Made it to 800! You are currently reading the 800th post since I transferred the blog from Posterous (RIP) to Blogger. Also, assuming a few of you read this or some other post, Ear to the Ground will reach a milestone number of pageviews (aka one with a bunch of 0's).
It seems appropriate that this milestone (of a sort) post, contains a pretty random shuffle of some cools songs - including artists we've never featured, some old favorites, covers, pop culture references, and more. We do this just about every day.
In honor of post 800, I thought I would attempt to start a new hashtag meme - #twt (three word Thursday).

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Anarchy in the Shuffle Mix

Ear to the Ground doesn't follow rules - not even our own rules. Does that make us anarchists?

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - This is the Blues Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Nashville - come out tonight to The Five Spot in East Nashville at 9:00pm for an awesome show. The Harmed Brothers, Charlie and the Foxtrots, and #E2TG favorite Darrin Bradbury who will be backed by the star-studded (and stud-starred) Fran's Eastside Super-High Band!
Apologies to Tim Carroll (who by the way is part of the aforementioned Super-High Band) for appropriating the title of one of his songs for the subtitle of today's shuffle. The song isn't in the shuffle, but it came to my find, when I heard the high concentration of Blues numbers in the first part of this morning's shuffle.
Shuffle Up!

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - Takes Brains Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Back at you with another shuffle after a day off. Made it to four different venues last night to see friends play music. Two downtown, two on the eastside. Heard a couple of great songwriter circles - one with Taylor Alexander of the band Young America and one with Lindsay Ellyn. Hustled to the East Nashville - Logue's Black Raven Speakeasy to catch the last part of Amelia White's set and a moving set from the incomparable Julie Christensen, and then drove a few block down Gallatin Pike to catch the tail end of a set from Darrin Bradbury and the Fran's Eastside Super-High Band (Tim Carroll, Cameron Carrus, and David Strayer). As Lindsay said, the hustle is real...
Today's shuffle is long on great music, but I am short on time... so check it out, google if you need to and enjoy our little video approximation.

"Nikola Tesla perceived the earth to be a conductor of acoustical resonance." - Jack White from Coffee and Cigarettes a film by Jim Jarmusch
Watched two Jarmusch films this weekend plus made some good progress on my novel-in-progress.

All I can say is that life is probable sometimes, and although we don't always choose the things that happen (or maybe in some ways we do), what we do choose is whether or not to be fully present in those moments (to the best of our ability).

So, Americana Music Fest week is over, and Nashville can go back to being this cool city with live music happening every single night all over town.... Even with being an official attendee at AMA, I managed to see some amazing music, saw a bunch of old friends, made some new friends, and discovered some new music which will be showing up on E2TG soon...
More pics and commentary coming up.
Let's shuffle...

Friday Morning Music Shuffle - Addicted to War Mix
Tweet #E2TG
Last night was so much fun... Went to the Rocking Roots Guitar Showcase at The 5 Spot. Four trios lead by incredible guitarists. Nick Kane, Richie Owens with the Farm Bureau, Ted Drozdowski with his Scissormen, and Mark Robinson. Great players with distinct and unique styles falling into the blues/roots area if labels mean much. All of them were mind-blowingly awesome in very different ways.
After that showcase, I stuck around to see a long-time favorite of Ear to the Ground, Pony Boy. She was a Featured Artist in August 2012, and since then she has spent some time in Nashville, had a song featured on the ABC show named after our fair city, and last night she played a bunch of Nashville's hottest players. The qualities which first lead me to her music were all present - an amazing voice, great songs (the originals and covers), and a great stage presence. It was good to finally meet her.

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Gallatin Pike Mule Mix

It is axiomatic that on any given night, if you go hear live music in Nashville - no matter how epically awesome your experience - there is something equally epic and awesome going on either next door or across town. This is even more true - if something axiomatic can be "more" true during Americana Fest week which is going on now. I just added a corollary to this axiom (Can an axiom have a corollary? Can it have a coronary?), which states that if you hang out in the same smoky dive bar in East Nashville long enough you will hear "Freebird" accompanied by a trombone and it will be amazing.
Tonight - E2TG favorite Mark Robinson joins an amazing line-up of Rocking Roots Guitarists at The Five Spot from 5-8pm. At 8:00 - another E2TG favorite - Pony Boy will be leading off a Five Spot Favorites show at that same location. And it goes on...
