Rainy morning in Nashville.

Had a fun night last night.  Recorded Saturday's Double Shot show, made it to The Family Wash in time to catch most of Amelia White and Sergio Webb being awesome.  Then headed to The 5 Spot for the first $2 Tuesday of the new year.  Derek Hoke actually opened for a change and was accompanied by Paul Niehaus - wonderful.  Adrian + Meredith always terrific. Vandoliers from Texas - really enjoyed, Erica Blinn - great set, and The Mulligan Brothers (Mobile, AL) closed things out in fne style.  Great people and good times. One of my favorite hangs.

We have a Wild Wednesday shuffle which entails shuffling up every single song in my phone memory and seeing what comes up...

 i can't stand people who bitch and whine

 lets drink a beer from a paper bag while we got time 

bang bang let the music go bang! 

brilliant shining & nasty 

bang make the music go bang! 

let me hear a guitar sound like a train 

bang bang make the music go bang!

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Free Fallin' Mix

Tweet #E2TG

 After a long fall break, it's back to school for the kids which means back to early mornings for me.  Man, by the end of last week I was feeling all kinds of grateful for the amazing things happening with the blog.  I'm looking forward to sharing all of them with you in time.  But, suffice it to say, whatever expectations I had when I started Ear to the Ground have been exceeded many times over.

A great shuffle today:


First up, we have Austin Texas band The Raindoggs with a funky, jazzy instrumental from their One Armed Bandit album.  Black was a great backdrop for the walk up the hill on this cloudy Monday morning.  Also, check out The Raindoggs website and click on the "Friends of Ours" tab and look who's at the top of the page!

 

Here's a video for another song by The Raindoggs

 

 


Next up is a timely number by South Carolina band Loner's Society. The A-side of their latest single on King City Records is called Pinstripes. Apparently, it's about some baseball team for the East Coast baseball club who have apparently done well historically up to and including this season.  

 

Our final song today comes from the 2010 album Come Around Sundown, which was the last we've heard from Kings of Leon (as of today). There were rumblings about a new album being in the works as recently as August of this year.  I can't say that I'm a huge Kings of Leon fan, but Back Down South is one of my favorites.  It makes me think about hanging out in the woods, bonfires, swimming holes and... wait, that's the video...
