I decided to hand off the playlist-making responsibilities for a week to Adam Gross, frontman of S.M. Wolf and new MFT board member. See below for a statement from Adam on his playlist, and be sure to share if you dig what you're hearing!
"When Seth asked me to make a playlist for MFT, I was super pumped. I knew that there were probably some good gems from the glory days of the late aughts that I hadn't listened to in a while tucked away in the archive, so I was excited to dig through it with a purpose. Then I got on, went to the bands section and froze. I couldn't think of anything! In came my self critic, and I began doubting myself. "Do I really love local music like I say I do?" Have I really supported my brethren in other local acts like they've supported me? When I like one of Rob Peoni's #listenlocal posts on instagram am I just doing it to LOOK supportive, while in reality I'm a deceptive traitor to my local music community?!" But then, I started making my way through the alphabet, and hot damn, there was so much good stuff in there! My playlist ended up being over 30 songs long, so I had to painfully cut a lot of them, but I think that what is left will be a delight for the ears, mind, and whatever that thing is we call a soul. Bottom line is, there is truly an endless supply of good shit in this archive, and we all should indeed listen to more MFT."
