I need to start by saying cancer sucks... I hate it! Rest in Peace to Grant Hart (Husker Du). Along with The Replacements and Minutemen, Husker Du were part of the holy trinity of great American post-punk bands on the 1980s.

Whew... I am somehow still functioning (at least as good as I normally function). So far this week, I've seen somewhere close to 15 hours of live music (with 7-8 more on tap tonight), worked my regular schedule, posted my normal blog posts, recorded a radio show, run into a ton of good friends, strategically managed to drink quite a bit for a fraction of the cost ;-), posted on Instagram for the radio station, danced at 1:00am at The Family Wash, and even got to sleep - just a little.
Last night, I saw the amazing Bonnie Whitmore, K. Phillips (who co-wrote the Erica Blinn song we premiered last week), and the always enchanting Amelia White.
Tonight: As if the case almost every day/night this week, there is a ton of amazing music. I plan to start my evening at The 5 Spot. E2TG Favorite Mark Robinson Band. This is Mark's fifth year running of holding down the Thursday early slot at The 5 Spot. This year, in addition to hi stellar band, he will be joined by Dave Coleman (who I saw playing with Amelia White last night), and one of my favorite local songwriters Kevin Gordon (according to my Facebook memories, two years ago, I was attending the City Winery CD Release show for Gordon for his most recent album).
Speaking of City Winery, their lineup tonight includes, Robyn Hitchcock, Dave Alvin, Tony Joe White and more.
If all goes as planned, my evening will end with North Mississippi All-Stars and Blackfoot Gypsies at The Beast.
Meanwhile, I have Shuffle to present. It somehow is Thursday, and that means today's shuffle comes from the special E2TG Topical playlist... featuring songs from across the six year history of this blog.
Let's shuffle!

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Illustrious Illusions Mix
Tweet #E2TG
'Tis a rainy Friday in Nashville, Tennessee. Fortunately, the rain let up for my daily walk up the hill to higher ground. Even more fortunate, I got to listen to some killer tunes, and as always, I want to share them with you.
Pre-shuffle:
"Please" by The Vespers (awesome Nashville band who will be playing May 25th at the Eastside Hootenanny. Those Darlins will also be on the bill that day because this is Nashville and that's just how we roll)
"Hello It's Me" by Todd Rundgren (The classic song from 1972)
" Singing Sunrise" by JENNY (who have a new album, Love and Politics out now)
"Hail Hail" by Shovels and Rope (the awesome South Carolina band from a Noisetrade tour sampler for their summer jaunt with the equally awesome Dawes - who we will hear from later in the mix)
"Rewind" by Kopecky Family Band (more good stuff from the Nashville band who were recently featured in the NY Times)
SHUFFLE - after the JUMP

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Slow Day, Fast Time Mix
Tweet #E2TG
So maybe 20 songs in one post was a little excessive.... so I'll keep it down to 15 today.
Pre-shuffle:
"Shit That Matters" by JENNY (the band has a new album called Love and Politics out now)
"Sleeping Through Heaven" by Game Theory (for those keeping track this make 8 Game Theory songs in two days)
"Rest Your Weary Mind" by Elizabeth Cook with Bobby Bare Jr. (Two of Nashville's coolest poeple)
"I Still Want a Little More" by Milk Carton Kids (I'm digging on this band lately)
"You Always Make Me Smile" Kyle Andrews (Nashville Singer-songwriter, electronic musician)
"Linus and Lucy" by Game Theory (9 in two days - yes it's the Vince Guaraldi song)
"No Reason" by Jeanette Lynne (A CXCW alum - When Popatunes says "Jump", I say, 'yeah, right!'. When Popatunes says "check out this music" - I say - 'hell, yeah!')
"Sad Baby Wolf" by Sad Baby Wolf (I love this band and this song is one of my favorites)
"New Jerusalem" by Neighbour (Neighbour is Kacie Williams - Nashville again!)

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - April 4 Memphis Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Thinking about MLK and the price of Freedom and Justice and the power of Love and Mercy. For the record, the shot didn't ring out in the early morning of April 4 (despite U2's poetic license, it was the late evening). But I digress.
The awesome music continues to roll in faster than we can distribute it out to you. Stay tuned!
First up, we had a whopping eight songs in our Pre-Shuffle Shuffle this morning. Just to explain, I listen to music on my ride into work and then on my walk from the parking lot. It was taking to long to write a complete post about all of the music, but I wanted to take the opportunity to give some quick shout outs. So I invented the Pre-Shuffle Shuffle which contains fewer details but 100% of the love.
Pre-Shuffle Shuffle includes: Colorado by way of Brooklyn Singer-Songwriter and CXCW Alum David Lott, Birthday boy Luke Anderson and his band The Danbury Lie with another great song from their '?' album out now via Bandcamp. Built4BBQ band and friends of The End Men (obligatory The End Men mention) New Red Scare are a Rock and Roll band from Albany - Unlucky One is from The Appetizer Sampler. More Gershwin. Connecticut prodigies, The Foresters with Mugshot from their self-titled EP. A track from the forth-coming album, Damaged Goods from veteran Canadian band The Mohawk Lodge. A classic track and one of my favorite songs by Nashville by way of Mobile, Alabama singer, songwriter and guitar god, Will Kimbrough going back to his This album. And the Pre-Shuffle closes out with yet another great track from Taco Land's awesome new album Pancakes and Pizza which is out now.
We hit the Shuffle, Shuffle after the Jump

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Auteur Couture Manure Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Time marches on... btw, as is often the case, the subtitle of the post has nothing to do with the music. This time, it is just a random phrase that jumped into my brain.
This morning, we had a pre-shuffle that included the likes of:
Dog Without Warning - a bay area band we discovered at Couch by Couchwest this year. Check out their CXCW set in the Playlist at the bottom of the post.
Son House - the song we heard is included in the playlist below.
Tim Lee 3 who have been featured either pre-shuffle or shuffle every day this week - as they should be! The heartbreakingly beautiful Halo Days is in the Playlist below.
Calicocat - The more we hear from this Nashville band's final album, the more we mourn the demise of the band, but we do wish the members well in their future musical pursuits. The Video included in the playlist below is about the only one we could find on YouTube. (Although we found lots of videos of actual calico cats).
Next, we segued into our Official Shuffle (patent pending) with a song from.... (after the pic and the jump)
