Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture it’s true essence.
As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.

Considering the economic shit storm on the horizon I thought this song was appropriate. Not just appropriate but awesome too!
Pink Floyd - Money
Timeless dude.

I like your song choice, it has a retro feel to it but doesn't sound "outdated"!
This has a bit more of a laid back Saturday or Sunday feel to it which I think has the perfect weekend-nostalgia feeling needed on a Monday.
I like not only Mos Def's music but also his lyrics, which tend to stay true to the old school prose style of hip-hop vs the modern machine-gun random word rhyming.
The sometimes opinionated lyrics, can open up your mind to someone else's perspective. Allowing you to better understand where they're coming from and hopefully change your perception of them or their views. And it tends to does so without a lot of the violence and crime aspect.

Hey great choice this week @hrissm Mos Def is a great hip-hop artist .. One of the last great intelligent rappers who actually had something to say .. takes me back to the days of KRS-ONE where hip-hop really meant something. Thank you for the music!

Yes @amymya, I get very emotional listening to it too, especially when sung by the old author, who was famous for his sad dirges. However, he has a way of teaching us about ourselves nevertheless and sadness is very human. He said that in his view, all Hallelujahs have equal value, whether they be perfect or broken. I liked that :)

SuperCat is Ghetto Red Hot in this jam. He's also well known for Dolly My Baby and Don Dada. Interesting fact is that he's half Indian (from India) and half Jamaican. His brother Junior Cat is also dope. Unfortunately this Hip Hop Remix of the song doesn't have a video. Still dope AF.

Oasis deserve so much more credit, they should be considered to be up there with the likes of Elvis and the Beatles. Not only did they define there generation but almost every song they ever produced was great in one way or another. They were probably the most consistently brilliant band of all time.
And this song is one proof of all the reasons why they should be proud of. Let's nostalgia together through the Oasis song, "Don't Look Back in Anger".

Hi @perceptualflaws
This time I want to share one of my other favorite songs. The title is, 7 Second, a song sung by Youssou N'Dour featuring Neneh Cherry. This song won the 1994 MTV Europe Music Award for Best Song.
Some of the reasons why I always put this song on the list is in addition to the music that keeps me excited, also because of the facts of this song use three languages as the lyrics. English, French, and Wolof Languages, the traditional languages of tribes in several African countries such as Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia. Besides the main idea in the lyrics in this song is something that is very important for us to know all. Revealing the issue of violence, this song seems to invite us to re-think what is violence.
The fact that violence prevailed in the world, has really polluted the sanctity of newborn babies. Only a few seconds after babies are born of polemics and acts of violence, wars and so on are in front of them, and they grow up inheriting all the bad things.

Maroon 5, "She will be loved". I really like this Maroon five's song, this song reminds me to my best friend. They're so close, but the guy does not have the courage to express what he feels to his girlfriend. This song is very very simple, with an easy guitar chord, maroon 5 can make great music. This my favorit songs for this week.

Hey there! Really liked your choice, kind of groovy but also relaxing. The only thing more special than this mixture is the video which I totally love :D
Today I've got four songs. If you look at their genres they both come from the origin of electronic music but couldn't be more diverse in my oppinion.
The first two songs are from Little Dragon who I mentioned on past 'Music Mondays'.
Both songs are not only connected by sharing the same release date and front and back of an 12" vinyl, they are also connected by their lyrics and cover arts which are beautiful and as much works of art as the songs themselves.
Sway Daisy:
Best Friends:
The next two songs are more pumped up. They are from Virtual Self aka Porter Robinson and are called Ghost Voices and Particle Arts. Virtual Self's style (music and video) is heavily inspired by 2000's techno and video game music, trance, some vocaloid and Japanese style techno and even if I was far too young to really experience that time it just feels so nostalgic and great that 2000's electronic music gets a little revival by Virtual Self aka Porter Robinson.
Ghost Voices:
Particle Arts:
I hope you enjoy (my) music and see you next time!

I just wanted to mention an interesting excerpt from an interview with Porter Robinson about Virtual Self which really speaks to me and my first experiences with the internet:
"There was a certain sense of escapism afforded by the internet that’s no longer the case. You’d join a chatroom or forum with a name that’s not tied to your identity and very little info was being collected about you. There were no algorithms trying to give you an ideal experience. Everything on the internet now is very much an evaluation of who you are and your self worth. Back then, you could depict yourself any way that you wanted."

Hey there perceptualflaws. I love your music moon days! I'll take a minute and address the archon/A.I. slash what the hell is going on with humanity and this technology within about 100 years of most people on this earth lighting their homes with wax and oils.
I think any thinking person would be curious about this and would want to investigate and offer theories on it. I find the material evolutionary atheist view on this kind of unimaginative and boring but consider it possible. I do, however, feel that most alternate theories need to be framed as speculation (for the most part), and yes, your particular take on it is rather compelling. Ultimately I don't know, but again it seems to me that something more is happening in this regard than what Dickie and Dennett and the boys would concede.
I like my theories, too, though, on this issue, and write about them quite frequently. My Tallomite post offers up one possible cosmology that would account for it.
Anyway, although I'm not much for Bebop I do love this Charlie Parker melody regardless of how bad I've screwed it up:) Cheers!
