Well, I picked the subtitle for this shuffle from the INXS song in the mix, but it sure is appropriate!

Let's just jump right in! It's Wednesday - time to get WILD.

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - An Ordinary Guy Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Another example of life handing you pickles and being able to make burgers or something... any way, since we last spoke life has happened and as a result there was no Morning Shuffle yesterday. Last night, we created a quick and awesome Smart Playlist from the good folks at Apple.  Say what you will, they know how to develop a damn fine Smart Playlist....  unfortunately, I ran out of time to post about the list and now it's time for a new shuffle but I wanted to share the first two songs from that Smart Playlist:

Our good friends, The End Men with Build it Up, the song that started it all for us.  2013 is looking to be the year of The End Men - a new album due in or around February 2013 and more to come.

One of several of my favorite Bowie songs, Suffragette City from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Now to today's shuffle:

Featured Artists - The Ugly Club released an EP in 2011 called Visions of Tall Girl. The song Visions Part I begins today's shuffle.

 
Here's a video for Visions Part II

You can never ever have too much Chuck Berry - so today we have one of his best known songs, Rock and Roll Music. It was originally on his second album, One Dozen Berrys.

Here's Chuck Berry with the formidable Etta James

Chance McCoy is currently a member of Old Crow Medicine Show.  Today we have his solo record with The Appalachian String Band - Dance All Night (with a Bottle in Your Hand) is from the album Debut. Which is yours for an e-mail (and an optional "tip") from the good folks over at Noisetrade.

Dark bluesy Rockers and current Featured Artists, The Chaw close out our set of music today with a ballsy instrumental called In the Valley from their recently released self-titled debut album.

Here is the Kickstarter Video for the album

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Hail, Hail Rock and Roll Mix

Tweet #E2TG

 Greetings from Sunny and chilly Nashville, Tennessee.  We are back with a real honest to goodness music shuffle, and we've loaded up our November playlist with a stellar selection of tunes from the distant past to the up-to-the-minute present.

Star and Micey are a Memphis based alternative/folk/rock/soul - oh hell, they just make damn good music. Today we have a live acoustic version of the song Number 1 which we got from a split Noisetrade sampler the band released with Carolina Story in support of their recently completed Soul Stormin' Tour.

Here is the band's recently released record, I Can't Wait

Here's Star and Micey from SXSW 2012

Coincidentally, our good friends Skeletons in the Piano posted a recommendation on Facebook to listen to Chuck Berry, and lo and behold, look who's up in our Morning Shuffle from hours earlier...  We have School Days by the iconic Chuck Berry. It is the lead track from his debut album from 1957 called After School Session.

The always amazing Elizabeth Cook retells the biblical story of Samson and Delilah with the traditional song, If I Had My Way, I'd Tear This Building Down (which has also been recorded as Samson and Delilah most famously perhaps by The Grateful Dead).  Cook's version of the song appears on her Gospel Plow extended play which was released earlier in 2012.

Current Featured Artist, Diana Lawrence is up next with another song from her To: Aging Children album - the stunningly beautiful Where Am I Growing Up To?

 
Here's Diana with The Dishes

The always amazing Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros close out this morning's shuffle with Give Me a Sign which came to us from the free Community Music Sampler - available via Amazon.

Amazon also has the latest Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros album Here for a mere $5.00

Green Day's Dos is out and $5.00 at Amazon
