#AuralVisualConnection 41/42 #MusicChallenge Looks like Michael Stipe with an antenna rod through his head. So, the obvious question is.. What's the Frequency, Kenneth? - R.E.M. youtu.be/jWkMhCLkVOg?...

#EcksteinsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge 5/06 A fave 90's artist Honestly, my great admiration for R.E.M. in the 80's did not lessen one bit in the 90's. That said, the 90's were packed with great acts. I'll go with this one: Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 youtu.be/Lr58WHo2ndM?...

#MayBeNot #MusicChallenge 5/06 "Don't it make you wanna rock and roll all night long..." Mohammed's Radio - Warren Zevon youtu.be/63aqcNing5Q?... Buckingham / Nicks on backup vocals.

Thanks to everyone taking part in #MayBeNot! A quick recap for late joiners: A song per day, title or lyrics include: • The word 'not'; or • A negative contraction, e.g. isn't, can't, don't. Songs with negative words like 'no' or 'never' in the title still need the above in the lyrics to count!

#MayBeNot #MusicChallenge 5/04 Nobody Really Cares If You Don't Go To The Party - Courtney Barnett youtu.be/2ZOGlFdReMM?...

A #MayBeNot request (but not a requirement!) - if you're sharing a song where the 'not', 'can't', 'isn't', 'don't' etc. is in the lyrics rather than the title, it would be great, and increases the enjoyment, if you could quote the relevant line/s so it's clear why you've chosen it. Thank you :-)
