And, just like that it is time for another Featured Friday Playlist.  This is a short but sweet one.  So, please check it out and follow if you are so inclinded.

It seems like to a good time to post my regular disclaimer.

I like the Playlist feature of Spotify, and I like having access to so much great music - as I have downsized in my life things like that are handy. 

But, and it's a big but, Spotify is abysmal when it comes to fairly compensating artists. So, yes, please check out the Playlist, AND if you hear an artist/album/song you like - go purchase it or go support the artist in some other way - buy, merch, contribute to a fundraiser for an album, see a show (and tip).

All my life, I have been no good when I am anticipating something. Like, if I have somewhere to go at 8, I can be okay most of the day, but then at some point, I become consumed with getting ready or at least thinking about getting ready, I am tend to avoid doing things that I would more than likely have time to do.   

The same with a trip - when I have a trip coming up, and I have a hard time concentrating on anything else... and it is not like I am over prepared for the trip - I still procrastinate getting packed or whatever.... 

When I was a kid - Christmas, birthdays were the same thing - or if I ordered something - I could never put it out of my mind and then be surprised when it arrived -  no - if the order form said 6-8 weeks, I knew exactly when six weeks was and from week six to week eight I was constantly on the look out.

So yeah, I'm getting ready for a trip....

Featured Friday Playlist recap (Part 3) (Songs 10-13):

10. "Close" by Playyard

Latest single from Santa Barbera bases alt-pop duo. 

11. "Whisper the World Away" by Larry Mindel

New single from the UK folk/jazz singer-songwriter who released his debut album back in December. 

12. "The Music" by The Stars of Disaster

Track from a the new album by this Pittsburgh based band. 

13. "Night Tennis" by Late TV

We close this segment with a groovy track from this London-based four-piece band who combine art-pop and jazz among other influences.  The song is about the back and forth of a complicated date.

You know the drill - I am running short on time and a ton of music to get to today.. or no further ado... 

Featured Friday Playlist recap Part 4 (songs 23-28):

23. "Flute In Da Hood" by Ambulance On Fire

First up, we have the opening track from the debut EP by this Lithuanian alternative electroacoustic folk duo.  A really fascinated release worthy of your attention.  

24. "Hole In My Heart" by The Low Countries

Next up, we have the lead track from a new EP from UK band The Low Countries - some really lovely UK folk pop with a murky back story and a great sound. 

25. "Mr. Wolf" by Hans Deville (feat. Andrew J. Davis)

Next up, we have the second single from the forthcoming Prophecies of the Lost (due out in August) from the lock-down album of the guitarist of the UK band King Prawn. Great stuff. 

26. "Infernal Heads" by CULT OF DOM KELLER

Latest single from the experimental rock group that formed in 2007. With elements of industrial and psych. I dig this.  

27. "I Better Run" by Napoleon (feat. Shane Told)

Next up, we have the new single from Toronto based alt-punk band Napoleon.  This track features Shane Told of Silverstein. Fast and noisy just the way I like it. 

28. "Moebius" by Trio Nilo

And, we close out this section of music with a new single from this Spanish progressive jazz - a wonderful instrumental track and a great way to take us out of the playlist for today.
