E2TG 4/8/2021 - Dreaming My Life Away - Way Too Hard Mix (Clarity Remix)

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

Got out last night - visited Sid Gold's Request Room and partook of food from the Dreamers food truck.  Dreamers was started by Doug and Telisha Williams (aka Wild Ponies) and photographer Laura Schneider after the pandemic shut down their normal careers. 

The story of Dreamers* is inspirational in the best way. A prime example of turning adversity into triumph (and not personal triumph so much as triumph for the world). The Roasted Vegetable bowl I had was delish, too.  

*I don't have the time to recount the story - but here is a link you can check out.  

I can't believe it is time to wrap up this week's Featured Friday Playlist (As always we saved some great music for our final segment) Songs 47-55

47. "Knocks Me On the Floor" by Julez and the Rollerz

Southern California rock and rollers (formerly known as Julez) with their latest single. We featured the first single a few weeks back.

48. "Gravedigger" by The Damn Devils

Recorded remotely over the internet (which they were doing before the pandemic). This band features two brothers-in-law and a childhood friend of one of them. Brought together life-long love of rock and roll. 

49. "How to Weigh a Whale Without a Scale" by Leanie Kaleido

The title track from the recent album by this UK singer-songwriter. The album was produced by Ride front man Mark Gardener.  Kaleido's father was the original lead guitarist for the Yardbirds. 

50. "The Call" by Death of a Legend

This is the third single (and our second feature) of the rock and roll band who emerged from the hardcore scene in Milano, Italy. 

51. "I Am the Dance Floor" by Art d'Ecco

A fascinating artist from Vancouver - who brings a classic style and a modern sound - blurring whatever lines he can. I dig this a lot. 

52. "Landscape Simulation" by The Green Kingdom

The Green Kingdom is the solo project of Michael Cottone a sound artist from Michigan.  This was released on sound of silence records - a diy label from Athens, Greece.

53. "Through Somebody Else's Eyes - Leaether Strip Remix" by Nature of Wires

Nature of Wires is a UK artist who have been doing originals and remixes since the mid 1980s.  Here they get the remix treatment from the legendary Danish EBM artist Leaether Strip. 

54. "High Teens Low Twenties" by Ritual Cloak

Single from the forthcoming Divine Invasion album (due May 7) by this band from Cardiff, Wales (yes more Welsh music.)

55. "Monsters Mind Consuming" by Manntra

And we end on a high note with our second track to feature from this Balkan folk-metal band who combine Croatian folk influences with metal and industrial music from an original sound. A great way to take us out.

I am running short on time and I had some technical difficulties - but here goes nothing... 
 

Well, I had written the final recap of this week's Featured Friday Playlist, but then then it disappeared, and I am short on time.. so here are the songs and what I can remember: Songs 28-32

"Divisions" by Charlie Nieland

Well-known NYC producer and artist with his latest.

"New Wave" by Aurang

New single - I don't know much about the artist, but I dig the music. 

"Duality" by RUMBLE (feat. Rhyme Time)

Recent release from the folks at Chinese Man Records - the members of RUMBLE are all veterans of the label. 

"Lust" by All Hallowed (feat. Vinnie Caruana)

The second single we have featured from this dance/punk band from Ohio. 

"Silent Trees" by Pentral 

And we close with a 7+ minute debut from this prog rock band from Brazil. Their album was mixed by the legendary producer Tim Palmer (Tin Machine, U2, The Mission, Tears for Fears and more).
