Post-Mayhem Monday

This past weekend I attended the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival with my good friend and concert buddy Spank when the show rolled through Atlanta. I had an amazing time, and plan to post about it once I am home and can collect and compose my thoughts - I'm currently still in Atlanta at Spank's place and blogging from her computer. (Hi, Spank! I'm not even gone yet and I miss you already! ::mwah:: ) She and I have dished about the show at her place, so you should check that out if you get a chance. And if you have a sense of humor :)




In the meantime, it's Music Monday again. The theme for the 100th week is "Gone but not forgotten - featuring music from artists who have passed recently. Unfortunately, there are far too many of these.

The Rules:

1.  You Tube, and lock & load!
2.   Grab "Monday's Music Moves Me" Button.
3.   SIGN LINKY, Follow us, & Rockin' comment are good!
4.  Finally, Boogie down to your Fellow Rockin' Bloggers. Also, bring some back with you to join us!

Slipknot - Duality
(Paul Gray, 1972 - 2010)

I know I keep giving you Slipknot videos during my Music Monday posts, but the theme makes this entirely appropriate. At the show this weekend, the band played "Duality" in tribute to Paul Gray while the backdrop changed to a giant "2" (Gray's stage persona was #2). I don't think they ever perform without honoring his memory.



The Ramones - I Wanna Be Sedated
(Joey Ramone, 1951 - 2001)

My first real rock star crush. Peter Criss from Kiss (before the makeup came off) doesn't count - I "liked" whoever the babysitter's daughter liked, because she was older and knew best. And I was just annoying that way!



Type O Negative - Wolf Moon
(Peter Steele, 1962 - 2010)

My forever rock star crush. One of the best memories of my entire life revolves around a Type O show, and I am SO thankful I've been able to see them live several times.



Be sure to come by XMas Dolly's place to play along and find some new music to listen to :)

Update from the road

There will be no "Monday's Music Moves Me" post this week because I took a long weekend to go visit my Mom in Mississippi. My sons and I have had a lovely visit, and we'll be traveling back today - I have a shower to fix when I get back home!

In fact, there is lots to take care of at home. In addition to working and fixing stuff and continuing with the fun project I'm working on, I will be spending the week preparing the kids for their upcoming visit to their Dad's, during which time I will be attempting to work as much as possible AND tackle even more should-have-gotten-done-by-now home improvements. When my son leaves for college in August, I will be moving into his old room. I am pretty excited about that!

So I've had a bit of an interruption in my regularly scheduled blogging agenda, but I *do* have a music-related post coming up this week - be sure to stop back by for my review of Rock of Ages!
