Five on the 5th - October 2011

It is time once again for Five on the 5th, and this month, Stephen Chapman has given the theme of PLEASURE. To tell the truth, I've been busy the last month or so, attending parties and soccer games for my niece, nephew, and great-nephew. And taking pictures. So, several of my selections for this month will come out of those events. If you'd like to check out the others who are taking part in Five on the 5th, click here and pick different sites from the list on the page.



As I am wont to add music to all my posts, I decided to go with Kate Bush' Moments Of Pleasure, to abide by the theme presented. It is the new version, from the album Director's Cut. You can find the album anywhere music is sold, including iTunes and Amazon. So hit play, and check out the new pictures.

Five on the 5th - October

Once again it is time for Stephen Chapman's Five on the 5th posts, and once again I am taking part in the fun. This month Stephen made the suggestion of 'Round', and I kind of followed that theme.

Look forward to seeing what everyone else has to offer. Feel free to post some pictures, and visit Stephen here to list your post with everyone else.

Five on the 5th - Reminder for October

It is time to remind everyone that this coming Tuesday is time to post your pictures for the latest Five on the 5th. According to the reminder I got from Stephen Chapman:

It's almost time for the next "5 on the fifth". As usual, everyone is welcome to take part. You can either take 5 random pictures of something that happens to you on the 5th of October (or the days leading up to it) or perhaps go for my suggested theme. This month, the theme is 'Round'.

So, everyone out there with a camera, shoot away the first weekend of the month and join in the fun!

Happy ROCKtober!

Posting is a bit light as I am under the weather, but I couldn't let the new month start without a little something. Since this is ROCKtober, I thought I would start the month out with a little rock and roll. The first entry hails from Ireland, and my boys of U2. Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullin, Junior, and Adam Clayton have been making music together for more than thirty years, and still going strong. This is October from 1981 album of the same name.



The band Evanescence has a dense and driven sound that rose above the din of American Rock in the early 2000s to truly stand out and earn the Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Ben Moody and Amy Lee started the band in Little Rock, Arkansas, and they stayed together for a couple of years until creative differences drove them apart. Lead singer Lee continues on with the band, while guitarist and many of the original members of the band went on to form We Are The Fallen with singer Carly Smithson. The song October is from their Unreleased CD, with the original band members.



I guess I shall return to Ireland with the incredible voice of Dolores O'Riordan for the third and final entry tonight. O'Riordan came to my attention when she was lead singer of the amazing band The Cranberries. After the group disbanded in 2003, she went solo and has 2 albums to date. On her 2007 album, Are You Listening?, she had the beautiful song, October.



So, happy ROCKtober!
