Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Cold Start Mix

Tweet #E2TG

Well here we are.  It's a new year. 2014 is shaping up to be a good one with new music promised from The Foresters, Humming House, The Lucky Jukebox Brigade, and Taco Land just to name a few off the top of my head.

I haven't finished adding new music to our playlist, but we have some sweet music - new and old already queued up so let's jump to it.

Wednesday Morning Music Shuffle - A Mix Among Mixes Mix

Tweet #E2TG

It's mid-week.  Nashville is still digging out from our massive 1/2 snowfall yesterday morning (which by the way was mostly melted by noon yesterday)  (note for non-Nashville readers: Nashville really freaks out over winter weather).  Anyway, it was a frosty morning, and we have a great mix of songs to warm your hearts and minds and... I don't really know what I'm saying at this point, but I'm trying to use words that sound like they belong in the introduction to a blog post. Whew!

It's that time of year... everyone is releasing they best of 2013 lists.  Here at #E2TG, we will kick off our Best of 2013 posts Monday morning.  Of course, we will be doing it in a manner befitting Ear to the Ground... stay tuned.   By the way, for the first time since this blog began, we will not be having a Band of the Year Readers Poll.  More on the reasoning behind this later.  However, we will be unveiling our 3rd Annual Band of the Year in a special post later this month.  Tune in!

To today's music...

Thursday Morning Music Shuffle - Maybe Partying Will Help Mix

Cold wet weather has descended on Nashville (after a near record high yesterday).  A good day to stay inside and listen to a long set of music.

Jump to it....

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Keep on Wailin' Mix

Here we go... it seems like I've been adding more songs every week then I have time to feature. So to help clear the backlog and to feature more songs - I'm going to add a Bonus Mix feature.  And, just like it's better to eat dessert first, so it is better to present the Bonus Mix first...

It all gets going after the leap (jump):......

Tuesday Morning Music Shuffle - Fingernails and Cigarettes Mix

Tweet #E2TG

We're back.  Sorry for the lack of Shuffle action yesterday - it could not be helped...


Yesterday, the music world lost two greats... Chrissy Amphlett of Divinyls and the legendary Richie Havens.

 

Last week, we learned of the passing of Scott Miller (Game Theory and The Loud Family).  If you are not familiar with the music of these two great, but underknown bands, now would be a great time to rectify that situation.

The family has released all of the Game Theory albums for free download at The Loud Family Website.   We have added the entire Game Theory collection into our current batch of songs from which we shuffle.  We will keep the songs up for the rest of the month in tribute to Scott Miller, and then will likely keep some of them up just because they are awesome.  We'll be getting some Loud Family added to the mix soon, too.

Let's get right to the Pre-Shuffle which includes two Game Theory songs:

"Ray Wilkins, 1996" by The Lucky Jukebox Brigade

"Little Ivory" by Game Theory

"Finest Worksong" by R.E.M.

"Together Now, Very Minor" by Game Theory

"Eleanor Rigby" by Skeletons in the Piano (covering some lads from Liverpool)

Shuffle - after we JUMP!
