Heading into the last week of July.  Life can be both wonderful and overwhelming at the same time.  I keep looking for a pause button but whenever circumstances force me to pause, I am uneasy and anxious to get moving again.  So, I try to find peace in the unease and take comfort knowing that anything that doesn't get done will either get done in its own time or didn't need to get done after all. 

Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 2) (songs 11-14):

11. "Levels" by Ifjams 

Chicago-based producer and rapper who I saw perform on Record Store Day at The Groove.  He has a track on the RSD release Kiss Your Ass Goodbye (John Prine tribute) put out by Nashville's Devil's Tower Records. 

12. "Sun" by Emma-Jean Thackray

UK singer-songwriters excellent Yellow album just hit streaming services. One of my favorites on 2021 so far.

13. "Name" by MESSER

Dallas Texas based rock band with this recent cover of the Goo Goo Dolls single. 

14. "Groove" by JAiRUS

And we close this section of music with the title track from the forthcoming new EP from this Maryland native and L.A. based, classically trained singer-songwriter.  A fantastic way to take us out of the recap for today. Listen for "Groove" on Ear to the Ground radio tomorrow morning.
