When you find yourself smiling at the improbability of your circumstance, you know that despite everything that may be wrong in the world and in your world, that at least for that moment everything is okay. For me, those moments seem often to be connected to music....

Ear to the Ground _ 2+

- Work-in-Progress
Somehow, I missed that this past Wednesday marked the two year anniversary of Ear to the Ground.
I just want to give a huge shout out and thanks to ALL the awesome people I've met as a result of writing this. Blogging can at times feel like shouting into a void, but what has kept me going besides all of the great music I've "discovered and uncovered" are the new friends I've met along the way.
As I've often said, I'm all about looking ahead while carrying forward the legacy of the past. Okay, I don't know that I've ever said that, but I'm saying it now.
So... no big to-do. How about some music...

informative post will follow, but I want to see how this works.

Here is more information about the Bands of the Week for 2011:
Week 1: Maxim Ludwig & the Santa Fe Seven - California based Rock band - Appeared at this year's Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in San Francisco and has earned a spot at this years SXSW Festival in Austin. Check out the video of a song we like, Stacy C'mon:
Week 2: Stomacher - is a San Francisco based Rock band. They play atmospheric, sometimes dark yet melodic music. They recently had a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund their next album which is currently in production. Check out the video for Untitled/Dark Divider from their Sentimental Education album:
Week 3: Redding Brothers - is a Nashville based indie band. Unlike the Doobie Brothers or Cary Brothers, The Redding Brothers are actually brothers named Redding. The band once wrote, recorded and released a song a week for one whole year. Check out a live video of their song Solid :
Week 4: World Service Project - is a London based - Jazz/Experimental/Punk Band. Here is a recent video of their performace at the London Jazz Festival:
Week 5: You and Me - are Val and James from Montreal Canada. They have been making music for 10 years. They play Folksy, Pop, Bluesy, Rock music. Here is a widget with their self-titled album:
Week 6: The Alternates -are a Los Angeles based indie rock band. They are an exciting band that I expect to hear much more from. Front man, Spencer Livingston recently released a song called Occupy Wall Street. Here's a track we like called The Modern Way.
Week 7: Ubiquity Machine - hail from Arlington, Virginia. Back when I named them band of the week, I didn't know anything about them except that I really liked some of the music I was hearing. They list their genre on Facebook as: AltIndiePopRockSkronkDeathPolkaDancercize which I love. Here is their sublimely lovely international smash hit, A Beautiful Girl:
01 A Beautiful Girl by Ubiquity Machine
Week 8: Inner City Elegance - are Canadian with a connection to Brazil. They are a honest to f**k ROCK band. Don't believe me? Check out their latest video - just released November 13. It's called Swearing Like a Sailor:
MORE TO COME.
