The Fluffing Misfits for some Halloween crochet amigurumi fun on ttt
Hello hello silver bloggers, music lovers and Hello hivers!
Inspiration don't you just love it? Well it hits in different places and I love it when I get inspiration from fellow Hivers.
Today though the inspiration comes from RL! Yes that thing outside of Hive lol!
Mrs T had found some wee crochet pattern recently and was making skeletons.
This was a big sized one, stuffed it is and they call it amigurumi.
She took a small white one to work to put on her desk, when a couple of folk there wanted one.
One guy wanted one for his girlfriend, she loved the light olive green colour and her favourite band is The Misfits, so he wanted Mrs T to do something like their logo!
Well considering how fluffing small this is and worked with yarn that looks like thread I think she did a fluffing decent job!
So surprise surprise today we are having three tunes from The Misfits
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
Do go support
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
This week, I'm diving into the dark and delightful world of a band that practically invented "horror punk"... The Misfits.
Formed in Lodi, New Jersey, in 1977, The Misfits quickly carved out a unique niche with their blend of raw punk rock energy, catchy melodies, and lyrics heavily inspired by B-movie horror, sci-fi, and cult films.
Their iconic imagery, featuring the "fiend skull" logo and devilocks, became instantly recognizable and deeply influential. While their lineup has seen many changes over the decades, the early era with Glenn Danzig on vocals is often considered their most seminal, laying the groundwork for countless punk, metal, and alternative bands that followed. They're a band whose influence far outweighs their initial commercial success, leaving an indelible mark on music and counter-culture.
Let's get into the tunes!
Before we start ... Do you know where they got their name from???
The tune that inspired this weeks ttt.
Tune 1 - Misfits ~ Hybrid Moments
First up is a classic that perfectly encapsulates their early sound. Short, fast, and incredibly catchy, "Hybrid Moments" is a fan favorite.
Released: 1982
Album: Static Age (though recorded in 1978, the full album wasn't officially released until much later)
Tune 2 - Misfits - Astro Zombies
This track is a prime example of their horror and sci-fi obsession. It's got that driving Misfits rhythm and a chorus that's impossible not to shout along to.
Released: 1982
Album: Walk Among Us
We finish up with another album only track
Tune 3 - Misfits - Die, Die My Darling
I managed to find a much later performance, this is from Boxing Day in 2009 which is December 26th! Pretty sweet gig to see as it had Danzig and Doyle onstage.
One of their most iconic songs, "Die, Die My Darling" is a powerful, almost anthemic track that shows a slightly more melodic side while still retaining all their punk aggression.
It was of course covered by Metallica, further cementing its legendary status.
Released: 1984 (as a single)
Album: Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood
So there you have it — my three picks for a very "Misfits" kind of week.
Which was your favourite tune? Or have you never heard of Misfits
Oh yes ... The answer ...
The band took their name from Marilyn Monroe's final film, The Misfits (1961)
Note: The 3 YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant happy fun and terrific Tuesday until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
Thanks for visiting!
