It's funny that this song is called The Golden Elk when I'm working on a short story about a golden stag. This isn't my preferred genre, but I like the sound of this song.<br /><br />I may actually have a story to submit for the anthology this time around, but YA is a struggle and I'm always adding in fantasy elements. <br /><br />Cool trivia, the only one I'll need to look up is the 1984 one. Don't know who these people are. Not sure why, but the 1997 one made be chuckle. <br />Toi Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07493934864387695248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-73039686359600932312018-08-20T21:49:13.816-04:002018-08-20T21:49:13.816-04:00I know none of the trivia (shame on me!) but thank...I know none of the trivia (shame on me!) but thanks for the review of The Signal.

There is this style of screaming like singing that you find in some hard rock, for example, which, to me, is like nails on a chalkboard (with few exceptions). My husband likes that style - me, nope. Without the singing, I would have enjoyed that song.

We finally saw the new Mission Impossible movie this week, and really enjoyed it. It's on the long side, but thee's so much action, it never lost our interest. My hubby didn't even doze off!<br /><br />Music? At the moment, I'm listening to Endless Ocean. It's a merging of classical music with the sounds of the surf.

So nice to see you joining the Monday...Hey Alex,<br />So nice to see you joining the Monday's Music Moves Me gang! A very pleasant surprise. <br />Your post features a movie that I can't wait to see. "Meg" looks fantastic and I'm so glad to know it's not a Sharknado flick. Your review makes me even more eager to see it. <br />The other movie I haven't heard of but it sounds good so I'll seek it out.<br /><br />As for your music selection: I never heard of the band and as soon as it started, I was really digging it. And then that death growl screaming came on and I thought "Oh No! This just ruined it for me!" I hate that kind of screaming in music. But thankfully that wasn't a major part of the song. The rest of it musically appealed to me. Thanks for the introduction.<br /><br />I'm hoping you'll be a regular with the 4M crew. I usually do every Monday but some months are busier than others and during those months, I'll usually do the themes and skip the freebie weeks if I need to. But Freebies are cool: that's how I was able to present my entire Kaleiodoscope of Color Songs series. It's a fun bunch. <br /><br />And thanks for coming by my place. Was good to see you!<br /><br />Michele at <a href="http://angelsbark.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">Angels Bark</a>Michele at Angels Bark https://www.blogger.com/profile/15891713963440451090noreply@blogger.com
