Really ready for a long holiday weekend... But, I will be back Friday with the new Featured Friday Playlist. Stay tuned. Meanwhile, we have one more recap post and a brand new shuffle to get to today.
Stay safe everyone.
Well, it is time to wrap up this week's Featured Friday Playlist recap. No post tomorrow, but we will be back Friday with yet another all-new Featured Friday Playlist. Today - songs 23-28:
23. "These Days Are Ours" by Candy Opera
We start this last segment of music for the week with a track from the seriously long-awaited debut album by Liverpool band Candy Opera. It is their first new collection of music in over three decades. They recently released a couple of compilations of older music. A cool addition to our playlist.
24. "Roses All Around" by Soft Kill
Next up, we have a track from Dead Kids R.I.P. City - the new album by this Portland, Oregon based band whose sound is a great combination of post punk and shoegaze. It dig this a lot.
25. "Like Everyday" by Saccades
Next, we have the new single from this solo project of Manchester based (Edit: He may be based in Berlin) Nicholas Woods of The KVB. Really cool electronic sounds to this one and chill vocals. Check it out.
26. "The Way I Am" by Joe Fox & the Frantics
Next, we have the new single from L.A. based indie rock band Joe Fox & the Frantics. Cool tune.
27. "Dedicated" by Paperwing
Paperwing is the project of Swedish composer and producer Jenny Soovik. Avant-garde pop with a dreamy sound backed by a formal musical education. A wicked combination.
28. "BadxGood" by RUMBLE, Too Many T's
And, we close this segment of music and this week's Playlist with the latest single from Chinese Man Records and a track from the forthcoming new album from RUMBLE. A great way to close out the Playlist.
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone
Featured Friday Playlist
"Say My Name" by Superchunk (from Guilt by Association 2007)
We start off this rather interesting shuffle with a cover of the Destiny's Child hit by the Chapel Hill, North Carolina based indie rock band Superchunk. Guilt by Association is a compilation of cover songs by various artists doing their favorite "guilty pleasure" song. For what it's worth, if a song brings you pleasure, there is no need for guilt - ever.
"Riffs for Everyone" by Benny Goodman (from Meeting at the Summit 1965)
Next up, we have Benny Goodman doing a Leonard Bernstein composition.
"Girls on Film" by Duran Duran (feat. Andy Wickett) (from Girls on Film 1979 Demo 2017)
From the earliest Duran Duran demos - an early version of "Girls on Film" featuring vocalist Andy Wickett. These demos were released in 2017.
"You Made It Look Easy" by Beth McKee (from Dreamwood Acres 2018)
Next up, the album that introduced us to singer-songwriter Beth McKee. McKee was a part of the late 80s/early 90s country band Evangeline. She is also the driving force between the Swamp Sistas collective to support women songwriters from the South.
"fucked" by Eugenius (from Midlife 2020)
Next up, we have a track from the new album by Cincinnati, Ohio based Eugenius.
"Rough Side" by Adam Carroll (from Let it Choose You 2014)
And for the second day in a row - we have an Adam Carroll songs. This time from his 2014 album. Seriously, he is one of the most consistently great songwriter around these days.
