Supernatural #4M

Hola kitties! We had some weird stuff going on in the condo Friday night. Being DJ CK it reminded me of some songs that I wanted to share on Music Monday. This is another freebie week where I pick the prompt. Let me set the stage.

We were all in the back bedroom. I was in the igloo, Pop was sprawled out watching tv and TW was on the computer reading blogs to me. Suddenly we heard things falling in the other part of the condo. Pop said he heard it again while TW was watching a cat video so she didn't hear it. She waddled in to investigate but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

She returned to the computer and shortly after, she felt a cat rub on her legs underneath the desk. It wasn't me cos I don't rub on her legs. It's against my religion. Was it the ghost of Autumn or Nicky? They're the only two other cats that have lived in the condo and they were leg rubbers? Were they playing in the other room before? Which one of them rubbed on TW?

It isn't the first first we've been visited by ghosts either. Our old washing machine was possessed and I've been photographed with Autumn's ghost and some orbs. This naturally leads me to a set of SUPERnatural tunes. See what I did there?

There definitely were "Spirits in the Night" all right. I debated using a professionally-shot clip with higher quality—not to mention Clarence on sax—but this one has sentimental value. It's incredibly hard to get tickets to The Boss in the NY metro area but the peeps scored tickets to this show. They were behind the stage on the other side from the cameraman in this clip and not quite in the nosebleed seats.

Then again, "If You Have Ghosts," you can't blame me for those bumps in the night. This is one of our favorite Roky songs that didn't get into the tribute. It's part of my Howl-o-ween playlist.

It's all "Supernatural." This is the original written and sung by Vic Chesnutt of a song that has been covered beautifully by Live and Garbage among others.

You can't take the supernatural too super seriously. Who are these old men? This is a cool song from R.E.M. after they started taking themselves too seriously and disappeared from TW's radar.

I'm going to end on a sad note for music lovers. Thought this fire occurred 11 years ago, we're just now beginning to learn of all the irreplaceable musical history that was destroyed. Master recordings, demos and outtakes from everyone from Al Jolson and Judy Garland to Nirvana and R.E.M. Some of the country's blues, jazz, rock and country legends from the past to the present have lost their original master tapes. The sad part is there were songs that were never put to vinyl that now are lost forever.

I'm participating in this week's #4M Music Monday blog hop co-hosted by Curious as a Cathy and many others.

Gratuitous cat photo. TW took this stunning photo about nine months ago to save it for Flag Day. Did she remember to use it. No. Hashtag #senile
