I decided to go with a Thursday Playlist after noting the date.<\/p>\n

We are off very early tomorrow for a week in the Dominican Republic with roughly a third of M’s graduating class. Two other local high schools will also have large contingents at our resort, so it’s going to be Indy in the Tropics, I guess. Knock on wood all travel goes well and there’s minimal drama amongst the kids (both ours and the larger group). Actually, I’m more worried about some of the parents. I bet I have more stories about adults than kids after we return.<\/p>\n

The music lined up just right and I have what I think is an amazing group of songs to share this week.<\/p>\n

“My Witch” – Jen Cloher
\nI’ve followed Cloher’s music casually over the years. She once made my year end favorites list<\/a>, but not too many of her other songs have gotten more than a few cursory plays in my music apps. Until her new album I Am The River, The River Is Me<\/em> dropped a couple weeks back. It’s terrific. This is one of the standouts, a not-subtle-at-all track about lust and the need to satisfy those urges. The video is something else. Not sure it is work safe for you non work at home types.<\/p>\n

“Overrater” – Superviolet
\nThis is one of those songs that sounds like something else, but I can’t quite place it. The lead singer comes from the band The Sidekicks, but I can’t recall listening to them much so that’s not it. Let me know if you make the connection.<\/p>\n

“Wonder” – En Attendant Ana
\nI swore this band had been around for a while and that I played some of their music in my early music podcasting days, over 15 years ago. Nope, they’ve only been around since 2018. Looks like I first shared one of their songs on a Friday Playlist in 2020, just before Lockdown began. This song lives up to its name; it truly is a wonder.<\/p>\n

“Black Earth, WI” – Ratboys
\nNot much this band does that I don’t dig. This was the band’s first-ever attempt at recording direct to tape. It turned out pretty well, and makes me want to see them live.<\/p>\n

“Full of the Joys of Spring” – The Sundries
\nThis song was released early last fall, but as I just discovered it in January I think you will understand why I sat on it a couple more months. Happy spring!<\/p>\n
