Music Monday - Mr. Sandman

Okay, so this is going to be a short post, but I haven't done a Music Monday in awhile, and this song has been stuck in my head so I figured I'd share it with you.

As I mentioned before, I love Bates Motel, and a recurring song on the show is Mr. Sandman. There's just something about Norma and Norman singing it together, as Norma plays the piano, that really creeps me out - which is probably why I like it so much.

Since Bates Motel just loves to make things extra creepy for us, there was a scene in an episode towards the end of the season (4x09) that was disturbing enough in itself, but then the producers just decided to up the creep-factor by adding in this eerie rendition of Mr. Sandman. I've been humming it non-stop lately, even singing it occasionally (and I am not a very good singer). I can't seem to get it off my mind, and it's quite catchy, so I think it's going to be background music for a while more.

For anyone watching Bates Motel, did you see that finale? So crazy! Leave some comments and let me know what you think–I need to talk to someone about that ending!

Music Monday - Lunatic by KONGOS

Music Monday time, with KONGOS Lunatic!

Most of us know KONGOS song "Come With Me Now," and I recently heard their "I'm Only Joking" on Netflix's original show Hemlock Grove. I love these songs so much I decided to get the whole album. I am very glad that I did. I'm still making my way through all the songs and associating music with titles, but I love everything I've heard so far. KONGOS has a great style of music, and you should definitely give them a listen. I need to get my hands on their debut, self-titled album ASAP!

Here's a link to the song that really got me obsessed with them:

Also, the band is made up of four brothers! How cool is that?
