Since before the beginning of E2TG, the random shuffle has been a thing I do. I like letting the phone or playlist pick the songs (after I have created said playlist). I have also noted over time - that with randomness, one may discern what seem to be patterns. For example, an artist or album coming up multiple times in a week - against the odds. Or running into someone one night, and having their song come up the next morning (I know they think I did that on purpose). Or an artist coming up just before a big show...
If I am honest, though, there are times when I really want a song or album to come up in the shuffle and it just doesn't. It is frustrating but it is rare. If I am going to trust in randomness, I have to do so absolutely - at least in this type of situation.
The next segment of this week's Featured Friday Playlist is next (28-34):
28. "Flow" by Mojave Grey
First up, we have the new single from this California band (based between L.A. and Joshua Tree) led by Zander Bleck and featuring Michael Pozzi (who we have previously featured recording as Pozzi). It is a unique form of desert rock.
29. "Elevator" by Goodge
UK producer combining hip-hop and jazz.
30. "Have a Good Time" by Ender Bender
New single from the L.A. artist currently based in Rome.
31. "Secondhand" by Gasleben & Electric Friends
32. "So We Begin" by Pikefruit
33. "Fast Car" by Chartelli
Second single from the Vancouver based artist.
34. "Bluebird, Hollywood... Domino" by The Gorstey Lea Street Choir
We end this segment with a nifty tune from this UK band who are preparing their next album. Great sound.

E2TG 2019 Recap - Part 3 - Daylight Mix (Island Remix)

Beach Notes (explained - sort of)
One thing I want to do with the revamp of E2TG is to write about my experiences in the (East) Nashville music community, and I want to do so while finding a specific "voice" in telling these stories. Over the last couple of months, I have been teasing the concept of "Beach Notes" on my Facebook page. Basically short - stream of consciousness, observations. Why "Beach Notes"? Well, I have my reasons. Basically, it goes back to Darrin Bradbury's song "Exile on Myrtle Beach" which may not entirely be about the South Carolina community. That's all I will say for now.
Now - let's jump back into our recap of 2019!

Beach Notes 12-3-2019 $2 Tuesday
It promised to be a good one. I mean $2 Tuesday's are all good (or at least I can't remember one that wasn't), but this one - well, I knew (or at least knew of) everyone playing, and I would get to meet Mark Cline Bates whose album King of the Crows was among my favorites of 2019 and hear him perform.
The night got off to an auspicious start - Jon and Adrienne were already there when I got there. I caught up with Jon and our talk turned to the intersection of punk rock and Americana music. As it does. It was good to catch up.
Serious conversations about the challenges of life and aging and ailing parents. A math professor originally from Holland told a joke in Saxon. (Yeah, it was that kind of night). The 5 Spot is always a good place for people watching. You see all kinds of people there. As an observer of human behavior, I like to see how people behave. Go figure.
The music was top-notch - which almost goes without saying. Mark Cline Bates, Stephie James, Clark Paterson, host Derek Hoke, and Jon Byrd and a particularly potent version of Byrd's Auto Parts (David Conrad, Justin Amaral, Leo Grassl, Diego on Trombone, and Nick Beaudoing (of Runner of the Woods) on accordion.) With Tim Hibbs holding down the 1s and the 2s spinning $1 finds from a New York trip. We were all singing along at some points, and I had to tell a younger person what "Back on the Chain Gang" by The Pretenders was.
$2 Tuesday is about the music and the community and the $2 Yazoos, and it is about expecting the unexpected. Once again, I think how cool it is to live where I do and how cool it is that Derek Hoke started and has continued this weekly tradition for so long.
Now - let's jump back into our recap of 2019!

*Note: The video playlist at the bottom of the post attempts to closely approximate the shuffle I listened to on my way to work this morning. When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.
So, I have created a Spotify Playlist that highlights some of the music featured on E2TG in 2019. I tried to pick one song for each artist. The playlist is currently over 10 hours long - which means we got to feature a lot of music this year. I will be finalizing the playlist over the long weekend and will use it for my December shuffles - recounting some of my faves of the year. I think I will also start phasing in some of the new features of E2TG v3.0 which will fully go live in January. For now, I am going to stay with Blogger but I may move to a new platform later.
Any way, let's close out this short week with a long Wild Wednesday shuffle that definitely lives up to the name...

In replacing my phone, I didn't lose any of the songs for my shuffle, but I did lose my "New Music/Features/Trending" playlist- so I had to try to recreate it. Don't quite done, but I think we have a pretty good list. Let's go!

Well Americana Week in Nashville if officially underway. After recording a future episode of Double Shot - I stopped off at Dee's. When I walked in there was a guy on stage playing a sitar. He eventually played a cover of Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" It was cool. Got to hang with cool folks, caught a set from Darrin Bradbury and a full-band set by Ryan Sobb (a preview of what to expect on October 2) and Darrin joined in as they did Darrin's song "Myrtle Beach". A weird, wild, fun start to a week of cool music and cool friends.

Okay! I loaded a bunch of new songs into the playlist last night. I think only one song made it into today's shuffle - but expect some awesome new music coming up. In the meantime, we have some awesome music that we have been featuring. I have to make it quick today - so get ready!
