Take a look at these camping-related items from Allira. :) They're in a bunch of different shops (A Change of Scenery, Armed & Dangerous, and Environments!).

| Monday Music Madness! | |
| Posted by PhantomFire on Apr 09, 2012 12:26 pm | |
| Hello! And welcome to the Forth installment of "Monday Music Madness!" This week we have eight music suggestions for you to try for the Golden Oldies!! We start off this week with a suggestion by Dragonara #7 Band Name:The Beatles. The Beatles were an English rock band formed in Liverpool in 1960, and one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music.[1] The group's best-known lineup consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Rooted in skiffle and 1950s rock and roll, the group later worked in many genres ranging from pop ballads to psychedelic rock, often incorporating classical and other elements in innovative ways. Their enormous popularity first emerged as "Beatlemania"; as their songwriting grew in sophistication by the late 1960s, they came to be perceived by many fans and cultural observers as an embodiment of the ideals shared by the era's sociocultural revolutions. Here now, one of their prettiest songs.."In my Life" Enjoy! In My Life Next up ... The boss!! Bruce Springsteen. Thank you Allira #8! Band Name:Bruce Springsteen Bruce got his start in New Jersey/ Philadelphia area playing local clubs. One Philly area DJ had a belief in his music and passed on a demo to Manfred Mann. Manfred recorded his music and Bruce gained a new audience. Ed Sciaky of WMMR / WIOQ radio never lost belief in Bruce and the two remained friends until Ed's death in 2004. Dancing In The Dark Brenne #13 picked this song by one of my all time favorite bands "Golden Earring". Band Name: Golden Earring Golden Earring are a Dutch rock band, founded in 1961 in The Hague as the Golden Earrings (the 's' was dropped in 1969). They had international chart success with the songs "Radar Love" in 1973, "Twilight Zone" in 1982, and "When the Lady Smiles" in 1984. In their home country, they had over 40 hits and made over 30 gold and platinum albums. My Favorite song by this band "Twilight Zone" Twilight Zone JT #3 sent in this gem from 1986 Band Name: Dream Academy The Dream Academy were an English folk rock band, comprising singer/guitarist Nick Laird-Clowes; multi-instrumentalist (chiefly oboe, English horn player) Kate St John; plus keyboardist Gilbert Gabriel. Listen to Life in a Northern town And lastly one of my all time Favorites, Sent in by Burning Sky #107 Band Name : Big Country Big Country is an internationally-renowned Scottish rock band formed in Dunfermline, Fife in 1981. The height of the band's popularity was in the 1980s, although it retained a cult following for many years after, including the release of several further titles. The band's music was most recognisable for the sounds it infused with Scottish folk and martial music styles, as well as for playing and engineering their guitar driven sound to evoke the inspirational spirit of bagpipes, fiddles and other traditional folk instruments. Try not to dance! Big Country Congrats to this weeks Theme winners. If you didn't win this week it doesn't mean the picks were no good, I received so many! I'll get to them eventually! We WILL have more themes upcoming! And now for my picks this week..In keeping with the 60's 70's and 80's theme some music that rocks my world! One of my all time favorite songs from 1971 Band Name: Rod Stewart Rod Stewart, is a British singer-songwriter, born and raised in North London, England. He is of Scottish and English ancestry. With his distinctive raspy singing voice, Stewart came to prominence in the late 1960s and early 1970s with The Jeff Beck Group and then Faces. Here now one of my favorites from Rod the Mod... Maggie May Up Next, Once known as "The pride Of PA" Warren Zevon! My family has a history with him so ok, maybe I'm partial, but that doesn't negate the fact he's AMAZING! I love most of warrens music, his tongue in cheek style of lyrics and his driving melodies. Sadly in 2003 Warren left us after a fight with lung cancer caused by aesbestos exposure. He is missed! Here now one of his most popular from 1978 Werewolves of London And the best for last, my IDOL Peter Gabriel Formerly the front man for "Genesis" He left to pursue a solo career which did well for him. Multi gold LPs and collaborations with some of the biggest names in the industry today Peter Gabriel is well recognized by his peers as a master. Here now a GREAT live version of my favorite song "Solsbury Hill" Solsbury hill As I stated last week, We want YOUR songs! PLEASE though, don't send more than 2 suggestions at a time. And if you already sent, don't resend. I'm only picking two a week so i'll get to the suggestions I like in due time. It's going to take a bit because of the HUGE response! If you find NEW stuff to suggest, feel free to send, just don't keep sending the same song over and over :) If you wish to suggest music, you must PRIVATE message me directly with the link and the subject line "Suggestion for Music". Theme for next week "Love songs" send in those mushy feel good romance songs that you secretly love to hear!! I'll pick 5 entries! Congrats to: Dragonara #7 Allira #8 Brenne #13 JT #3 Burning Sky #107 for their songs this week! Your Prize will be sent shortly. Also, Last weeks comments were great guys keep it up! Our three "thoughtful" posters last week are: Kami Mi Ke Neko #72 Mrsgunsage #1114 Allira #8 You go guys! Same rules this week. The top three postings on the music this week will win the prize!

Welcome to the Moondance Festival for 2012! As you may or may not know, the Moondance Festival is the official release time of the Wushi breed. The Wushi is only available as a Transformation (or through breeding). What that means is you cannot create a Custom Wushi in the Orb Cavern like other breeds. Wushi require a special item called a Wushi Cabbage which is used from your inventory to Transform an already existing Puma. The existing Puma can be any gender, age, breed, or generation! These Cabbages are ONLY on sale for 2 days a year, so grab them while you can. This is a shorter festival, but there's still a ton of fun packed into it! Here's some of what you can look forward to: Gifting Stump - As always, a themed Gifting Stump is available to send gifts to friends and fellow members. :) Profile Clicks - One of our favorite festival pastimes! During this festival you can light off firecrackers and see what kinds of prizes you get. :) There's a lot of good stuff in there! Wushi Cabbage - These will be on sale in the TE Items Shop on April 2nd and April 3rd ONLY! The price is 20 TE for each Cabbage. We'll make another news announcement once they are available for purchase. :) Shop Items - There are TONS of shop items available! Some of them are Moondance-only, but a few will also be sticking around permanently after the event ends. :) Go take a look and see if you can find them all! Phew, I think I mentioned everything! We hope you all have a great Moondance! Thanks for joining us in the celebration! |
