E2TG 2/23/2021 - A New Adventure - Brooklyn Girls Mix (Dinosaur Remix)

Be sure to "Like" Ear to the Ground on Facebook!

Today was the premiere of Ear to the Ground Radio.  I think this will be a lot of fun.  It is a great way to feature new music from some of our favorite E2TG artists and new (to us) artists.  As with E2TG the blog - expect an eclectic mix of genres from Nashville and the world.  It will air every Tuesday at 6am on WXNA 101.5 (in Nashville) and wxnafm.org. Due to some set up issues - I don't think this morning's show was archived but future shows will be available on the wxna website.

Featured Friday Playlist (Songs 17-21)

17. "White and Black Angel - Radio Edit" by Monsieur Minimal 

We have the radio edit of a song from Easteria - one of our favorites from last year.  Monsieur Minimal has a new album coming in November. 

18. "Make It Shiny (Klammer remix)" by Scenius

A cool remix of a song by the UK/French duo Scenius - which features producer Steve Whitfield and French singer Fab Nau.  The remix is by E2TG favorites Klammer which also features Steve Whitfield. 

19. "Strawberry Daiquiri" by Turquoise

Next up, some instrumental rock from Lincoln, Nebraska. A really cool track. This single is the first taste of a new EP coming this sping/summer.  

20. "Arthur" by Huron John

Next up, we have the first single from Chicago-based indie pop artist Huron John. This was my first listen to his music, and I am digging it. 

21. "Runaway" by Miliano 

We close things out today with the new single from this artist who was born in Harlem, raised in Uruguay, and is now based in Miami. A diverse set of influences come together nicely in this track.

In  the midst of heaviness and loss, it is important, I thing to find things that are life affirming.  It is also a good time to reevaluate how one spends one's time. It is not that every moment has to be "productive", but if one is spending too much time on things that are not necessary, do not bring joy, and do not benefit the world - then maybe, just maybe, it is worth thinking about why one is doing those things...
