Twas the Night Thursday Morning Shuffle - Later Like Dig Mix
Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!
Here we go.... Only 5 more shuffles (including this one) in 2016.
First up: A pair of well-deserved "Earies" (there will be one more embedded in the shuffle)
1. The "Outcast" Award goes to Leland Sundries and comes as we received word that they recently signed a publishing deal with Mother West Records. This New York band released their latest album Music For Outcasts this year, and I got to attend their Nashville release show at the Family Wash -where they tore it up.
2. The "Key Chain" award goes to Amelia White. Not only was the "motel key chain" among the best merch of the year, her latest album Home Sweet Hotel was one of the best albums released in 2016. This is one that seems like it has been out for some long that it almost slipped by me, but I do remember attending the CD release show (also at the Family Wash) earlier this year. Amelia White is one of those performers that I never get tired of seeing live. Her fluid backing band, The Blue Souvenirs, are always on point and always feature some of this town's best musicians.
Well, this is our penultimate shuffle before we break for Christmas, so here is a holiday mix - chex cereal optional.

Good King Wenceslas Wednesday Morning Shuffle - Close Your Eyes Mix
Tweet #E2TG

So, as of about 4:44 this morning, the days have officially started getting longer (see I can be glass half full kind of person... now fill my glass!) It is officially Winter here in the Northern Hemisphere. Which in Tennessee somehow means the temperatures are going to rise a bit over the next few days. The way it looks now, I may be laying out by the pool on Christmas Day in Georgia... well not really but it is supposed to be close to 70. Did I mention, E2TG is now a weather blog?
Okay let's move on...
Back in May, this blog turned 5 years old, and we celebrated by throwing a big old party down at The 5 Spot. I am forever grateful to the artists who performed. So, I thought I would give them each an "Earie" which I can calling the "Extravaganza Award".
By the way, although it would have been understandable if these five acts had decided to just call it year - knowing they could never top playing the E2TG Anniversary Spectacular - they nonetheless soldiered on and did other amazing things...
1. The Foresters came all the way from Connecticut just to play the E2TG show. Okay, fine, they were here for a conference but I am very grateful for the fortuitous timing. Later in 2016, they played Athens Pop Fest where they got to meet some of their musical inspirations from the Elephant 6 collective. They also put out some early recordings of Robert Scheider of Apples in Stereo on their own Dord Music Group label. Plus Dord got a cool new logo designed by Will Cullen Hart who designed the Elephant 6 logo.
2. Stone Cupid (trio - Julie Christensen, Sergio Webb, and Chris Tench) - I was so honored to have Julie, Sergio, and Chris play the show. Look for some new Stone Cupid music in the coming year,
3 Patrick Kinsley and a Fistful of Dollars - Kinsley and company rocked the house, and I hoping to hear some more new music from them in 2017.
4. BARK - okay Tim Lee 3 already won an "Earie" but this award goes to Tim and Susan's side project which will become their main music project with TL3 going on hiatus. I was happy that so many of my friends and fans got to hear BARK for the first time, and I know that they all became fans.
5. Adrian + Meredith - What a great way to close out the show. A + M certainly did not rest on the laurels that come with playing an E2TG Anniversary Show... They released More Than a Little earlier this year to widespread acclaim. The album features some of Nashville's finest musicians (which includes Adrian and Meredith themselves),
Speaking of The 5 Spot (way back I was speaking about The 5 Spot)... I took in the final $2 Tuesday of 2016. As it is every time I go it was a blast. (It's probably a blast even when I do not go, but I cannot personally attest to that). Hank Erwin opened up, and his first song was a cover of a Chris Porter song. Porter, you may recall, was killed (along with a band mate) in a tragic auto accident while on tour a few months back... It was my first time hearing Erwin, but I really loved his music.
After that Derek Hoke lead cool band through some classic Christmas tunes with guest singers.
The music for the night ended with Jerry Pentecost leading a song by song tribute to Elvis Costello's second album, This Year's Model, Oh man, that was fun.
I think I will just post Christmas/Holiday/Seasonal songs for the rest of this week...

Okay - I am running short on time - so I will defer the Earies until tomorrow.
I decided for the last part of the year to add a bunch of holiday-themed music to my phone, and since I have not created a Throwback Thursday playlist - I created a Christmas/Holiday playlist which I am shuffling from today...

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - A Mix Among Mixes Mix
Tweet #E2TG
It's mid-week. Nashville is still digging out from our massive 1/2 snowfall yesterday morning (which by the way was mostly melted by noon yesterday) (note for non-Nashville readers: Nashville really freaks out over winter weather). Anyway, it was a frosty morning, and we have a great mix of songs to warm your hearts and minds and... I don't really know what I'm saying at this point, but I'm trying to use words that sound like they belong in the introduction to a blog post. Whew!
It's that time of year... everyone is releasing they best of 2013 lists. Here at #E2TG, we will kick off our Best of 2013 posts Monday morning. Of course, we will be doing it in a manner befitting Ear to the Ground... stay tuned. By the way, for the first time since this blog began, we will not be having a Band of the Year Readers Poll. More on the reasoning behind this later. However, we will be unveiling our 3rd Annual Band of the Year in a special post later this month. Tune in!

Cold wet weather has descended on Nashville (after a near record high yesterday). A good day to stay inside and listen to a long set of music.

Here we go... it seems like I've been adding more songs every week then I have time to feature. So to help clear the backlog and to feature more songs - I'm going to add a Bonus Mix feature. And, just like it's better to eat dessert first, so it is better to present the Bonus Mix first...
It all gets going after the leap (jump):......
