#4M #RocktoberMusicFest Creepy #BattleoftheBands

Whew! Half-way through the month already! Can you believe it?!?

Once again, it’s a busy Monday - We’ve got #4M (Mondays Music Moves Me), #RocktoberMusicFest, and #BattleoftheBands - but I’ve managed to roll it all up into a tiny bundle as one post.


A few months ago, I was struggling to come up with a battle for that particular time. As I was surfing through YouTube and a number of notes that I had made for myself for possible upcoming posts (you do that, too, don’t you?) The idea for today’s battle was formed.  I did manage to come up with a battle for that date as well.

So this post has been on the back burner for a few months. I sure hope it isn’t overdone!

Because this is the second Battle of the Bands for the month, I wanted something that wasn’t quite Halloweenish, but would be a good fit for the time frame. (I hope that makes sense)

Today’s battle is two songs with the same name, but are two very different songs. When voting, please indicate which band you prefer - otherwise I won’t know who you are voting for. .

Let’s get this battle going!

As a reminder for you seasoned readers and to help out those of you who may be new here

Here is how a battle works:

Step One - Listen to each of the contenders. TRY not to be persuaded by the videos (unless specifically requested - in the case of today’s battle, listening is more important than watching) 

Step Two - Pick the contender that you prefer the most


Step Three - Comment with your selection. Today’s contenders are Stone Temple Pilots and Radiohead. These are the only contenders that will receive votes today in this battle. I know some of you get excited about the graphics when you see a name or song you recognize - but please, for the love of all things good,  ONLY VOTE FOR STONE TEMPLE PILOTS or RADIOHEAD.


Step Four - Visit Stephen’s blog to check out his battle and for a list of other bloggers that have have battles going on. We each have different battles, so please be sure to visit everyone. I'll provide a link below the videos to Stephen's blog for your convenience.



Contender #1 - Stone Temple Pilots





Contender #2 - Radiohead





YOU DON’T NEED TO BE FAMILIAR WITH AN ARTIST OR A SONG TO KNOW WHICH ONE YOU PREFER. You only need to listen to the videos and choose which one sounds better to you.  There are no right or wrong votes, unless you vote for someone not listed as a contender or don’t vote at all.


For those of you who may be interested in joining in our fun - The battles take place twice a month. Once on the 1st, and again on the 15th. Some participants have chosen to participate only once a month - and that’s okay - we’re just happy to have you join us! Your battle can consist of covers of the same song, different songs with the same title, or even a themed type battle. We just want you to join in the fun!  Catch the link to Stephen’s blog to join in - all you need to do is drop him a comment on his blog stating you’d like to participate and he’ll add you to the roster of participants.

I’d like to encourage you to visit the other bloggers participating in the battle of the bands blog hop as well.  We’ve all put a lot of time and effort into putting together these battles and they are a lot of fun. Each blogger has a different battle taking place. You can find a current list of participants on Stephen’s blog (don't forget you can also request to join the battle of the bands blog hop by simply commenting on his blog that you'd like to join us).
