Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Life if Hard Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Things are heating up here in Nashville. It's above freezing and expected to be near 60 on Saturday.  But enough about the weather.

I have a lot of big plans for Ear to the Ground in 2014, but I am going to need some help.  I have a few bullet point requests/offers/informative bits of information (unnecessarily repetitive and redundant in an intentionally purposeful way).

• I am working on a decorative piece of wall art for personal use.  If you have any spare stickers or other flat promotional art that you'd be willing to send me, hit me up via e-mail (to follow)
• Last month, I made a joking comment about giving an E2TG prize pack to my 1,000th Twitter Follower.* Then, I got to thinking that it might be cool to put together a prize pack for some promotional reason (still undetermined).  If you have any thing you might be willing to donate - again hit me up via e-mail (to follow)
• I think it's well past time for Volume II of Ear to the Ground Presents.  I did a compilation download of some of my favorite bands from the blog way back in the spring of 2012 and released it in conjunction with Record Store Day.  Rather than doing direct solicitation, I thought I would through it open.  If you or your band would like to be featured on Ear to the Ground Presents: Volume II - let me know.  You can either let me know the preferred song and/or shoot me an MP3.  I may do some direct solicitation if responses are not sufficient or if some key players are missing.  If it's finished I may release prior to Record Store Day, but I still plan to promote at the event at Grimey's and will provide links if you want to promote however you want.
• Speaking of Record Store Day at Grimey's.  The store always has a table filled with free promotional items. If anyone wants me to, I can get this stuff to Grimey's to be on the table. Hit me up as we get closer to the date (It's the third Saturday in April by the way).
• Don't forget, it's a good time to start working on your 2014 CXCW videos.  If you don't know about Couch by Couchwest visit their website for details.  It's a fun time.
• Finally, I am working on creatively releasing some of my fiction, and I would love some help promoting it.  Details will follow.

E-Mail about any and all of the above to jpwm14@gmail.com. Use the subject line Ear to the Ground.

Let's get to today's shuffle

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Waiting For My Man Mix

Time, Time, Time, see what's become of me...

Last week, I managed to move the overall current stuff playlist to down below 400. I'm planning to add more tunes tonight, so let's make another dent today.

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Riff Raff Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Well... here I am on a Friday with a lot of ground to cover. So, I am going to riff for a little while... I like riffing. I use to call this kind of writing - Stream of Madness writing... meaning, I just let the words fly, without any inclination to edit in order to mask my insanity....

Let's post a picture and then we will jump into the madness...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Mixed Up Kid Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Very quickly...

Does it make me old that I still sometimes think of Infidels as a recent Bob Dylan album?  On second thought don't answer that.  Anyway, we start today with "Jokerman" by Dylan

"Never Loved You" by Nava Hotel - some awesome ROCK from Nashville

"Run Away West" by Holidaysburg (A Florida Rock n Roll band that existed from 2004 to 2008)

"In the Rain" by The Danbury Lie (One of our favorite albums released this year.  I still don't know the name of the album... is it "?" or the weird name that Amazon has listed?  Maybe they will tell me...)

"Tears Won't Help" by Steve Wynn and the Dragon Bridge Orchestra (Live in Brussels.  A newer recording of a song from Wynn's 1990 solo debut Kerosene Man.  I got to see Steve Wynn live during a tour sponsored by Ben and Jerry's and also featuring Exene and Gregson and Collister. I kind of dig everything Wynn has done - from Dream Syndicate to Danny and Dusty to Baseball Project to his solo work.)

Brand New Amazon Store - Now OPEN!
