It\u2019s the first really big new music Friday of 2017! Which means bonus musical content for you!<\/p>\n
Strand of Oaks and Son Volt have new albums out today. Middle Kids released their long-awaited debut EP. And the crown jewel of the day is Ryan Adams\u2019 Prisoner<\/em>, which is already making me happy\/sad. Oh, and there\u2019s a bonus cherry on top: Prince\u2019s music hit all the streaming services again last weekend, which is also worthy of celebration.<\/p>\n So, first, your normal Friday Playlist. More to come in a bit.<\/p>\n https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/user\/224aiwksicafjldlua6nnpo4y\/playlist\/24e7SfBhWrPevWo3OetFvf<\/p>\n \u201cRan\u201d – Future Islands. Another band – like Ryan Adams – who was a big part of the epic 2014 year in music. This doesn\u2019t reach the peak that \u201cSeasons (Waiting On You)\u201d reached, but it\u2019s proof they\u2019re not a one-hit wonder. https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ka_b_LybWaA<\/p>\n \u201cEdge of Town\u201d – Middle Kids. I suppose I\u2019m officially on this band\u2019s early bandwagon. With good reason, though. Man do I love their early batch of songs, and I\u2019m thrilled they\u2019re starting to get some serious attention in the states. They just picked up a gig opening for Ryan Adams in their native Australia later this spring. I would be lying if I said I was not crushing more than just a little on lead singer Hannah Joy. Phantogram\u2019s Sarah Barthel will no doubt be disappointed that I\u2019m moving on from her.<\/p>\n Oh, there will be a bonus video up in a bit, too.

Never been a massive fan of this group – I do like a few of their songs – but this song is right down the middle of things I like these days. \u201cThe Animator\u201d\/\u201cCome To The City\u201d – The War on Drugs. I was listening to their 2011 album Slave Ambient yesterday while cleaning the kitchen and had to absolutely blast this section. Really hope we get some new music from them before the year is over. \u201c17 Days\u201d – Prince. One of my favorite B-sides, this was originally written for Vanity 6, but he reclaimed it when Vanity went off on her own. It was the B-side for \u201cWhen Doves Cry,\u201d and is just another reminder of how locked in he was between 1982-88. https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ka_b_LybWaA \u201cEdge of Town\u201d – Middle Kids.
