How about Halloween? It's soon to be here. Do you care? Are you scared? I don't and I'm not. Halloween doesn't have that much impact on my life anymore. But it's good for inspiring another Battle of the Bands...
Battle of the Bands
Battle of the Bands is the blogging event started by Far Away Series and StMcC Presents Battle of the Bands. I do this event each month on the 15th and the 1st of the month. The premise is simple: Listen to the songs presented below and then in the comments vote for your favorite and tell us why you liked it. Then visit thHe links listed near the bottom of this post for more Battle action.
Halloween and All That
My blog was started some 16 years ago and I'm still in the game to some degree. Not like I was when I was posting every day. When I started this blog Tossing It Out I was focused on Halloween since that had been my business prior to 2009. Since those early days I've gone on to topics related to writing, politics, music, and whatever I had on my mind to toss out to my audience. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my blogging.
As Halloween approaches, I thought it would be appropriate to pay homage to my blog roots and to the event day at hand. Nothing to put us in the mood better than some "scary" music. And I mean scary as in kind of bad music. For it's time I guess it was kind of cool perhaps. Not so much to my ears, but what the heck. Here goes. Which do you like best?
The Damned "Black Leather Rock" (1962)
I heard this one recently in a film called The Damned or These Are the Damned. It was part of a series that started with Village of the Damned. It's good stuff for its time, but the music is an earworm that might drive you nuts. Or maybe you'll like it.
Time to Vote!
Don't be scared. This is all just silly fun. Enjoy the music! Which song do you prefer? Battles are no fun without you the reader participating. Hopefully you have an opinion of some kind. You don't have to know about music to have an opinion since it all comes down to your own personal taste.
Please vote on your favorite by letting us know your choice in the comment section and tell us why you prefer the version you chose. Then after you've finished here, please visit the other blogs listed below who may or may not be participating this time around. And if you've put up your own BOTB contest let us know that as well so we can vote on yours. I don't know if anyone else will be doing a Battle this time around, but you can still check out these sites.
Here are some other places where you might find BOTB posts:

ReplyDeleteI believe we started blogging at about the same time sixteen years ago.
