For those of you that are new to my MidNight Gems series. Welcome to this nightly trip on which we will uncover & recover some amazing songs & covers.

Back with another full-packed show tonight and well it might not be all the useful stuff. Tonight I stepped into a weird Youtube Loop that took me places.....

Well just have a listen to all the gems I dug up for you this week, enjoy the trip!

Of course, you should honor the Old Man and I actually think these guys did a great job. I for one was impressed by how well Neil Young sounds in a that is 40 years newer.

Redlight King - Old Man

I love that mixing of styles, music should never have to fit a single label, these next guys are a perfect example of how combining styles can be freakin refreshing.

Flipsyde - Someday (Official Video)

Someday was one of the few songs I discovered myself and turned into a dance floor classic. It would mix great with N.E.R.D.s she wants to move, but tonight I felt more like a Latin Linkin Park.

Does that Exist?
IDK!

But this is what I stumbled upon when looking for it. The sound quality is not perfect, but the arrangement is so cool that I just had to throw it in there tonight.

Numb - Linkin Park - (Cover) - Latin Strings Orquesta

An Epic 2-minute intro, normally I am a sucker for lyrics but in this case, I did not miss them for 120 seconds and could have missed for 360 seconds. Why did I get stuck in Spain, so close but why did I never make it to America Latina?

TEMPUS QUARTET - LA SANDUNGA

Yeah did I put you on the wrong foot, by that old and then taking you to Cuba? Guess I needed some sunny tunes.

PALO! "Al Monte" • Musica Cubana Salsa Jazz Funk

More Copper! Let´s really make tonight swing!

The Hot Sardines - Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen (Official Video)

And back to Linkin Park! And Pianos! If you mix those, you would not expect this.... Or at least I did not.

LostWithoutMusiqq - Linkin Park - Breaking The Habit (Latin/Jazz Cover)

Guess This Old Man was playing a bit more than a knick-knack paddywhack, it´s getting late my friend so I will calm down a bit. How about some Nursery Rhymes before bed?

Shoots and Ladders - Korn ( The Coraline )

Well, I did not over-commit and under-deliver this week when I said it would be a weird trip did I? Maybe it was a bit too much for some of you, but hey we are all here to discover those cool, weird, old, and new gems.

And as an initial hint I left you with this song;

Now my only tip is that the answer is in the lyrics of that song I gave you as a clue.

What the fluff are midnight gems?

Somewhere lost in time, trying to escape out of the rabbit hole back into the rat race there is a vacuum..... that´s the place where midnight gems are found.

My Midnight Gems will try to uncover & recover those beautiful songs that nobody ever noticed or might have been forgotten.

Who the fluff am I?

Being a former DJ playing about everything and having an uncompleted study of radio journalism. I have been wanting to do this for years...Thought about it many nights and guess now it´s time to finally take it to the streets.

Hope you enjoyed this slightly confronting wave of fantastic music and that you still feel like joining me on the next Midnight Gems Session coming soon.
