Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Jack Chick vs. Twin Peaks with a Twist Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I had a great night hanging out with a bunch of friends at a venerated Music Row bar and watching about a dozen or more of those friends make awesome music....
We have a delightful shuffle today with some cool songs and some cool pop culture references. The shuffle contains old and new music of differing genres and points of view all existing in some semblance of harmony on my phone's music player. If these songs can all keep along, why can't we?

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Takes Brains Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Back at you with another shuffle after a day off. Made it to four different venues last night to see friends play music. Two downtown, two on the eastside. Heard a couple of great songwriter circles - one with Taylor Alexander of the band Young America and one with Lindsay Ellyn. Hustled to the East Nashville - Logue's Black Raven Speakeasy to catch the last part of Amelia White's set and a moving set from the incomparable Julie Christensen, and then drove a few block down Gallatin Pike to catch the tail end of a set from Darrin Bradbury and the Fran's Eastside Super-High Band (Tim Carroll, Cameron Carrus, and David Strayer). As Lindsay said, the hustle is real...
Today's shuffle is long on great music, but I am short on time... so check it out, google if you need to and enjoy our little video approximation.

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Handle With Care Mix

Monday. And we have another shuffle that demonstrates many of the best qualities of what makes our daily shuffles so special (and they are special....) - we have a collection of excellent songs - a few mini-almost-themes running through some of the songs, a fairly diverse collection of styles but nothing terribly extreme (by our standards). Let's do it!

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Wild Winnebago Mix

Had a good time at The Western Shore CD Release party thing last night. Charlie and Kalee sounded great, the right-wrong Isaac was awesome, and it is always a great joy to see and hear Aaron Lee Tasjan.
Well, we made it to Friday, and I think I am still breathing, so that has to be a good sign.

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Cobwebs and Twisted Dry Bones Mix

So... for those who love Halloween, you will notice the way I mashed up some song titles from today's shuffle into a Halloweeny sounding "Cobwebs and Twisted Dry Bones" subtitle for this shuffle. For those who dislike Halloween, there are no real Halloween-themed songs in this shuffle.
Boo!

Let's see.... So apparently, Foo Fighters are playing at The Ryman on Halloween.
Last night, I got hang out with some awesome songwriters and talk music and the movie Road House, plus hear some of them do what they do best. I also hopped over to the Mercy Lounge to finally see Dogs of Oz live. They were awesome, and I hope to see a longer set from them soon. Here is a picture.
Let's get to the shuffle -

Full-Ride Friday Music Shuffle - Covered in Dust Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I didn't sleep particularly well last night, and so I knew I would need some cool tunes to make it through the morning commute. With that in mind, I decided to run my usual shuffle for the full ride into work, and thus was born a new feature* at Ear to the Ground called Full-Ride Friday (hashtag #frf - patent pending** - void where prohibited) **there is not patent pending...
* Bloggers Note: I sure hope no one notices that about 90% of the time I announce I new feature, it never appears again. If they notice, they may realize that I'm just making this up as I go around and thus may figure out that I'm not a real music blogger.
Anyway, I hit shuffle and 21 songs later, I made to my desk to begin my day... Go past the jump to experience the first (and maybe last) ever Full-Ride Friday Shuffle!

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Flags for Everything Mix
Tweet #E2TG
August 6 - Nashville... overcast skies, rising humidity, but still an ever so slight chill in the air. Changing lanes, changing gears, but it all still seems the same. Perception in the mind's eye. Do we have the power to change our destiny or are we merely pawns in a cosmic and eternal game, we don't even understand? And what does it matter? Does it matter?
Lost in my thoughts - at times dark, at times trivial. Okay - often trivial. Seeking inspiration. Finding it in the diverse music of people from all over the world. Different voices, different musical choices. For some music is a commodity, for me it is a life blood.
All over the world.... Different voices, different choices....
Music - after the jump...

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - An Unmade Bed Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Let's get right into the music...
Pre-Shuffle... I hit shuffle, and the first track up was "Lanquishing in Lower Chakras" by The Gabriel Construct from Interior City. This track begins with some minimalist piano. The track is eleven minutes long and features some spoken dialogue. It was truly a great way to start the morning.
In an odd sort of way, the second song of the mix, "Colonizer" by Canopy Climbers from Miles, fit well coming on the heels of The Gabriel Construct. I think it was the piano sound. Even though the use of the instrument could hardly be any more different, it still served as an effective bridge between the two songs.
Next up "Cup o' Tea" by Austin band, Little Radar. Their new album is not due out until next month, but they currently have a sampler up on Noisetrade.
Lambchop is a band from Nashville. They are awesome. "Chelsea Hotel" is a classic song by Leonard Cohen. It is awesome. Lambchop covers "Chelsea Hotel" and faces will be melted and brains will explode. Shari Lewis was not involved, but she did have a puppet named Lambchop.
Among the several albums we are anxiously awaiting, one that has us especially excited is the new record from Great American Novel. To help us all wait, the band recently made their last album Kissing available as a Free (Name Your Price) download via bandcamp. "I Want You" hits all the right notes. They also have two tracks from the new album available. Hit them up.
Another day, another Ramones song. This time we have "Outsider" from Subterranean Jungle.
We close the pre-shuffle with some "old school" Cee-Lo Green. "Evening News" is on his second solo album Cee-Lo Green...Is the Soul Machine.
