July 2019 MAME Playlist/Post: A Review, and the Last of Its Kind

This has multiple interpretations, but I have only one...
Hola, and welcome to what I think will be the last post of its kind in over-arching MAME project. Due to the simple fact that the way I was posting ate up too much of my time, I’m going back to writing band/artist-specific posts – and this time with the emphasis on the artist. For the record, those will come out as I get them done, and that’s something that depends quite a bit on the artist and my relationship to them.

That’s another thought for another day, and this post is about the old/former model I’ve been using for these posts/playlists. I actually wrote five (5) of them this month (holy shit, I had time?), and they’re all decent. Moreover, they include links to…I think over 150 songs, and by almost as many artists. (I kid, I kid; the people I really like get up to a half-dozen songs, while some others get two, three or four.) I’ll post the 50-song playlist I created from that collection of songs to Spotify – and, if you like the balance of that selection, and have Spotify, my handle is snackyd.

That’s all I have to say for this post. And, for anyone who’s curious, Wild Flag will be the next band I review. For what it’s worth, I bought that one, but don’t think I ever cared for it that much, so it shouldn’t take too long for that post to go up.

That’s all the editorial content. In the event you haven’t read (or listened to) any of the earlier playlists, links to the playlists/posts are down below, identified to the artists/free festivals I reviewed for each week in July 2019. Here goes:

Yo La Tengo, A Subtly Addicting Band (yes, I’m totally cheating, but they’re fucking amazing!)

Yeah Yeah Yeahs, A Thing for B-Sides

Celebrating PDX Pop Now!

Gaytheism, and PDX Pop Now! 2019

X, Punk Rock for the Heartland

That’s it for this piece of Middle Age Music Express’ history. I hope the next phase goes better. And produces more coherent posts. I’m groping toward a useful future. Join me!
