It's my half-birthday!  Also, I am short on time- so my shuffle descripts might be minimal. Sorry. 

Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 4) (songs 24-28):

24. "Nightfall" by Sophie Janna

First up today, we have a beautiful new single from this singer-songwriter based in Amsterdam.  It is the second single from the forthcoming World Wide EP - which is her first EP of original music. 

25. "Ma Gnossienne" by Kety Fusco

Next up, we have a truly original work from an Italian-Swiss harpist and composer based in Switzerland. It is a reinvention of a 19th century work by the French composer Erik Satie. This new piece features the harp played in most unconventional ways. Wonderful. 

26. "Sunshine" by Pablo Infernal

Next up, we have the second single of 2021 from this four-piece band from Zurich. The band members bring in Swiss, Albanian, Brazilian, and Italian heritage into this unique rock sound. 

27. "Palm" by Lesser Care

Next up, we have a post-punk shoegaze band from El Paso Texas - with a double 7" inch single released ahead of their debut album which is being finalized as I write this. 

28. "Sweet Company" by His His

And we close this segment of music with a track from the debut EP by Toronto based artist Aidan Belo - who records as His His. A great track to take us out of our recap today...

E2TG 2/24/2021 - Mid-Week and Indecisive Seasons - Favorite Picture Mix (Shake a Tail Feather Remix)

Tweet #E2TG

Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!

Here in Nashville - it is like Mother Nature is not sure what season it is supposed to be.  After a week of snow and ice and frigid temperatures, yesterday and today have been near or just above 70.  I am not going to complain about the warmer weather, but I am also not going to take for granted that it is still winter and that chances are we are going to have more cold weather ahead. 

But, indecisiveness is what is on my mind. I can understand that tendency.  To me, the crux of the problem is the conflict between confidence, courage, cautiousness, and forethought.  "He who hestiates is lost" but my head says, "he who acts without thought lives to regret it". I don't know where the balance between those two is... but I am aware of missed opportunities because I delayed on something and someone else acted first. But, I am also aware of times, I acted in haste and regretted the action.  

So, I guess to go back to the weather which prompted this post, I should just take each day, each moment has it comes and make the best decisions I know how to make.   

Featured Friday (Songs 22-26):'

22. "Now Your Life's Gone" by Keith Mosfet

First up today, we have a Canadian/Irish singer-songwriter with his most recent single. Good stuff.

23. "Dying on the Vine" by Unify Separate

Next up, we have a collaboration between a Scottish singer (Andrew Montgomery - of Geneva) and a Swedish synth musician (Leo Josefsson  - of Lowe) - their latest single deals with the public nature of life in the modern age. 

24. "Lights of the City" by Distant Voices

Distant Voices is the solo moniker of London-based Valdis Stekelis, and the song is the debut single from this new project, and it is a most impressive debut. 

25. "Owl in the Parlour" by Cathal Coughlan

Next up, the new single from this UK artist of Microdisney and The Fatima Mansions.  A really great track. 

26. "Retrograde" by Goosechase 
 

And, we close out this segment of music with a track from the debut EP from Denison, Texas based singer-songwriter Goosechase. The EP was self-produced and sounds fantastic.

It is Friday, and that means it is time for another Featured Friday Playlist!  This week's list is slightly shorter than recent weeks but it is jam packed with wonderful music - as usual, our selections come from all over the world, cross almost every conceivable genre.  Because the list was short, there are some special treats in this week's list that might otherwise not have made the list. I hope you enjoy and please follow the list on Spotify if you are so moved. 

We recap the first six songs after the jump, and we will recap the rest of the list all next week in this space. 

Peace out!
