We are experimenting with a new format for the Band of the Month poll. Please rate each band on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being your least favorite and 10 being your most favorite. We will compile all of those results and either have a mish-mash of meaningless data or our final Band of the Month for this year.... UPDATE: I changed the setting that made each a required item. Now just vote for which ever artists you want.
Voting ends at one minute to midnight on Friday November 30, 2012. Any votes received after that time will not count. As always, more important than who wins is that you, loyal Reader takes the opportunity to check out all of our Featured Artists for the Month.

Ear to the Ground Voter Guide - October 2012
Tweet #E2TG
With just over a week to go, you may still be unsure which of our awesome Featured Artists to vote for in the Band of the Month poll. While, we try to stay neutral on this important decision (the whole point of letting readers vote is that we are too codependent to make a decision ourselves), we do have some valuable and not so valuable information to share which may just make your decision easier.
Reasons to vote for...
45 Spider: 1.
2. Cleveland Rocks!
3. This is your band if you dig turbo charged, high-energy, fun rock n' roll.
Bad Cop: 1. They are at the forefront of a renaissance of Nashville Rock n' Roll that is garnering national headlines.
2. To my knowledge, they have no official association with the ABC series Nashville.
3. They are your band if you dig rock music with a fuzzy undertone, and because "Wet Lips" just plain Rules!
Black Jake and the Carnies: 1. Your mom warned you about trusting the carnies, but she never said you shouldn't listen to their music.
2. They are from Ypsilanti, MI and play Crabgrass music. You need more?
3. They are your band if you dig murder ballads played in a old-time string band style at a punk rock, break-neck pace. Prepare to move your feet!
Brennen Leigh: 1. She is a true Texas songbird whose music has a timeless quality.
2. At the Americana fest, she sang a duet with the fabulous John Scott Sherrill.
3. She is your artist if you dig beautiful vocals set to amazing sounding country/bluegrass sounds.
Forest Mountain Hymnal: 1. Rebecca and Jonathan are incredible people who financed their wedding in part by busking on the streets of Nashville.
2. They play brilliant versions of traditional and traditional sounding folk tunes and made a record perfect for Halloween.
3. They are your band if you dig well-grounded, earthy and organic folk music and arent' afraid to take it to the streets.
The Foresters: 1. Writing about them and a few other bands has finally allowed me to learn to spell Kahnettykut - wait, is that not right? Shoot!
2. If they Rock this hard now, wait until they hit those teen angst years...
3. They are your band if you dig melodic, pop-punk music played with energy and heart.
Pigeon Park: 1. They are from British Columbia which is in Canada not in Central America like I thought... :-/
2. Cause Pigeons are Bert from Sesame Street's favorite bird.
3. They are your band if you dig big, bluesy rock music made to fill arenas.
S3X: 1. It's fun hearing the words Salt Lake City and Punkcore in the same sentence.
2. S3X... I mean come on!
3. They are your band if you dig aggressive, fast, loud music with a melodic streak played with verve and passion.
Tim Lee 3: 1. They've been a part of the fantastic Couch by Couchwest Festival.
2. They like barbeque - pulled pork baby!
3. They are your band if you dig wild, bluesy, rootsy southern rock n' roll the way it was meant to be played.
Valued Customer: 1. They are most likely the coolest, weirdest band I've ever heard.
2. Patrick Power sometimes wears a tie and plays Afro-Latin Polka...?????!!!!!!

Featured Friday Music Shuffle - Rose Garden Mix
Tweet #E2TG Follow @joewolfe_maz
Good morning, well we are just a few days into our October Band of the Month voting, and so far, Black Jake and the Carnies have a commanding lead. From prior months voting, however, I can tell you that things can change quickly. So go vote and vote some more:
Today, we shuffle up a playlist of songs by this month's featured artists.
First up are the youthful Rockers from Connecticut, The Foresters. In addition to voting for them for Band of the Month, be sure to help them earn a spot opening for Sum 41. They have video cover of a Sum 41 song entered in a contest through the website TopBlip. Vote HERE.
While Ear to the Ground can't offer opening spots for becoming Band of the Month, we can guarantee the winner a primo spot on the bill of the first annual Ear to the Ground Fest whenever and wherever that happens.. :-) Today, we have the band's rocking tune, Rubber Band.
Next, we have the Brennen Leigh's Just to Hear My Little Bluebird Sing from her 2010 album, The Box.
Here's a video promo for the album
And finally, we close out this music shuffle with a song from current Band of the Month front-runners, Black Jake and the Carnies. Farmer Had Him Rats is just a raucous good time. It's off the Michigan band's 2011 album Sundry Mayhems.

Band of the Month Poll - September - A Voting Guide
Tweet #E2TG
Are you confused about your choices? Not sure who you should support? Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool? Never fear! Here at E2TG, we don't pick the Band of the Month and we don't tell how you should vote - we're waaaay to codependent for that... no but we will lay it out for you in black and white... and sometimes weird font colors if we are in that kind of a mood...but I digress. Without much further ado... here is the September edition of the Ear to the Ground Band of the Month Voter's Guide. Just the facts, a few opinions, a couple of conjectures and at least one out right lie...
Why you should vote for...
...Alex Bennett: If you like nifty folksy blues and/or trains. Also, if you are trying to get over that bad association you have with the name Alex from that weird kid in sixth grade.
...And the Giraffe: Cause when else are you going to be able to say to vote for a band with Giraffe in it's name? Also, if you like your indie sounds, smooth and lovely... also Josh works or has worked at Historic Studio B where Elvis Costello recorded Almost Blue.
...Friday Night Music Club: If you like great songs well played...also if you like Fridays, Nights, Music and/or Clubs...
...The Great American Novel: If you like your indie pop with intelligence and fun... also if you like to read... and if Vonnegut and Morrissey together makes sense to you.
...The Grimm Generation: If you like fresh and timely music... if you can spell Connecticut... if you do or don't like the television series Grimm... If you can spell Generation...
...Grounded: If you're feeling old and need some loud, snotty, non-pretty music played with energy and not a little bit of attitude... if you've ever been grounded... if you can spell Tallahassee.
...Korby Lenker: If you like the name Korby... if you like it even more, when it's connected to an excellent singer-songwriter... If you know good hook when you hear it, and/or if you have an awful slice that it totally screwing up your golf game.
...Man on Earth: If you like your rock capitalized... if you don't mind a big sound... if you live on Earth and/or are or know a Man...
...Sad Baby Wolf: If you like excellent modern, indie rock... if the image of a sad baby wolf gets you right here... if you can spell Albuquerque.
... True Mad North: If you like killer riffs with a spacious sound... if you want to the band to come off of this hiatus if that's what it is... If you don't like the False Happy South.
So there you have it... now --- go vote!

Featured Friday Music Shuffle - Triplight Mix
So and yeah... it is Friday! That means, it is time for Featured Friday. Over the past three weeks, we've highlighted tracks from each of our 10 Featured Artists. So, we reloaded our playlist with 1 track from each band and shuffled them up.
But, before we get to the shuffle - an update/revision- you can vote for Band of the Month now - HERE! I had previously stated that the voting would end around midnight on the 31st. However, I am going to revise that until midnight on the 30th. I may be out of pocket on the 31st, and I have to manually shut down the poll.
Here are the results so far with just under 1 week to go:
1. Loners Society
2. Rooftop Runnders -49
3. The Imperial Rooster -58
4. Cupla -66
5. Cosmonauts -68
6. Pony Boy -70
7-10. SIRS, Traverse the Skies, The Holograms -73
It's really still anyone's contest to win. Remember, you can vote more than once and be sure to check out all of the Featured Artists (here).
Today we had a couple of longer songs, so just two made it into the shuffle:
Our friend, Galen Wade and his newish band, The Holograms from their Crowbar set are up with a track called Tumble Weed.
Next up, we have the L.A. band Pony Boy with their song Saints and Liars.
============================================================================
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' Greatest Hits is $3.99 over at Amazon.

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Daredevil Guy Mix
Good morning! Remember, keep voting in our current Band of the Month Poll. Voting is going strong. In the past twenty-four hours, Loners Society has increased their lead, but as we have seen in the past, it can all change in no time flat.
Be sure to come back here around 5:00pm Central Time (6:00 Eastern) (Tuesday August 21, 2012) - The rest of you are on your own - as we will present an interview with Cosmonauts and a chance to preview their brand new song, Cold Harbor.
First up, we have a New York band who came to our attention via The Dead Exs. The Great American Novel will be playing a show with The Dead Exs and others next Monday at the Mercury Lounge. If you're in that area, be sure to check it out.
The Great American Novel are a fun band, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from them. Today, we have American Weekend (which seems a bit like a taunt since it only Tuesday) from their recent release, Kissing.
(Couldn't find a video for American Weekend, so here is another track from Kissing)
Keeping it in New York area, we have a band called The Dukes of Brooklyn with a track called White Lightnin' which you can check out here. It's some awesome Blues-based stuff which I really dig.
Next, we have a second track from Scissor Sisters Ta-Dah album - I Can't Decide. We recently picked up this CD at our local Goodwill, and it's a great record. Danceable music that doesn't suck. By the way, not that we're keeping track, but Scissor Sisters are a NY-based band as well.
And finally, we leave off from New York and drive south to Charleston, SC for a fantastic singer-songwriter named Joal Rush. Another Lover Song was released in 2010 on his Wares album.

Today's Deal from Amazon MP3s - You can get Rocket Man - Number Ones - featuring 17 hits from Elton John for just $3.99:

Featured Friday Music Shuffle - Penultimate Mix
It's Friday! Time to shuffle up some of our Featured Artists of the Month. And another chance to plug our Band of the Month poll.
Words cannot express how much I loved this morning's shuffle. Wait a minute, I'm a writer, so yes, words can express how much I loved this morning shuffle:
Killing Kuddles is currently leading in our Band of the Month poll. He brings a grungy, punk spirit to a folk troubadours' heart (or maybe it's the other way around). In Vegas, from his Waking Up Older EP, I hear shades of early X, it's a fun little number and damn good song.
Couldn't find a video for Vegas so here's another Killing Kuddles song
Then there is Shayfer James. Weight of the World from his Counterfeit Arcade album was my introduction to this amazing New Jersey artist. With a carnival-like sound and uniquely emotive vocals, Shayfer, like Don Ryan and Elephant Goes West, draws from what must be a verdant garden of Waitsian magic located somewhere in the Garden State. The thing is, it is very easy to pick the fruit, but it takes a master baker to know what to do with it. Shayfer James is a master chef, and I can't wait for the next batch of tasty treats to come out of his kitchen.... Damn, I made myself hungry!
And we close out this shuffle with Jo Wymer who is currently holding down the number two spot in our Band of the Month Poll. This powerful bluesy rock singer/songwriter makes sings classic sounding original songs. I hear that she is coming to Nashville in September, and I for one, can't wait. This Ain't Love (Love and War) is another stand-out track on her fabulous Living With Scars album.
I couldn't find a video for This Ain't Love so here's a live clip of Jo performing a P!nk song from a show she opened for Corey Glover (Living Colour)

Our friend's The End Men have completed their late Spring European tour, and they'd love to tell you all about it. Hit them up on Facebook or on their website. They are also about to head into the studio to record the follow-up to their amazing EP Build it Up. Personally, I cannot wait. If you are anywhere near the NYC area, or if you will be on June the 16th, The End Men will be playing the annual Northside Showcase at the Trash Bar hosted by their friends and ours, The Gypsy West. Here are the details.
Finally, a really cool band that I am just now (and belatedly) getting into, Cupla, are taking a stand against Bullying with a new song and video called My Stand.
Here is a presser about the project:
That is all. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and I will see you tomorrow with my Morning Shuffle.

It’s a social illness that can be cured and the British Columbia rock band, Cupla, is taking a stand to make it stop. The band is going into the studio the first week of June to work with Grammy-winning producer, Eric Tingstad, to cut their single, “My Stand.” To accompany the single, Cupla is creating a video with messages from people around the world to end the pain of senseless social behavior that has reached epic proportion. Cupla is asking people of all ages everywhere to send in still photos holding a written message to be used in a promotional video supporting, “My Stand.” Let your voice be heard and send photos in jpg format to billy@cupla.ca or bobby@cupla.ca by June 30, 2012. “My Stand” is slated for release this summer, along with the supporting video which will be sent to media outlets worldwide. When people take a stand for love we can put an end to senseless behavior that has devastating consequences, and often deadly outcomes. Add your voice, make a statement and help stop bullies once and for all.
That is all. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, and I will see you tomorrow with my Morning Shuffle.
