Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Unfinished Business 2013 Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Well, it's a brand new year, and I already have some great stuff queued up to get 2014 off to a good beginning.  But, before we dive headlong into the new, there is some unfinished business - namely more 2013 favorites I wanted to offer up.  So today and tomorrow, I will wrap up the end of 2013 Mix and then Monday January 6 -  E2TG will kick off 2014 with a rousing start.

I've decided that the subtitle of this end of the year wrap-up should be: "If you think music sucked in 2013, then you were listening to the wrong music." 

I humbly offer #E2TG has your antidote to the bad music blues....

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - A Few of Favorite Things 2013 Mix - Part Two

Tweet #E2TG

First of all... Tuesday? Really? Just Tuesday?

Second... how about a couple of my favorite Christmas songs...

 

 

 

Third... Rest in Peace to Mr. Ray Price. In seeing some of the news reports, I was most struck at how his voice held up into his late 70s/early 80s. So smooth...  Thanks for the music.

 

 

 

 

Now... to today's music...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Ugly Moon Mix

Greetings.  After an extended Holiday weekend, Ear to the Ground is back with another slam, bang mix of music. During the recess, I've been busy adding songs to our rotating playlist from which the Morning Pre-Shuffle and Shuffle are drawn.

Today, we have a pretty decent mixture of old and new music which covers a variety of musical styles and genres.  Hope you enjoy it.  The Pre-shuffle kicks off right after the JUMP

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Got No Mind to Lose Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Set list from Royal Court of China Reunion Show 6/21/2013

So a longer than usual morning commute in three parts instead of the usual two, and tons of great music.  As usual, the Video Playlist at the end attempts to represent the songs in the mix - actual song when possible, alternate song or video if not possible.  Only one artist/song is not in the Playlist but more on that later.

Pre-Pre-Shuffle:

"The Turning Quiet" by Joshua Worden (Soulful Pop)

 "Two Weeks on the Ocean" by James the Giant  (not represented on playlist 'cause I couldn't find any videos - debut self-titled EP and this song is the first "single" - Album due out next month - a song about his brother who was killed in Afghanistan. This one gave me goosebumps)

"Get Lucky" by Daft Punk feat. Pharell (Yeah!)

"Justice'nt Right" by Wheelchair Sports Camp (Yes! Very yes!)

 "Stuck" by Canopy Climbers (from their latest -  Miles)

"Forget It" by Royal Court of China (they did this one in the show Saturday night. A favorite from the self-titled record)

"The Ballad of Billy Polk" by The End Men (Hell yeah - The End Men back in the shuffle with a favorite from their latest, Play With Your Toys (ah who am I kidding their all favorites)

"Alex Chilton" by The Replacements (if this was all The Replacements had done, it would be enough to immortalize them... "I never go far, without a little Big Star")

"The Walking Dead" by Bella's Bartok (Um... Oh, yeah!)

End of Pre-Pre-Shuffle

Pre-Shuffle

 "Coming On a Black Day" by Stomacher (One of our favorites from the early days of this blog.  This song - hell this whole album and their subsequent release are brilliant.  This may still be my favorite Stomacher song)

"You've Got Yr. Cherry Bomb" Mr. Kind and Picture Atlantic (collab. featuring our friend Brian Bergeron's band Mr. Kind joining forces with San Jose band Picture Atlantic, to take on a Spoon song)

 "Psycho Therapy" by Ramones (First you try Psycho Therapy - from 1983s Subterranean Jungle)

Pre-Shuffle: 

We started with an early morning wake up call from our new friend The Gabriel Construct. Yesterday, we featured the first track on his brand new Interior City album.  Today, we heard "Curing Somatization" the last track on the album.  A blistering, challenging 10 plus minute powerhouse filled with some glorious and amazing noise.  

Next, "I Wanna Live" by the Ramones

"Leave it All Behind" by Nikki Sue and the Bad News

"Don't Wanna Die Anymore" by Ivan and Alyosha

"Are You Hung Up?" by Wheelchair Sports Camp

and "Little Mascara" by The Replacements
