| Just picture her reading The Symposium. |
Nearly caught up (and with nearly half of 2019 gone), but I’ve cut some weight, feel like I’ve found a plausible rhythm, etc. While this post will make the requisite sacrifices to get the schedule back in time – the entries will be shorter* (see all the way below) - it will have all the components of what I intend as The New Model for this site.
Because this post goes up as a companion piece to the final May 2019 MAME Playlist, it will only speak to a handful of the bands/artists on that playlist (eh, call it a couple handfuls, plus a couple fingers; just 13 songs of the 50 total). The rest came from three playlists posted earlier in the month of May. For the record, I delete playlists as I go (I hate clutter), but each of those three posts linked to every song that appeared on those playlists plus…oh, about 20 more each. And here are links to those posts, and the bands/artists I featured on each of them:
May 2019, Week 1 Playlist: Daisy the Great, Open Mike Eagle, and Rayland Baxter
May 2019, Week 2 Playlist: Doris Troy, Harlem, Pan Amsterdam, The Fratellis
May 2019, Week 3 Playlist: Har Mar Superstar, Hinds, and Music Band
Here, the word “featured” means I included short histories and some anecdotes about each of those bands – all of whom I believe are worth the time. While I have dreams of gussying up this site – updating the bio, making it easier to duck into the archives, maybe even embedding these weekly playlists into the sidebar – I plan on getting to those when the domestic soccer league goes quiet for a few weeks. Wish me luck…
The rest of this post will follow the same format as the earlier ones: I feature three bands down below – The Symposium, Willie J. Healey, and Whyte Horses – and will link to any other song that’s on this playlist that isn’t linked to in the earlier weekly posts. Yes, I need to stop explaining everything at length – maybe next month!(?) – but let’s meet this week’s featured artists. Oh, just to note it, all these artists (and 27 others) lingered on a 2016 playlist until I deleted it last week. Basically, I was somewhat familiar with all three, but, because I liked them as much as I do, I made an excuse to go back to them.
