Once again, I just wanted to put something in that middle part of the blog post title... it doesn't really mean anything. Kind of a frustrating week really - much time spent on things that didn't pan out... and I am really tired today, but both radio shows went well and I am falling into a good rhythm with the two shows. 

On we go... 

And, we've reached the end of this week's Playlist recap. As always, I saved some cool music for last...

(songs 29-34):

29. "Here Comes Our Family" by Scott Robert Allen

First up today, we have the new solo album from Michigan based songwriter/singer Scott Robert Allen (Thunderbirds Are Now!, Red Shirt Brigade). It is his first new music following a decade long hiatus. 

30. "Goodbye Seems to Only Start Again" by Brian Bringelson

Next up, we have the new solo album from this California singer/songwriter (Anchor & Bear) who previously released solo music under the name Paul Starling. 

31. "For the Dead" by The Red Step

Next up, we have a track from the self-titled debut album by The Red Step - which features Tobias Nathaniel of The Black Heart Procession who is backed by some of Belgrade's best musicians. 

32. "Roll the Dice" by Feral Ghost

Last week, we had the new single from Feralman - now, we have a track from the British rock band Feral Ghost. Great stuff. 

33. "In Secure City" by Julez and the Rollerz

Next up, we have some new music from L.A. 21st Century garage band formerly known as Julez. 

34. "STEEZ LUIZ" by GUSPY 

And we close out this week's Playlist with the debut single from an artist from Santa Ana who combines surf rock, indie pop, and reggae. A great debut and a wonderful way to take us out of this week's playlist and to prepare for a new playlist hitting around midnight.

E2TG 5/21/2020 - Something Goes Here - We Will Again Mix (A Grief Ago Remix)

So, I have continued to think about E2TG and what I can do differently. It is just something I do.

This space was meant to be a place for... well... that is a good question.  An introduction...  Originally, I thought this would be where I would post short recaps of live music, but... well you know how that one goes...

So, I have this idea to try starting next week.  We shall see.  That is what E2TG has always been a long-running experiment. I can't even begin to count how many "New Features" I have introduced only to abandon after a few (or even one) occurrences. Sometimes, ideas sound good in my brain but in reality they don't work out...

Anyway, tomorrow, we will unveil a new Featured Friday Playlist.  Remember you can follow the playlist on Spotify so you don't have to wait until I do my blog post tomorrow.

Heading into a three day stay-at-home weekend.  I will be back tomorrow with a brand new Featured Friday playlist.  If you follow the playlist on Spotify, I usually update just after midnight or early in the morning if I fall asleep before midnight.  (Midnight is when most new releases go live) - so you can check it before post it on the blog.  I have a good "on-deck" list with several new releases set to hit.

Not much else to say today, So, let's get right to the shuffle - a longer (almost a pre-newnormal normal shuffle)
