Thank you so much to everyone that took part in the first #MusicStall #MusicChallenge ๐ŸŽ‰

If anyone has any feedback, it'd be gratefully received, either in this thread, or you can DM me if you prefer!

The second game will start in the not too distant future - keep your eyes peeled for updates!

You'd be more than welcome to join in a future round!

(And I'd totally dig a Bauhaus store! ๐Ÿ–ค )

#MusicStall day 14 - Rob provided 5 country songs from 5 performers, but all written by songsmith Matraca Berg.

Country's not a genre I've explored much, so this was an education for me. I learned I like sad songs WAY more than happy ones.

This one was my overall fave!

Ooh yeah, the subject matter would definitely suit a more scuffed up, raw tone!

Oh, interesting POV - it's not often you hear songs with an adult narrator talking about their relationship with their parents...

And yeah, explicitly miserable in this song, and I dig it...

Like this one too - do I just dislike songs where the singer is happy???! ๐Ÿ˜†

If they're singing about being miserable I'm on board straight away... ๐Ÿ˜…

Like the energy and attitude of this one more, for sure!

Interesting idea for a stall!

The musical style of this track isn't quite to my taste, but the lyrics do paint an evocative coming of age narrative!

It's 11pm, and Kitty has proclaimed the day is done.

Thank you everyone, for sharing your songs - it's heartening to know we're all in this together!

I'm torn between a couple of options for TOKEN TWO, but I think I'll have to go with:

John Legend & The Roots - "I Can't Write Left Handed"

We have had this posted, Mickle (albeit, maybe a different live version) - would you like to take this token back and choose again?

The original is a choon - heavier than I remember, too!

"It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying"

Evening Cat, thank you for hosting๐Ÿ‘
Token 1. This track refers to propaganda films. Lyrics & military style drum & whistle strongly suggest propaganda used for war purposes.

Ooh, this is funky!

Yeah, the lack of Edwin Starr has been surprising! I was expecting it to come up pretty early on!

Cat, thank you for hosting such a timely Jukebox!

But no Edwin Starr???

Final offering. NOT The Average White Band, though they are responsible for the sample.

I don't think I've encountered this chap before - he sure is skewering England with the lyrics! ๐Ÿ‘

The album containing Bang Bang & Knocked It Off snuck in a track about nostalgia for blind patriotism and being sent to war.
