Midnight Gems - Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 15 "Strange Little Girl Bands"
Do I really need to explain why I like this next song? And no it´s not a gimmick to sell their first single, they are really like that live, well sort of. But it caught my attention. They made me think of Boygenius, but then actually cool.
The Last Dinner Party - Nothing Matters
Now should I cancel good Music because they are Russian....
Lol such a stupid question, if they would be from Mars and cool I would play them. As long as it fits tonight's feel.
Just wondering which of them is Mary?
GRAY - In the arms of Mary (Official video)
Well for this next band I have no words, again no gimmick, just very cool. I think this comment says it all:
Never expected to see hijabi women playing metal. I'm a muslim myself though... This is insane and fucking NEXT LEVEL! man, that bass solo...
Voice of Baceprot - God, Allow Me (Please) To Play Music
I think I hear some of that System of A Down Eastern metal, would not surprise me at all if I am right.
But yes tonight I am all-inclusive, no angry white guy boomer party
I guess we are starting to see a theme dripping through, can you spot it already? Yup, more weird chicks ahead. Weird is good, I like people that are "Special".
I am happy this song is separated by those chicks in hijabi because this next band is from.... The Ukraine indeed!
Trust me, I did not do it on purpose. I just liked the song, but I also do not believe in coincidence. Still, I had to look up where they were from because I do not give a fart.
Go_A - Rusalochki
Hmm Russia, Ukraine and then now death, is that the common theme tonight? No, it could be a sub-theme though. Especially if you read my thoughts on war in general (war, general😁) in last week's STV.
Drummatix - Death
Dark thoughts indeed, Nocturnal thoughts maybe. I hope this is a nightly trip for you Dear Reader. These sets are best listened to in a moonlit room wearing noise-canceling earphones. Shut the world out and let the trip in!
Fishbach - Nocturne
Only 6 days old and already on my radar, damn some songs just have a way of creeping up on me. At least it´s a song most of us can understand, but don´t take that for granted tonight.
Alex Vile - I Don't Know You Now
We did cover a lot of countries already, but I wanted to add one I don´t think was ever featured in one of my 100+ Gems Sessions.
This was just such an ear-opener for me so we might getting Chinese more often.
鈴華ゆう子with和楽器バンド / 六兆年と一夜物語 (Yuko Suzuhana con Wagakki Band / Six Trillion Years and One Night Story)
And no, that was not my way to close this show with a bang. I will though. A chocolate Bang from Japan, this poo is SAF (Sick As F) and if you want to see how they matured check this out.
BABYMETAL - ギミチョコ！！- Gimme chocolate!!
Encore
If you did not figure out the theme of this trip, I can only leave you with this ......

Riddle Me This
Guess What, My Riddle was solved by @bozz , guess I am not the only illuminate on the block.....
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.

The only song I recognised so far is the last one! lol... listening through now, some interesting songs here.
I didn´t know half of them before I fell into this YT rabbithole. But some crazy shit I normally don´t play, especially that Chinese song and those wearing the whatever its called playing loud guitars ....Strange Girls but very interesting
yeah, some interesting stuff. Yuko Suzuhana particularly.
Indeed that is the Chinese song I referred to it indeed has that X factor
I love BabyMetal! Good stuff. I am glad you included them in this list! So awesome! Killer playlist!
I am happy to hear that as it was a bit diverse but I also thought it was a great set and it didn't go unnoticed! !LOLZ
