The picture above is the full picture from which the E2TG logo/avatar was taken. Some background, the original was created/inspired by a novel I was/am trying to write. It is meant to be the self-portrait of one of the main characters named Kevin. I used colored pencils and did layers using color photocopies to created the finished work. Twelve years ago, I scanned and uploaded the picture to my Facebook account. At some point, I set the cropped version as my profile picture on my personal Facebook account. When I created E2TG - originally on a now defunct site called Posterous, I needed an avatar/profile pic, so I chose the one I had been using on Facebook, and I guess the rest his history. As for the novel, I have been making progress over the years, but it is by far the longest thing I have ever attempted, and it has proven to be a bear to get handle on - in terms of editing.

Today, we feature songs 19-23 from this week's Playlist.
19. "Driving Me Insane" by Tom Tikka & The Missing Hubcaps
First up today, we have a track from the new EP from Finnish singer-songwriter Tom Tikka formerly of the band Carmen Gray and more recently of The Impersonators - who are on a six-month hiatus. The release is a follow-up to his debut solo EP -released earlier this year.
20. "The MiSFIT" by Erin Coburn
Next up, we have the new single from Kentucky-based rock singer-songwriter and guitar phenom Erin Coburn. It is a song for all who never quite seem to fit in.
21. "Savages" by DALMAS Emmanuel
Next up, we have a track from this hip-hop rapper and composer from the south west part of France. The song hits hard.
22. "If I'd Never Let Go" by Joshua
Next up, we have a single from this 15 year old singer from Ireland who has been competing on The Voice Kids UK. It is a pretty sweet pop song.
23. "The Godfather" by Are We Static
We close with a nifty bit of indie music from England from the upcoming LP Accepting the Universe. A nice ending to this segment of music which has been especially diverse, I think.
Tomorrow, we wrap up this week's playlist as we prepare the way for next week's list.
