Time for another Featured Friday Playlist. A busy week, so the list is a bit shorter than usual, eventually I will catch up - maybe. Regardless, we have some great new and recent music in the mix.
Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 4) (songs 24-28):
24. "Cool California" by Wet Tropics
Chicago-based indie punk band who recently issued their debut album on vinyl. The album was first released and sold out on cassette in November of last year. The album is called Everybody Get In
25. "Isla" by Film School
One of two recent single from the California indie rock band that first formed in 1998.
26. "Cinnamon Toast" by Lenny
Lenny, an indie folk/pop singer from British Columbia, returns to the Playlist with a track from her debut EP Personal Celebrity.
27. "I Love You Maybe" by Memoryy
Next up, a song written for a Madonna-themed documentary called Smelly Little Town.
28. "Free of This Disease" by Jai Agnish
And, we close this penultimate section of the playlist with a track from this New Jersey-based indie/electro artist. A great way to close us out for the day.
Tomorrow, we wrap up our Playlist recap with the final five songs. Stay tuned.
I can't believe it is almost time for another Featured Friday Playlist. Our final recap is below...
Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 5) (songs 29-33):
29. "Vacation" by New Voyage
Here is where I am going to own up.... I had gotten an e-mail about a band called New Voyage. I downloaded their song, and then around midnight last Thursday, I went to Spotify to find it to add to the new playlist. I found New Voyage and a new release and I added this and went on about my business. Turns out this isn't that New Voyage (what are the odds) but this is chill and I will have the other New Voyage in the playlist next week.
30. "The King is Dead" by The Cuttthroat Brothers (feat. Mike Watt)
I will never not add a Mike Watt related track to the Playlist. This is just the latest (probably not anymore) - wherein Watt joins forces with two garage punk barbers who he had interviewed from his Watt from Pedro show.
31. "Palm of Your Hand" by Billy Hammer
Topanga, California based Billy Hammer had previously made lo-fi music - but his new track is an upbeat groovy tune. Check it out.
32. "Look at Me Now" by ELIOT
Next up, we have the latest single from this Hollywood based indie singer.
33. "Non-Typical Find" by Tylor & the Train Robbers
And we close this week's playlist recap with the title track from the new album by this band from Boise, Idaho. The album was produced by Cody Braun of Reckless Kelly. A really great 6 minute plus tune. As I say every week, we saved something really cool for the end.
So, I realized that I have reported on how I am doing, but I don't think I have asked how you are doing? I know a lot of people are struggling on several different levels. But, what about you?
How are you coping? Are you coping? What do you need?
All sorts of confusing information and differing opinions, but today, I just want to know, how are you?
Featured Friday Playlist
Tuesday Morning Shuffle
Short on time today, but we have a nifty little shuffle.
"Graham Smith is The Strongest Man Alive" by Kleenex Girl Wonder (from Ponyoak 20th Anniversary Edition)
From the 20th Anniversary of their classic album. Graham Smith is the sole constant member of this indie rock band that formed in the suburbs of Chicago.
"Wahoo" by John Paul Daniel (from All is Well)
A track from the 2016 album by the singer-songwriter and folk artist from Kingston Springs, Tennessee.
"paperboy" by Pat Power (from Original Nature EP)
Our old pal, Pat Power (Valued Customer) with a track from a 2017 EP. This track is not on YouTube (that I could find), so I found another Pat Power track.
"North GA Blues" by Nathan Bell (from Er Gwaetha Ped a Phopeth)
A live recording from a tour in Wales by the singer-songwriter from Middle Tennessee.
"I Don't Love You Back" by Stuffy Shmitt (from Industrial Love)
And we close with a track from the 2012 album by the inimitable Stuffy - the shuffle really loves his music and so do I .

5/15 - Wolfhounds - "Can't See the Light" (single)
I promised more about the David Olney Celebration of Life because I felt like I had to end yesterday's post abruptly due to time constraints, but to be honest, I'm not sure what else there is to say. There was definitely some extra shadows hanging over the night - with the effects of the previous week's tornado and the news of the passing of songwriter Eric Taylor coming just before the event - along with the Corona virus concerns...
The performances were all moving and the speakers were excellent. It struck me that David has a way of really connecting with people - this despite his sometimes aloof nature. (At least that is my take). The first dozen or so times I met David, we were sure what to say to each other. (not an unusal state for me). When he started with WXNA, he would always talk to me about the radio station.
Eventually, I was fortunate enough to have him perform at one of my E2TG Anniversary Residencies and then later he read some sonnets and haiku at a reading event, I helped put together. The David Olney I experienced in those moments were echoed back to me again and in through the speakers. The brilliance mixed with a child-like wonder mixed with a weary cynicism mixed with a genuine love of music, art, and writing and the people who create those things.
I loved hearing R.B. Morris read some of Olney's haiku and then perform one of David's songs a cappella. I loved Brock Zeman's song he wrote for David and the accompanying story. I loved the version of The Women Across the River (I temporarily can't remember the name of the performers and my program is at home). Anne McCue's This Side or the Other was breath-taking. Malcom Holcombe's fiery performance of Deeper Well... and on and on..
It was most of all - the people - people united in our love and admiration for David Olney. Mary Sack talked about the first time she saw David play, and I do think every person in that room could remember the first time they saw David Olney perform (it was a show at The 5 Spot for me), and how everything changed from that point on.
Featured Friday Playlist
Wednesday Morning Shuffle:
We used to call Wednesday "Wild Wednesday" at E2TG. We don't anymore, but that's not say that we don't get wild on Wednesdays (or any day)
"It's a Miracle" by George Felton (from Just as Long as It's Country)
I miss seeing George at The 5 Spot, but I am glad he got me his CD recorded several years back.
"Tell Me Something Someone" by Tommy Jones and the Troubadours (from The Truth Will Out)
"Fight at the End" by Chris J. Connolly (from Moving Maps)
We have been featuring this album for a couple of years, and this is the final track... side note, I finally learned to spell Connolly right...
"I've Been Away Too Long" by FADES (from FADES EP)
A UK band which seems to be no more. I could not find any videos or any internet presence. The only thing I could find was the e-mail submission from 2016. (No video or substitute in the playlist for this one).
"A Day Like This (Etta Bee)" by Nathan Bell (from Er Gwaetha Pawb a Phopeth)
From a live recording made during a tour of Wales.
"Shovelheads" by Shriekback (from Why Anything? Why This?)
"The Moon Was" by Julie Christensen (from Soul Driver)
One of Christensen's pre-Nashville albums. What a voice.
"More" by Lori Kelley (from More)

"Dream Away" by Ryan Dillaha (from Closer to Better)
First listen to an album by Michigan based singer-songwriter who leads the band The Miracle Men.
