Time marches on and we remain mired in uncertainty, chaos, and in the midst of a pandemic that has entered a deadly new wave with almost zero response to curb it. The vaccine news is encouraging but we need to take action now. IF new shutdowns are off the table - then it will take a concerted effort to follow guidelines for mask wearing, social distancing, etc. This is not oppression it is a reasonable reaction to the situation....
Oh yeah, and Trump needs to concede.
We are up to the penultimate recap post for this week's Featured Friday Playlist... songs 21-25:
21. "Free Advice" by Cindy
We featured San Francisco band Cindy earlier this year when their Free Advice album was released. The LP quickly went out of print, but now Mt. St. Mtn. and Tough Love Records from the UK have teamed up to reissue the album. So, we celebrate by revisiting the album via the title track.
22. "Betoni kukkii" by Gim Kordon
Next up, we have the new single from the Finnish band whose name was inspired by the bassist for Sonic Youth. Like that band, Gim Kordon's music is noisy and wonderful. Check it out.
23. "Wide Eyed Lady" by Lou McMahon
Next up, we have a lovely, dark folk song from Irish singer and songwriter Lou McMahon. What a great addition to our Playlist.
24. "I Want You Around" by Sour Ops
Coming closer to home, we have a new single from Nashville's Sour Ops - the band is led by Price Harrison - who was in the early 80s band 69 Tribe and more recently is a part of the band Snakehips -which is led by his brother Mark who is also part of Sour Ops. Pedal steel master Paul Neihaus plays on this track. This is so amazing.
25. "Going to the City" by Antonio Lopez
We close things out today, with a delightful new single from Colorado folk artist Antonio Lopez. I am digging this one quite a bit.
Tomorrow - we wrap up this week's Playlist recap with songs 26-29...
