Tick tock, tick tock, well would ya look at that! Yep, it's Tuesday folks and for our merry little band of ladies and lads, that means sharing tunes, good vibes and engagement. As another week disappears in the rearview mirror, we have loads of engagement and tunes flying around on Three Tune Tuesday and sure isn't that bloody fantastic! I hope you're ready to share three tunes from wherever you find yourself on this magical spinning lump of rock that we all call home and sure you might even sing us a tune if we're lucky?
Tuesday is here again, which can only mean one thing, another three tunes from me and hopefully from lots of you good folks too. How are all of you music loving rockers from Valencia Island to Valencia doing on this fine evening? Sure, isn't great to be alive all the same.
It's a time of the week when lovers of music, tunes and craic bring their blockchain community three of their finest and brightest tunes to share and celebrate, so let's roll on and let the tunes flow free.
This is my 82nd week waxing lyrical for Three Tune Tuesday and we are still going strong.
It started off with me just sharing tunes into what seemed like a void, but little by little others joined and now I'm thrilled that we have a little corner of Hive where we come and share our tunes every Tuesday, and long may it continue. I almost stopped posting the songs and thoughts a few times, but I stuck with it and now interestingly it is my favorite thing about Hive. I love music and now I have a network of folks around the world who love music too and we share our tunes and catch up with each others tunes and discuss them each week. We get Pop, Metal, Rock, Gospel, Folk, Jazz, Rap, Hip-Hop, Trip-Hop, Reggae, Bippy bappidy Flange Hop. Ok I made that one up, but you get the idea, we are all learning about new artists, bands, back stories and sure isn't it just mighty!
Something that excites me the most is that we even get musicians sharing their covers of famous songs and even their own songs from time to time here on #ThreeTuneTuesday, which is a real favorite of mine, as that takes talent, time and dedication.
We are adding New posters and retaining our core of regulars here on #TTT which is fantastic. Let's keep it growing. Weekly, I try to find three or five hours to listen to all of the fantastic music shared from like-minded folk from around the globe and interact with their posts. This has led me to genres I don't know well and to some amazing new bands and artists and has even introduced me to some musical instruments I did not know existed. It also allows me to upvote smaller accounts and find some really interesting people from all over the world, which is heartening.
I hope you enjoy the tunes - be sure to tell me all about it in the comments below and above all else, please enjoy the rest of your Tuesday - smile at a stranger, rub a dog, be a nice human to someone who was not expecting it - peace out.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning the prize - more on that later.
Here are my week eighty two recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
Wolf Alice - Don't Delete The Kisses
I had to drive to Dublin for work first thing this morning and usually of late a journey like that which takes two or three hours would mean me listening to a few Podcasts. Two Irish ones that I have particularly gotten into and which I'd recommend are the Blindboy Podcast and the Tommy, Hector and Loritta Podcast.
This morning though, for whatever reason it was tunes I needed, I guess it's because its Tuesday which of course means Three Tune Tuesday for us devotees.
Now I could of course I could get ye to guess the connection between the songs, but that's @whywhy's thing. So instead I'll just tell you in the intro to the next song.
Here is a beautiful song from Wolf Alice, but don't take my word for it, you be the judge, have a listen.
Villagers - Becoming a Jackal
Ok, so as I was saying above, these three songs are connected in some little way, well maybe more ways than one, but one that I've chosen for sure.
The connection is that all of these songs are from albums that were nominated for the Mercury Music award.
I find this a great way to discover cool new music and always love it when the shortlist is released, as inevitably there are a few lesser known artists and I get to immerse myself in their art and their music.
So here goes, song number two for this week comes from Villagers and it's a quality tune from an Irish band.
Laura Marling - Song for our Daughter
Ok so I know I have many International listeners and readers here, and some might be thinking what the actual fuck is the Mercury Prize.
Well.... The Mercury Prize, which was formerly called the Mercury Music Prize, is an annual music prize awarded for the best album released in the United Kingdom by a British or Irish act. It was created by Jon Webster and Robert Chandler in 1992 as an alternative to the Shit Awards or Brit Awards as some people call them!
This award is more for the alternative genre and my last tune for the week is another wee beauty from a talented singer songwriter called Laura Marling.
