read more... )

MOAR MUSIC. RAAWWR.

"Brave", Josh Groban (listen here)
Operatic pop
USAWhatever, don't judge me. I love Josh Groban oki? I'M NOT ASHAMED. He's my voice husband. As well as Jari Mäenpää and Mathias Nygård. I'm a floozy, what can I say. Anyway, yes: new album! I think it's out in the states already, but it's released here on Monday. I haven't really ( Read more... )
