I think the thing about lines - thinking about lines in the sand or lines we say we will never cross or whatever is that once you cross that line - there are more lines and soon that original line is barely even discernable behind you and the importance of that line becomes lost.
I have been thinking about this on several different levels, and there is something important I have to say about it.. but I think I will leave it at that for now.
Time to wrap up this week's Featured Friday Playlist recap and get ready for a new playlist hitting around midnight (or tomorrow morning if I fall asleep). As always, I save some of the most interesting music of the week for this last segment (it's a trick to keep you all listening) Songs 26-29:
26. "Lord Won't Come" by Nero Kane
We open up with segment with the lead single from the new album, Tales of Faith and Lunacy, by Italian dark psyche folk artist Nero Kane. Cool stuff.
27. "Brave the Storm" by Last Year's Man (feat. Anna Tivel)
Next up, we celebrate the release of the new album by Eugene, Oregon based singer-songwriter Last Year's Man (aka Tyler Fortier) by adding the title track to this week's Playlist. This track features the fabulous Ana Tivel.
28. "Great Big White World" by Dead Girls Corp.
How about a Marilyn Manson cover? How about it? Up next, we have the new single from L.A. based industrial band Dead Girls Corp - with their cover of this 1998 Manson song. A cool addition to this week's playlist.
29. "Oxygen" by Pat Murry
We close out this week's playlist with the title track from the third album by Wisconsin-based hip-hop artist Pat Murry. This confessional track really resonated with me for reasons I can't fully explain. In event, I am glad to have this track round out this week's playlist.
I hope I have fulfilled my mission to bring together as diverse and wonderful a playlist as I can - and to introduce you to some new music you might not otherwise hear. As I mention, tomorrow, we will be back with a whole new list.
"Club Hoppin'" by Danny Sandock (from Back to Unreality 2010)
Going back a decade to this song from our old friend Danny Sandock. I remember when Club Hoppin' was something to do.
"The Leader" by Musta Paraati (from Black Parade 2018)
When Finnish post-punk band Musta Paraati released Black Parade a couple of years ago, it was their first album in 34 years. The cover photo was shot by the same photographer and was a recreation of the cover photo on their debut album. One of our favorites from that year.
"Heart Above Water" by Stuffy Shmitt (from Twelve Songs 2012)
The final pre-release single from Stuffy's new album Stuff Happens is released tomorrow. The album is his first in 8 years. This is a track from that album released shortly before his move to Nashville.
"Last One Standing" by Solar Twin (from Written & Produced by Shane Tutmarc 2020)
This is a recent single from the new career retrospective album by Shane Tutmarc - covering his many incarnations and bands. Tutmarc recently got married at Graceland in Memphis. Congrats Shane!
"Fall With Me" by Telepathic Teddy Bear (single 2020)
We close things out today with a single from earlier this year by this electronic music artist from Mexico who has been an E2TG favorite for several years. Always cool to have TTB in the shuffle.
