Today - our recap of the Playlist continues with songs 17-20...
17. "I'm Okay" by Melting Mallows
Up first, we have the new single from Belgian band Melting Mallows. The band is a 100% DIY band. There music catchy pop/rock. I dig it.
18. "Doorway" by Lefthnd
Next up, we have the lead track from ad mausoleum - the debut album from Richmond, Virginia producer and songwriter Scott Lane who goes by the name Lefthnd. The album features several members of the Richmond music community including members of Butcher Brown - the band perform the new theme song for ESPN's Monday Night Football. Digging this album.
19. "Mode for Titan" by Josh Werner
Next up, we have another debut album - this from bass player Josh Werner - whose impressive credits include work with Lee "Scratch" Perry, Ghostface Killer, Sly and Robbie, and Wu Tang Clan among others. The album was co-produced by Bill Laswell amd released on his M.O.D. Reloaded label. Cool, free jazz, and a wonderful addition to the playlist.
20. "Better Days" by Rick Hromadka
We close out this shuffle with the title and lead track from the new album from singer-songwriter Rick Hromadka of the band Maple Mars. This has a great psychedelic pop sound that I really dig.
Tomorrow - we wrap up our recap with songs 21-24...
"A song in Latin about the importance of comfortable shoes" by Short-Haired Domestic (from Short-Haired Domest)
Featured Friday Playlist
The Short-Haired Domestic album is out containing their long-titled songs about generally mundane things in various languages. A really cool project and great songs from this band featuring Tim Friese-Greene of Talk, Talk.
"Love Minus Zero/No Limits" by Bob Dylan (from The Bootleg Series, Vol. 5 - Bob Dylan Live 1975: The Rolling Thunder Revue)
This song title fascinated me from my first introduction to it and I have also been fascinated by the Rolling Thunder Revue (count me among those who loved the (at times fictional) documentary released last year). This track combines those two fascinations. Fascinating.
"Leave Me" by Kleenex Girl Wonder (from Ponyoak 20th Anniversary Edition)
From the 20th anniversary of the 1999 album Ponyoak, by the New York band Kleenex Girl Wonder. I won't mention how I feel about a 1999 album being over 20 years old... but I will mention - again, that I saw Kleenex Girl Wonder a couple of years ago at Athens Pop Fest.
"Copper Level 7" by David J (from Missive To An Angel From the Halls of Infamy and Allure)
I am so glad, we have been able to featured so much music from David J in recent years - reissues, new albums, and guest spots on other people's songs. I was/am a huge Love and Rockets fan and retroactively a fan of Bauhaus. I dig this album a lot.
"The House" by The Academy of Sun (The Quiet Earth)
And, we close out the shuffle with a track from the recent album by UK melodic alt-pop artists The Academy of Sun. A most excellent track and album.
