22. "5,000 Candles In the Wind (Bye Bye Li'l Sebastian)" by Mouse Rat

The Debut album by Pawnee, Indiana band Mouse Rat - is called The Awesome Album, and this is the lead track, and I have to say it is pretty darned awesome.

24. "Millennial Nation" by Remain

Next up, we have the title track from the new album by Denton, Texas based rock band Remain.

And, we close out this segment of our playlist with a track from a single from the forthcoming Cheaper Entertainment by 19 year old London-based songwriter, producer, and singer Sammy Hodder who records as VOTEFORSAMMO.  A great song to close out this part of our playlist.

E2TG 2019 Recap - Part 5 - Porchlight Mix (Arcadia Remix)

I am back after an unexpectedly long weekend.  I was under the weather Friday and so I stayed home. 

I did make it out to the 14th Annual Get Behind the Mule: Tom Waits Tribute and Benefit at The 5 Spot on Saturday.  As always, it was an incredible event that raised money to support an organization that has been working to combat the issues of hunger in the Middle  Tennessee for as long as I can remember.  I actually have a 1985 vinyl compilation of local musicians that was done as a benefit for 2nd Harvest. 

This year's tribute featured several of my favorite local artists (like Sally Jaye - backed by Brian Wright and Jon Latham - all two E2TG Artists of the Year, and one member of an E2TG Band of the Year), Laura Rabell, Raygun, Tom Mason, Afton Wolfe, Annie McCue, Ned Hill, Anana Kaye, Kevin Gordon and more!  What a great night!

Back to the recap of 2019.  We still have 114 songs left (after today).  You can get a preview of what is still to come on these recaps by visiting the Spotify Playlist I created.

The list today is a good representation of the diversity of music we have been fortunate enough to feature over the course of 2019.  Some only made one appearance, and some are from albums that we returned to time and again. 

Let' go!

When a video for a song was not available, I substituted another song by the same artist. When I could not find any videos by an artist, I included a related video or did not include a video for that track. This blog may reference unreleased tracks, however, no unreleased music is ever included.

I am back!   I had a great time at Muddy Roots.  I will have a lengthy recap/overall observation about this weird, wild, and wonderful festival that is not 10 years old!

For now, I will just leave it at - it is a great music festival, it is a wonderful social event, and it is a hell of a lot of fun.

Onward,

We are finally ready to announce our second act for Week 5 of the E2TG 8th Anniversary Residency.  It is... MICROWAVE MOUNTAIN!!!!!  You may recall that MM was set to play last year, but unfortunately had to drop out due to some scheduling conflicts.  I am so thrilled to have on-board. Week 5 with The Big Dumb and Microwave Mountain is gong to be a trip!  Don't miss it (or any of our four other weeks).

We also have had some artist shifts to the previously announced schedule - so here is the FINAL LINEUP!

Now, we need to jump back into our first shuffle in over a week! Let's go!

Wild Wednesday is here!  On Monday, we feature Nashville music- past and present.  On Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, we feature new music - mostly music submitted to us for featuring.  Wednesday, all bets are off. These are just cool tunes and sounds that have somehow made there way onto my phone memory card.  There may be some new music, but there will also be... well, show not tell - let's shuffle!
