Battle of the Bands #1 Dead Flowers

I discovered this on Arlee Bird's Tossing it Out blog. I thought well this fits well with my blog so I am giving it a shot. Apparently, it is a Tuesday thing so I am already starting it off wrong. But hey mess ups fit quite well on this blog too!

How it works

According to Arlee Bird's blog the rules are rather simple:

"   Here's how the Battle works:   Listen to the song clips in the blog post and then in the comment section vote on the one you like the best.   When you vote please tell us why you voted the way you did.  Long explanations are always welcomed.   After a week or so I'll tally the votes and announce them in an upcoming blog post.   Please do vote though so your favorite choice can be counted."

After you vote you can check out these sites for other battles:

  Faraway Series
         Ferret-Faced Fascist Friends
         Your Daily Dose         
         DiscConnected   

Well I heard an awesome cover of the classic song "Dead Flowers" by The Rolling Stones. Here is a Stones version..

.

Out battle will feature the great song writer Townes Van Zandt..

and a relatively new but respected blues singer Samantha Fish...

Vote for the winner in the comments!

A to Z: Bird, Arlee

Today I continue the A to Z: Challenge with the letter B. Today I am going to play it forweard a bit and give tribute to Arlee Bird. His last name is Bird and it fits for today. I know a few folks played tribute to him on the first day, but the second day might be more of a surprise.

Any way he is the one who created the event. Now it has grown so big, become so fun and successful he needed to recruit a whole team to run it. But without Bird we might not have this..



The A to Z blogging challenge is a lot of fun and it is addicting too. This is my third year of doing the challenge and I keep coming back.

Arlee Bird also has his own blog called "Tossing it Out" which you can visit here. Thanks for stopping by and I will be back with a new post on Wednesday with smething related to the letter C.
