Monday's Music Moves Me: National Battery Day

Today apparently it is National Battery Day. Keeping with that theme the topic for Monday's Music Moves Me is songs featuring Smoke, Alarm, Battery and Charge.

This song will probably be used a lot but it is a good one.

                                                          Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water"

Yo La Tengo "False Alarm"

Metallica "Battery"

"Calvary Charge"

I think my choices will wake you up. On a serious note it is important to test the batteries in smoke detectors from time to time. No one wants to sing this song about their home.

Talking Heads "Burning Down the House"

Battle of the Bands:The Cure longing for Friday

It's a rainy, dreary Monday here so maybe, Friday would be a better thought. Some of you may even have a love affair for Friday. I'm not here to judge! I'm just here to share a battle of the bands.

How it works: I post two versions of the songs. You listen to the songs and let me know which one you thought was the best in the comments. I count up the votes and announce a winner at a later day which will be around May 7.

The Song: The Cure "Friday, I'm in Love"

We don't vote on the original. We vote on the contestants.

Contestant One: Natalie Imbruglia

Contestant Two: Yo La Tengo
