Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend? It’s the school half-term holiday and guess what… I chanced upon someone offering an excellent guest suggestion to take over this holiday Music Monday. Yup, we connected on Twitter via Planet Rock, we got chatting and… here he is!
A huge thank you Hugh Sherry for introducing me to this brilliant band and awesome tune. Thought-provoking if slightly gruesome lyrics (you know I’m a sucker for lyrics) too ~ in a roundabout way, not inappropriate for the upcoming Halloween festivities.
Welcome to Music Monday! It’s the school holidays, and over the past month, I’ve encouraged you all to submit suggestions for rocking songs during the Music Monday Takeover season. Now this is the LAST Music Monday Takeover for the time being, and here’s the current list:

(2) Fantastic Place – Marillion
(3) Alone – Heart
(4) King of Spades – Dare
(5) Long Live Rock ‘n Roll – Rainbow
(6) Back in Black – AC/DC

Once again, I had to deploy random.org to make a selection.
The answer is:
That makes it … Brandee’s choice … again!
Random.org definitely likes your choices, sweetie. 🙂
I have to confess, I do LOVE this song… but I also loved all the other suggestions! So much great music, so little time. Let’s do this again some time soon, folks, what do you say?
Thank you all for taking part, it’s been great fun!
Next week is launch week for Sophie’s Encore.
Yes. Really! It’s coming round really fast. Therefore…. next week Monday features a special edition of Music Monday to ring in the launch celebrations. Stay tuned for…

That makes it… my gorgeous Other Half’s choice!
I can tell you, he’s beside himself right now. We have somewhat different views on his tastes in music, and for obvious reasons, he’s thrilled to host the Takeover for you today. So I’m doubly keen to hear what you think, LOL!
