You know the drill - I am running short on time and a ton of music to get to today.. or no further ado... 

Featured Friday Playlist recap Part 4 (songs 23-28):

23. "Flute In Da Hood" by Ambulance On Fire

First up, we have the opening track from the debut EP by this Lithuanian alternative electroacoustic folk duo.  A really fascinated release worthy of your attention.  

24. "Hole In My Heart" by The Low Countries

Next up, we have the lead track from a new EP from UK band The Low Countries - some really lovely UK folk pop with a murky back story and a great sound. 

25. "Mr. Wolf" by Hans Deville (feat. Andrew J. Davis)

Next up, we have the second single from the forthcoming Prophecies of the Lost (due out in August) from the lock-down album of the guitarist of the UK band King Prawn. Great stuff. 

26. "Infernal Heads" by CULT OF DOM KELLER

Latest single from the experimental rock group that formed in 2007. With elements of industrial and psych. I dig this.  

27. "I Better Run" by Napoleon (feat. Shane Told)

Next up, we have the new single from Toronto based alt-punk band Napoleon.  This track features Shane Told of Silverstein. Fast and noisy just the way I like it. 

28. "Moebius" by Trio Nilo

And, we close out this section of music with a new single from this Spanish progressive jazz - a wonderful instrumental track and a great way to take us out of the playlist for today.

Today, we wrap up our recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist and make way for a new weekly Playlist arriving around midnight or there about.... Songs 26-30...

26. "Video Crash 83" by The Subtheory

First up today, we have a track from the new album by electronic music artist The Subtheory (Andy Hill) who divides his time between L.A. and London.  An awesome instrumental to start things off today.

27. "Numb" by The Agency

Next up, we have the lead track from the seasonally appropriately titles In the Haunted Woods by UK band The Agency.  Cool stuff. Check it out. 

28. "Why" by Shy

Up next, we have a new single from Shy - who is Eritrean-Canadian underground recording artist from Toronto. Adding some undergroup hip-hop to these week's list. 

29. "War Cry" by Ashes to Omens

We move from Toronto hip-hop to Athens, Georgia hard rock - with the latest single from Ashes to Omens. The band formed in 2017 quickly dealing with vocalist James Branton's cancer diagnosis and recovery.  This new track deals with overcoming mental illness during difficult times. A much needed message these days. 

30. "All Eyes" by The Fortune 

We always like to close out each week's playlist with some really interesting music, and this week, we have a new track from The Fortune - a duo of childhood friends from India. Their sound mixes pop music with elements of traditional Indian music.  

See you tomorrow with a new Playlist...

  *Note: The video playlist at the bottom of the post attempts to closely approximate the shuffle I listened to on my way to work this morning. When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.

Fun night at The 5 Spot - with an early show featuring Sally Jaye, Stuffy Shmitt, and Bob Lewis and Megan Palmer. Some of the finest songwriters Nashville has to offer.  Then, $2 Tuesday with Grady Spencer, John Dennis, Derek Hoke, Mercury Blonde, and  Palm Palm.

Let's jump into the shuffle. It's Wednesday - time for a Wild Wednesday shuffle!

Well it's Friday, and the first work week of October is winding down.  Here in Nashville, we are still having summer-like temperatures even as the days get shorter.

Anyway, it is Friday, and we have a typically eclectic shuffle from our "New Music" playlist.

I am back.  I had a training out of the office yesterday - so no shuffle. Today is Friday and it is the last day of August. Plus, it is the start of a three day holiday weekend here in the U.S.  I am looking forward to a visit to my hometown tomorrow and a trek to the Muddy Roots Festival just north of there on Sunday.  The festival is going on all weekend and has some great acts covering an increasingly wide range to musical styles. Sunday's killer line-up includes Nashville-related folks like Smoky White Devils, Joshua Black Wilkins, and Sarah Shook and more.  Plus X, Meat Puppets, The Dead Boys, and much more.  twelve hours of great music.  I will be helping out Smoky White Devil's early in the day, and then hanging some at the WXNA tent. If you are at Muddy Roots - come see me.

It is Friday and we have some "Featured Friday" tunes to...um... feature. Let's shuffle for one last time this week and this month.  Then, I will see you in September.

There is something about Tuesday... I know it is cliche to hate Monday and love Friday.  I don't "hate" Tuesday, but here's the thing.  When it is Monday, there is a faint (if false) sense that if you don't like the week, you can turn around and be back in the weekend.  But Tuesday... well, on Tuesday, you are fully embedded in the week, and that glimmer of (false) hope is gone. There is nothing to do but power through...

At least, here at E2TG Tuesday means we dig into our "New Music" playlist and celebrate some of the awesome music that has been sent my way in the recent and sort of recent past.
