Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Changing Everything Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I am ridiculously short on time, and I will be out of town the next two days so no shuffles until Thursday. I am going to be quick, but if you have more time than I do, please give these great songs the attention they deserve. I found videos for most of the songs. The only one I didn't find was the Mothers song, and I will put a link to their bandcamp page so you can listen and/or buy.
UPDATE:7:05pm CST - I actually ran out of time to get this posted earlier. As I said, I will be off of blogging for a couple of days, but I'm sure you can keep yourselves entertained.

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Heck of F-f-friend Mix
Tweet #E2TG
After Tennessee's Icepocalypse kept me in for most the week, I ventured out into the cold last evening to check out a new consignment store called Hang the Moon in East Nashville and to hear some of my favorite people play music. I just caught the tail end of the set by Tim Carroll and Luella Wood but what I heard was (as usual) awesome. The Western Shore were next delivering an awesome set of their unique style of Americana music, and the night wrapped up with the super-duo of Lindsay Ellyn and Taylor Alexander doing a set of some of Lindsay's great songs augmented by some classic country songs. These two voices are amazing together.
Meanwhile, more snow and ice are on tap followed by heavy rain tomorrow... joy! What the hey, we have music to present!

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Call me Admiral Byrd Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Yes, I chiseled my way out through the thick blanket of ice and crossed the frozen tundra to make it to work today. I only fell once, and I don't think anyone saw me, and anyway, I fell with the grace and dignity befitting of someone of my importance and position. (that is a joke by the way....)
I had a lovely collection of fine, fine music to accompany me on my treacherous journey....

Still at home, even more bored, but I did finally join seemingly everyone on my Facebook news feed and finally watched the SNL 40 special.

Lesley Gore passed away yesterday. I can't even begin to count the number of times I've referenced her most famous song.
On to today's shuffle:

No work today due to President's Day. Didn't leave home today due to Nashville Ice Storm 2015. Got bored this evening due to cabin fever, and so I'm doing a rare evening shuffle for you and for me...

Well, here we go. Another short shuffle that covers a ton of ground. For the literary minded among you, we have a song inspired by Upton Sinclair and another inspired by a Tennessee Williams' play. Plus, we have some Piedmont Blues for North Carolina, one of Paul Revere's Raiders doing a Ray Charles song and so much more... let's get to it...

"1000 Deaths" by D'Angelo and the Vanguard
"Your Own Lullaby" by Matt Phillips

"Tugena" by The Dead Milkmen
We begin with the 5+ minute almost instrumental from Big Lizard in My Backyard.

We move on to another track from Telepathic Teddy Bear's latest album, Forgiveness. Forgiveness heals, music heals...
"Carolyn" by Phranc
Phranc expresses her admiration for the muscular female form. from Folksinger
"1000 Deaths" by D'Angelo and the Vanguard
Black Messiah is one of the best records of the year (released at the end of 2014). 1000 Deaths is the second track on the album.
"Your Own Lullaby" by Matt Phillips
I saw Matt Phillips on the stage a Music City Roots a week ago today - where he (coincidently) expressed his admiration for D'Angelo. Phillips was impressive and a great part of a pretty awesome night of music.
"Treasures" by Telepathic Teddy Bear
One good Teddy Bear deserves another. I am seriously loving this album (Forgiveness).
"Dance" by Blackfoot Gypsies
It's never too early in the day to Dance - even when you are riding up the elevator to work (although I did get some strange looks - what do I care?). Seriously, now is the time to become a part of the Blackfoot Gypsies express train. My friend Popa Tunes has been on board for a while now, I know. This is from the album Dandee Cheeseball.

From Black Hours, the debut solo effort by the lead singer of The Walkmen.
"Expressway to Your Heart" by Soul Survivors

I am a fan of absurdity. This song is purely absurd, and I love it.

Good morning, my review of last nights throw down at 3rd and Lindsley with Dave Pahanish and Panfish, Leroy Powell, and George Shingleton is live on No Depression. In other news, sleep is totally overrated.
Short on time and it's not Thursday so I can't do three word Thursday, so let's do this thing!
