E2TG 5/18/2021 - Out of Kindness I Suppose - Ash Planet Mix (Chimneyville Remix)

Thinking today about kindness.  First of all - don't believe the hype - kindness still exists and it is all around, you just have to look for it. 

I do feel like in some circles kindness gets a bad rap.  The whole mistaking kindness for weakness thing.  

But then, I heard something yesterday - the whole rant was kind of stupid, and I won't go into details, but the relevant part was some idea that somehow - "toughness" or aggressiveness was kind and gentleness was unkind.  First of all, I do agree that there are times when being direct is ultimately kinder than hedging ones comments. But, that directness issued too abruptly or sharply - can be less than kind. 

Ultimately, I think kindness is thinking of others as well as thinking of ones self (self-kindness is important too).  Apply that how you will... 

The next part of the Featured Friday Playlist covers songs 20-27:

20. "All We Need" by Vela Rosa

Canadian band. 2nd single from forthcoming debut album.

21. "Hold On My Love" by The Ruddy Ruckus

22. "Simple" by Indigo Road

23. "Shine" by Hannah Schzde 

24. "Dreamed Not Felt" by Faraji Heritage Experiment

Fantastic instrumental from this French based composer. Combines jazz fusion, beatmaking, tripping piano, broken beats, warmth, nostalgia, and abstract hip-hop.

25. "Restless" by Nathan Lawr

26. "Absolument" by Luke Concannon

UK artist. I love this song. Check it out.
