One thing occurred me - thinking back on yesterday's post. Thinking about the immensity of the issues faces the world and the country and the state and the city... is that the best place to start making changes is with ourselves. One thing I learned in a previous part of my life is that if something is bothering your about someone else's behavior is to look at where you may have a similar behavior in your own life. It isn't always easy - because your own behavior may be quiet different but often if you take the time and make the effort to look - you will something somehow related to that bothersome behavior that you can work on in yourself. And that is often more productive since it is next to impossible to change other people's behavior.
Today - we move on in our Featured Friday recap - with songs 18-23:
18. "Looking Through the Glass" by Kieran Mercer
First up, we have the new single single from Canadian singer-songwriter Kieran Mercer - who released his debut EP in 2016. This is his first independent release.
19. "Noyalain (Burn)" by Lisa Gerard; Jules Maxwell
Next up, we have the first single from the forthcoming (May 7) album Burn. Lisa Gerrard is a founding member of the band Dead Can Dance.
20. "I Wanna Be a Teenage Boy" by Zoe FitzGerald Carter
Next up, we have a new track from this Bay area songwriter and memorist. This song (from the forthcoming album Waterlines) manages to be fun and intriguing, and it is worth a close listen.
21. "The City's Coming Down" by The New Ravis
Next up, we have a song born out of the mental health strain of the last year - from this indie duo from Galway. Really strong addition to the playlist.
22. "Collide (Bury My Heart)" by Golden Streets of Paradise
Next up, we have the lead track from the new 3 song mini-EP from this Cleveland, Ohio duo. Really digging this.
23. "Taming Monsters" by Stefan Prigmore
And, we close with a powerful track from the full length debut album by this Texas singer-songwriter. An excellent album - check it out.
Featured Friday Playlist
"Please Nessie" by Jim Wyly (from The Artisan - 2018)
We start with the first of two tracks from two very different albums we featured and loved in 2018. First up, we have a deep cut from the debut solo album by Texas singer-songwriter Jim Wyly. The Artisan was produced by Chuck Hawthorne.
"Repeat" by The Mouse Outfit (ft. Dubble O,Sparkz and Ellis Meade) (from Jagged Tooth Crook - 2018)
South Manchester hip-hop collective - The Mouse Outfit put out a favorite of ours in 2018 called Jagged Tooth Crook. The outfit is big on collaboration and original sounds.
"Cinnamon" by Lost Woods (single - 2018)
Also from 2018 - this single slipped by us back then - one of the reasons, I switched up how E2TG works is to be able to cover more music. Lost Woods is an indie rock band from Adelaide, Australia - this July release was the bands first 2018 single, and it is a great track. Happy it popped up today.
"I Bake the Bread" by Reckless Johnny Wales (from End It With a Love Song - 2019)
The prolific and colorful Nashville legend Reckless Johnny made an album of love songs back in 2019. This song was written by Reckless' multi-talented better half - Denise Fussell.
"My Little Corner of the World" by Bonsai Universe (from Too Many Ghosts - 2019)
Guitarist Woody Aplanalp has an impressive resume of artists he has backed. This album was one of our favorites of 2019.
"Behave" by Summer Cannibals (from Can't Tell Me No - 2019)
And we close with a track from the Portland band led by my cousin Jessica Boudreaux who has spent much of the last year battling cancer and who recently released a solo single.
