Metal Mondays to expand your horizons and Timeless Tuesdays to take you back where you need to be

Metal Mondays:  Seeing Red Again

Y’all gonna like this one.
This is one of Folk’s running / workout joints! It’s on the slower side but it’s all about the lyrics.
The Band? Chevelle. From the great state of Illinois. Grayslake was the town where this band heralds from. Their fame possibly came from a divine controversial mistake. Their first label was backed by a distribution company that distributed Christian titles and they were labelled Christian Rock initially. …

Metal Monday:  Shout it out loud!

Folk been having it bad lately. Really bad. Folk haven’t been around much to conversate or to write. Writing calms me down, but also having a relationship with my wife does the same, but the folks at the plantation have been affecting Folk in ways that Folk would rather not discuss.
So when it came to this week’s Metal Monday, Folk needed something to to speak to where Folk is at the moment and at the same …

MMs: Savoring this heart that’s healing

Flyleaf. A band that the lil lady likes so… Yeah, here they go. This band comes from the great state of Texas. They were formed at the turn of the century.
In Folk’s opinion they are a little pop’ish but this is about expanding the musical experiences of all of us right? Right. Plus, Folk secretly has one of Flyleaf’s cuts in the iPod and it’s on constant rotation.

Metal Mondays:  Time is never worth my time!  Panic Switch B!tch!

Some songs just will grab you and push your head in the fvcking wall whether you like it or not!  And this song right here is one of them.  
Some of you will not like this joint at all.  It's on that edge.  It's fast paced.  It's edgy.  It's alternative rock on "that" level.  But Folk likes it and want to share with y'all.  Besides, it's Metal Mondays!  Folk's way of opening the mind of a lot of you …

Metal Monday:  Sometimes goodbye is a 2nd chance

There are some events in life that are life altering. As sad, devastating, or painful as those changes can be, those changes are often opportunities for 2nd chances. Folk has had a few "second" chances.
This week's Metal Monday tune from Shinedown always reminds Folk of those "second" chances, regardless of the pain and devastation they bring.
It was a death and divorce that brought Folk to his knees. And when Folk looked up from the pool of pain, Folk emerged …
