It was little more of a normal month for me October, finally being home from the hospital and the rehab.
For new readers, this blog entry refers to the monthly Song of the Day list on the Sputnik Music website. Each month, one User hosts the list and names a theme. Everyone then recommends songs in line with this theme, and people rate the various song recommendations. The list of October songs can be found at Sputnik Music Song of the Day October 2022.
1. The theme of the month was to pick a song that would be good as part of a horror film soundtrack.
2. Participation for the month was pretty good, although I actually got to make three different recommendations. The first of these was Gerard McMann's "Cry Little Sister" which actually was the main theme song from the soundtrack of the 1980s horror flick the lost boys The Lost Boys. The second was a track by 1970s folk/prog rockers Strawbs, "Witchwood". The third was "Alison Gross", from 1960s folk rockers Steeleye Span. Gerard McMann - Cry Little Sister; Strawbs - Witchwood; Steeleye Span - Alison Gross.
3. I didn't have a great month listening wise. The average rating I gave was only 2.73 out of 5. My highest rated song was "The Serpent" by Myrkur. Myrkur - The Serpent.
4. However, the highest rated song by the group in general was "Vitamin C' by the 1970s German experimental band Can. Can - Vitamin C.
And that's that.
Alrighty then - hope to see you all next month.
