Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!



Today, we wrap up our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist and make way for a new weekly Playlist arriving around midnight or there about.... Songs 26-30...




26. "Video Crash 83" by The Subtheory
First up today, we have a track from the new album by electronic music artist The Subtheory (Andy Hill) who divides his time between L.A. and London.  An awesome instrumental to start things off today.
27. "Numb" by The Agency
Next up, we have the lead track from the seasonally appropriately titles In the Haunted Woods by UK band The Agency.  Cool stuff. Check it out. 
28. "Why" by Shy
Up next, we have a new single from Shy - who is Eritrean-Canadian underground recording artist from Toronto. Adding some undergroup hip-hop to these week's list. 
29. "War Cry" by Ashes to Omens
We move from Toronto hip-hop to Athens, Georgia hard rock - with the latest single from Ashes to Omens. The band formed in 2017 quickly dealing with vocalist James Branton's cancer diagnosis and recovery.  This new track deals with overcoming mental illness during difficult times. A much needed message these days. 
30. "All Eyes" by The Fortune 
We always like to close out each week's playlist with some really interesting music, and this week, we have a new track from The Fortune - a duo of childhood friends from India. Their sound mixes pop music with elements of traditional Indian music.  
See you tomorrow with a new Playlist... 


 
    Featured Friday Playlist



Thursday Morning Shuffle

"Jerusalem Tomorrow" by David Olney (from The Stone 2012)
One of my favorite David Olney songs - about a conman/"miracle" worker who happends upon the real thing at a fateful moment. Olney was one among the first of the 2020 losses and the one that hit closest to home for me. 
"Alone in the Garden" by Dentist (from Night Swimming 2018)
Next up, we have a track from an album we featured a couple of years ago. Dentist are a female-fronted surf-punk tinged indie-pop band from Asbury Park, New Jersey. They formed in 2013 and have some new music coming in 2021.
"The Last Blues" by Watermelon Slim (from Traveling Man - Disc 1 - The Blue Door 2020)
Watermelon Slim is definitely among the most colorful and fascinating artists that I have covered at E2TG. Originally from the Boston area - his life story is the stuff of blues legend. A card-carrying member of Mensa, a one-time truck driver, the owner of a blues club in Clarksdale, and yes, a Watermelon farmer; Mississippi, Watermelon Slim (aka William Homans III) is a student of the blues - learning to play slide guitar while listening to Mississippi Fred McDowell records from a hospital in Vietnam. He released a double live album earlier this year. 
"Tupelo" by Magnolia Bayou (from Strange Place 2020)
Like, Watermelon Slim, Magnolia Bayou have ties to the musically rich soil of Mississippi. The band hails from Gulfport, and their music - which owes influences across the musical spectrum is consistent with the gumbo of American music which has emerged from the bayous and swamps of the gulf coast states since the middle part of the last century.  The album was released about a month ago, and I dig it.
"Cereal Man" by Danny Henry (from Danifest Destiny 2019)
Connecticut native and current California resident Danny Henry released his long-awaited album Danifest Destiny late last year.  A consummate entertainer in the truest sense of that word - Henry released the animated video to this long recently.  He performed this song at my birthday show a few years back during his move to the West Coast.
