Well now, I have a treat for you today. I have some Irish music to share with you from a great Irish band who I suspect the majority of you will have never heard of, but I reckon you will enjoy having a listen to this band, who certainly deserved more recognition, but sadly never got it. Their lead singer went off to the great gig in the sky to meet his maker back in January 2016, so unfortunately you will never be able to see them live, but his music lives on and sure isn't that magic of music? Food for the soul, isn't that what they say? Enjoy folks, it is Tuesday after all and sure isn't it great to be alive..
That's right, 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?
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 93rd 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 four to six 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 ninety three recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
Notorious B.I.G - Things Done Changed
This week I look back on an album that came out in 1994, seeing as we are in week 94 of Three Tune Tuesday, I do that from time to time as you know.
I like all music as you folks know by now, this week's it's Old School Rap, not everyone's cup of tea perhaps, but heh why not have a listen. If curse words offend you, maybe skip this song.
This is the first tune on the album Ready To Die, not including the intro which isn't really a song. This tune sets the scene for the album and is autobiographical, as is the whole album, as Biggie Smalls was a crack dealer and Gangster as well as a rapper, this song gives an insight into why that was the road he ended up on and the struggles for poor black families in New York at the time.
Notorious B.I.G - Big Poppa
Biggie Smalls, Notorious B.I.G., Big Poppa, a man of many names and one of the all time best rappers, such a pity he dies so young and we never got to hear what else he had to offer.
Notorious B.I.G - Juicy
I will close out this Three Tune Tuesday post with one of my favourite songs from Biggie Smalls, which shows his softer more caring side, a side you don't see much of if tou listen to the full Ready To Die album.
As I said above Rap might not be your thing, but just be open minded and give it a listen and let me know what you think. You might just be surprised.
ThreeTune Spotify Playlist
Our good friend and occasional Three Tune Tuesday poster @blackdaisyft added some tunes to a playlist in the early days and there are around 600 tunes there which is class. You can check those out here:
