Featured Friday Songs 18-24:

18. "Rewind" by Wilderwater; Kyshona Armstrong

Recent single. Wilderwater is Aaron Shafer-Haiss's solo project and for this single he is joined by the always amazing Kyshona Armstrong. This is fabulous. 

19. "Pandemonio" by Moonshine Booze

Italian band Moonshine Booze are incredible hard to pin down.  We first featured them a few years back with their Desert Rose album.  They are back with a new album and we have the title track. 

20. "Little Tiger" by Adam Klein

Athens, GA singer-songwriter Adam Klein is up with the title track of his new EP. 

21. "Forever" by Teen Creeps

Belgian indie rock band Teen Creeps are next with the title track of their second album. 

22. "Sail On Sailor" by A.J. Croce

We have been featuring early singles, but now Nashville singer-songwriter A.J. Croce has release his covers album By Request. This is a cover of a 1973 Beach Boys song.  

23. "St. Maria" by Timid, the Brave

Next, a truly beautiful song from Canadian singer-songwriter Tim Selles who records under the name Timid, the Brave. The song was written a couple of years ago on one of warmest November days on record. It was so warm that rose bushes started blooming again. 

24. "The Long Con" by Shayfer James 

Shayfer James was a "Featured Artist" on E2TG back in June 2012. This, his latest single, is an wonderful song and a great reminder as to why I fell in love with is music to begin with.

MAY 18th!  E2TG 5 Year Anniversary Extravaganza!  The 5 Spot! 9pm sharp!

"Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future." - Criswell - Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Here at E2TG, we care about the future, but we also care about the past.  The present was the future in the past, and the past was once the present... remember that...

Anyway, we devote on day a week to exploring the past.  We call it Throwback Thursday because we are sheep who blindly follow standard internet conventions.

Today's #tbt shuffle awaits, but first...

A massively fun evening at The 5 Spot.  Hanging with some good friends and rubbing elbows with some musical heavyweights... some of whom happen to be friends, too.  Lowell Levinger was amazing... including a David Olney (who was in attendance) song in his set.

Tim Lee 3 killed as always - a good preview to BARK's appearance next week.

RB Morris - backed by an impressive band of Knoxville and Nashville musicians (including Tim Lee on guitar for a few songs).

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - The Aurora is Risin' Behind Us Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Well, this morning we are sending out love to all our friends along the Eastern Seaboard - as Hurricane Sandy moves ashore and is going to probably come head-on into a massive Canadian cold front.  Be safe everyone.

Reminder: We are moving into the last few days of voting for Band of the Month: Vote HERE or view our VOTING GUIDE and vote HERE!


Shuffle time:


In their all too brief existence, San Pedro, California band, Minutemen, developed an amazing sound that combined elements of folk, jazz and punk in a way that has not been duplicated before or since.  With Mike Watt on thunderbroom + speiling and sometimes singing, George Hurley on drums and the late, great D. Boon on guitar and lead vocals, the Minutemen wrote short, sharply focused songs of political outrage and profound and profane wisdom.  

The Minutemen were and are one of my all-time favorite bands, their album Double Nickels on the Dime remains one of my all-time favorite albums and Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing has a permanent home on my list of favorite songs.

Me, naked with textbook poems spout fountain against the Nazis,
With weird kinds of sex symbols in speeches that are big dance thumps.
If we heard mortar shells, we'd cuss more in our songs and cut down the guitar solos.

 

Fishbone - Party at Ground Zero from their 1985 classic debut EP. Yeah!

Party at ground zero
A "B" movie starring you
And the world will turn to flowing
Pink vapor stew

The very first single by The Jimi Hendrix Experience from the album Are You Experienced? was Hey Joe. The song was written in the early 60s probably by Billy Roberts who owns the copyright, and Hendrix made it is own with his landmark rendition.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
