Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Passion Fruit and Holy Bread Mix

Tweet #E2TG

If you've been reading Ear to the Ground for any length of time and ever wondered about the subtitles for each shuffle (like Passion Fruit and Holy Bread Mix* today), I thought I would provide a little historical context.

When I started writing Ear to the Ground (May 2011), there was a local blog that posted a news round up post almost every day, and each one was titles something like News Roundup (probably not that but you get the idea) - something edition.  I thought it would be cool as a homage to that site** to add subtitles to my daily shuffle.  I actually used the word "edition" before I changed it to the more music oriented "mix".

These often obscure or even meaningless subtitles are derived from a variety of sources: Current Events, events from my life, overheard phrases, and sometimes they even have something to do with the music contained in that days shuffle.

* As I wrote this, I realized the unintentional humor of Holy Bread Mix (which I suppose could be used in a Holy Bread Machine.

** Homage is just a fancy way of saying blatant ripoff, right?

Anyway, I have had fun this week using part of lyrics of some of the more well known songs in each day's shuffle as the source of the subtitle.


Anyway, no extra charge for all that useful information.  Let's shuffle....

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Break on Through Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Well all sorts of bad things happened yesterday.  Sending love and prayers and thoughts to the people of Oklahoma.  

Also, remembering Ray Manzarek of The Doors who passed away yesterday. A true creative genius who shaped many generations of music.

We got some songs - as we are reminded again that Music Heals....


Today.... Pre-Shuffle-wise.

"More of the Same" by Britain. (feat. Clark Beckham) - this is the first released track from a forthcoming EP. Been digging on this track for a little while. Production by my good friend Hayden Coleman.  Representing the 615 - but this is different.

"Run Like Hell" by Drive He Said

"Sugar" by Paper Route

Wakin On a Pretty Day" by Kurt Vile - this nine plus minute song transitions us into the Shuffle of the day.
