Some days, I want to lose hope, but I don't have that luxury. People are at risk. Not just from COVID-19 (but definitely many, many people are at risk from that - as the U.S. response has continued to be a dismal failure). LGBTQ+ people are at risk of discrimination, violence, and persecution. People of Color - Black and Brown people are at risk for policy brutality and discrimination, and persecution. People with disabilities are at risk for having their right stripped away, the access to education hampers, and increased marginalization. The poor are at risk of having their meager earning cut - while failed CEOs cash-in on their golden parachutes of having housing ripped away. The list goes on and on. It is up to us, who are not on these lists or only marginally (if at all) impacted by these things....
Well, we have reached the end of another work week, and that means it is time to unveil another Featured Friday Playlist. This week's list is 33 songs and exactly 2 hours of music (all new and recently released). I think I have fulfilled my mission to featured diverse and generally independent music. Enjoy and please Follow the Featured Friday Playlist on Spotify. Mostly, if you discover new music that you love by reading E2TG - do whatever you can to support that music. Buy merch, spread the word, attend shows (when it is safe), and follow the bands on their social media sites.
Our review of the Playlist commences below the jump with the first 8 song. We will recap the rest of the list throughout next week in this space.
