I am not sure what to write in this space today except - if you are eligible, please register and vote in every election. Real change starts local and works its way up. There is information on-line about all the candidates and ballot initiatives. Do you were research before you vote and be informed.
The November elections will likely be the most important elections of my lifetime. I, personally, have a lot of anxiety, and I really want the vote to be massively conclusive in the right direction - I don't think my heart or mind or soul can take drama around the results. Talk to your friends about voting. Make a plan - look into absentee or mail-in voting in your area, if those are not possible where you are, look into early voting when crowds might be thinner. If none of that works, mask up and be safe, but don't not vote.
Our penultimate day to recap this week's playlist. By the way, thanks for everyone who has followed the E2TG Featured Friday Playlist and for all the positive feedback. This has been an experiment, and I am liking how the playlists have been coming together so far. Now, songs 23-28.
23. "Sunrise" by Eduardo
Next up, we have the recent single by the Peruvian-born singer-songwriter now based in the US. The single was released two years after the release of his previous EP Rusty Strings. He spent most of the last two years traveling the country and playing music.24. "The Secret Forest Lament" by Kate MacLeod
Next up in the playlist, we have lovely song by a true folk artist with an impressive backgroup as a musician and a songwriter. MacLeod celebrating her 50th year playling violin in 2018. Truly happy to have her music in my playlist, and I hope to hear more and more soon.25. "Outside in the Morning Snow" by Bearcraft
Another lovely song - and other that references the outdoors - but from a very different musical perspective. Bearcraft is based in Bristol, England. It is released ahead of a new album called Fabrefactions. Bearcraft is the project of musician and producer Dicky Moore. The album was written shortly after Moore was diagnosed with acute hearing loss.26. "Dream" by Joseph Doran
Next up, we have a recent single by this singer-songwriter from North West London. Doran uses technology to recreate a full-band sound all on his own. Very nice.27. "Siegfried 1969" by The City Gates
Next up, we have the latest single from Montreal based postpunk/shoegaze band The City Gates which is a collaboration with Francis Nothingwater (La Mechanique) and Alexander Donat (Vlimmer). Really like the sound of this song which is from the forthcoming collaboration album with the above named musicians.28. " Black Dawn" by Union Kain
We close out this segment of the playlist with some hard rock/metal from South Florida. This is the title track from the new EP by the band. A great addition to the playlist.Tomorrow, we wrap up our recap with songs 29-34.
