Midnight Gems -Your Free Mix-Tape Show - E 43 "Red Head Parade"

Now I thought that Thrice was the biggest Gem, but deep down this week's Rabbit Hole I found Nothing, a hole Full of Nothing. Another band that has been around but never made it onto my radar.

FULL NOTHING - IN TIME ( feat. Kate Metz )

Okay so the tonight tone seemed to be set but of course, when you think you are ready, life happens. Or in my case, I find out that someone just released a new single...or more like a whole group of someones, and I can no, not play these ladies.

The Last Dinner Party - Cesar on a TV screen

I tried doing some guy songs Dear Reader but once I touch on those girls I have a hard time letting go. Now the original version of this next song is by a Guy or better a Ghost....would that still do?

Charlotte Wessels & Zora Cock MARY ON A CROSS

Anna KiaRa - Nostalgia

If Ella Kiara´sbirth is still in the stars nothing is going to change that, not even this awesome song by Follow The Cipher. They have been on my playlist for quite some time, but tonight I finally found a way to fit them into yours.

Follow The Cipher - Rewind the Stars

But that first redhead remains the cutest if you ask me (I know you did not).
And she looks so familiar.
But it´s not because she looks like a rock version of Jesica rabbit is it?

And no it´s not even because of her peculiar last name, because I would remember.
I did a bit of digging into this foxy lady and I found out why she looked so hot familiar.

Blackbriar - Weakness and Lust

When she spoke there was something that sounded like a Dutch accent, And it was, I mean the Dutch are kinda known for this Bombastic scene with bands like Epica, Within Temptation, and Floor who has been the lead singer of Nightwish for years. But I am now adding this girl and her band to that list, if I was not so far away I would see if I could get a ticket for their next show.

As I just mentioned them anyway, here´s what is probably their latest single. Now the song is okay but the video, damn I feel we are back in the MTV days when video mattered.

Within Temptation - Ritual

To end in style I have one more lullaby in store for you, Also a redhead, but not Tori. Also Dutch, but not Floor Jansen, Also mentioned but not Nightwish.

In that case, it can be only one Simone Simons;

Epica ft Shining - The Final Lullaby

Riddle Me This

Guess What, my riddle has been solved. @bozz saw the connection the songs had with ancient Greek Mythology, personally one of my finer riddles although I say so myself.

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.
