Life is overwhelming - maybe it always is... and yes, sometimes you need planning and coordination, but for people like me it is a fine line between planning and coordination and obsessing and worrying. Sometimes, you just have to make it up as you go along and trust in something - God, the cosmos, fate? that things will all come together and even if they don't come together - you will still have a chance to figure it all out.
Featured Friday Playlist (songs 32-38)
32. "Saw Daddy" by Common Sage
First up today, we have a wonderful track from Might As Well Eat The Chicken, We Won't Be Here In The Morning - the brand new EP from New York band Common Sage. The album comes out a period of transition for the band which preceded and coincided with the pandemic.
33. "Girls Just Want to Dance" by Modesty Blaise
Next up, we have the lead single from the forthcoming new album from this UK Avant-pop band. Really great stuff.
34. "Talk to Me" by Emperor Penguin; Orbis Max
This new release - Corporation Pop! - contains all three of the band's earlier EPs plus four new tracks. It serves as a great introduction to this London based band. They have a wonderful sound - check it out.
35. "Kill" by All Hallowed
Next up, we have the stunning debut single from this Dayton, Ohio based band. It is described as dance punk - and that comes through in the grooves and the power of the relatively short track.
36. "Screaming Into Oblivion" by Sharone
Next up, we have the latest from Denver based dark rock artist Sharone. Cool tune.
37. "Sunshine" by Jacob the Horse
Next, we have the first single in four years by the band that formed in L.A. and which features all east coast natives. Really cool pop punk sound.
38. "Judgement" by Genus Ordinis Dei
As always, I save one of our more interesting tracks to close out the Playlist for the week. This is - I believe - our second time featuring this symphonic death metal band from Italy. The album Glare of Deliverance was released in December, and is a concept album of a sort - each song stands alone and the band is releasing videos for each songs as "episodes". This is Episode six. Check out the band to see the videos.
Featured Friday Playlist
Thursday Morning Shuffle
"Bad Intentions & a Bit of Cruelty" by Wendy James (single - 2016)
An awesome single we featured (can it be almost five years ago???) from former Transvision Vamp frontperson.
"Give it All a Mix" by Monks Road Social (feat. Kathryn Williams) (from Humanism - 2020)
A UK collective led by Dr. Robert (The Blow Monkeys) and featuring a cast of veteran and new musicians. We featured this album last year.
"Wild in the Blood (Take 6, Acoustic)" by Michael McAthur (from Oh, Sedona - 2020)
Another from last year - an acoustic EP from this singer-songwriter and Florida native.
"True True Love" by Rich Krueger (from The Troth Sessions - 2020)
E2TG Artist of the Year (oh and Kerrville New Folk Winner) Rich Kruger released The Troth Sessions last year. This was the pre-release single. One of my favorite songwriters.
"Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" by The Animals (single - 1965)
Originally recorded by Nina Simone in 1964. This is probably the best known version. It became an international hit for the band led by Eric Burdon.
"Bing Bang Boom" by Jeff Mamett (from Carry Me Back - 2018)
And we close out this shuffle with a track from the 2018 album by the singer-songwriter who returned to the music business in 2013 after a quarter century away raising kids and working in the cattle business. Really awesome music.
