It is finally Friday (for some reason short work weeks always feel so long) - but it is Friday, and that means it is time for another Featured Friday Playlist.  We managed to keep the list rather short again this week, but it is chock-full of great music from all over the place.  As always, we don't have any limits on genre or things like that.

Please consider following our Spotify Playlist so you can enjoy the music every week. 

And, as always, I remind you - if you discover artists you enjoy, find meaningful ways to support them according to your means - buy music and merch, attend shows when you are able, share the artists' music with your friends, follow their pages on social media. You get the idea.  I maintain that Spotify CAN be a good resource to discover new music (although the algorithms can be heavy-handed and lack the subtly of organically discovering music on your own) but it is not a great way to support artists. 

Rant over - I do E2TG because music has been and continues to be important. Enjoy

So, this week, we are going to try something different.. because the Featured Friday Playlist is so long and my time is limited this week - we are going to forgo our usual shuffles for this week only and we will have two segments per day of our Featured Friday Recap.  This should allow us to get through the list more easily.  A ton of great music in the Playlist, so it will be good.  Enjoy!

Featured Friday Playlist recap (part 2) (Songs 16-23):

16. "Eye for an Eye" by AP Tobler

First up today, we have latest single from this 15 year old grunge poet from San Jose, California.  Her new EP is due out just after her 16th birthday. 

17. "That Chitty Bang Majik" by The Gorstey Lea Street Choir

Next up, we have our second track to featured from this UK band. I have become a big fan in a short time.  Great stuff. 

18. "Claiborne Avenue" by Doctor Lo

Next up, we have a fantastic New Orleans inspired title track from the new album from the singer-songwriter formerly of the jam band God Street Wine. This is a fantastic song, and I can't wait to dig deeper into the album. 

19. "A Minor Hoolie" by Chirs Connelly (feat. Monica Queen)

The Birthday Poems album is out now (we previously featured an earlier single). The album is based upon the relationship between Scottish poet George Mackay Brown and his muse Stella Cartwright. This is an album worth checking out in its entirety.  

20. "Face On the Rail Line" by The Catenary Wires

Next up, we have a track from the just released new album from the iconic UK indie-pop band. I love this album. 

21. "I Wanna Go" by Wild Earp

Dyin' for Easy Livin' - the new album from this Chicago based country/western band is due out July 9.  This is the latest single. 

22. "Kaikki kotona" by Bad Sauna

We have previously featured tracks from the debut album by this Helsinki based band. Now, we have their brand new summer single. This is a band that has really caught my attention. 

23. "Pennywise" by Harri Larkin

And, we close with the latest single from this UK alternative pop funk trio who will be releasing Beach City in July.  A great way to jump out of the playlist recap for now.
