Okay... a lot on my mind... the situation in Houston and surrounding areas is still weighing heavy on my mind. And I need to focus my mind more on the ways people are pulling together rather than the people who are tearing us apart.
Meanwhile, the storm itself is heading in our direction - tornado warnings are popping up to the west of Nashville, and heavy, heavy rain is expected over the next day or so. Nothing like what Houston got, but a lot of rain nonetheless.
I did make it to The 5 Spot last night and caught Lottie, the always awesome Levi Parham, and Flying Buffaloes. You may recall we premiered their single "Hey ;-) is for Horses" a little while back. This was my first chance to see them live, and they were great. Props to AGD for putting on a great show and getting a young crowd to an early show at The 5 Spot (I probably bumped the average age up by a good decade or so :-) )
It is Thursday, and as is our want, we offer up "Topical Thursday" and the topic of choice is E2TG - the first six years. A retrospective look at some of the bands/artists we have written about over the life of this blog...
Shuffle up now!

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Heart Space Mix

There is a buzz of activity in the Ear to the Ground offices, but I wanted to take the time to try to help spread the word about a couple of things:
A pair of great Nashville musicians/songwriters have recently suffered some pretty serious injuries which could keep them out of commission for an extended period. For anyone, this would be bad, but for a professional musician this can be devastating. In both cases, friends and fans are joining forces to help.
Allen Thompson of the Allen Thompson Band suffered a serious injury to his vertebrae. You can help out and find out more by clicking here.
Singer-songwriter Tommy Womack (Daddy, Government Cheese) was seriously injured in an automobile accident late last week. You can help him by clicking here.
In better news, Darrin Bradbury just dropped his latest EP, The Story of Bob. I'll have more on this later, but check it out here.
Finally, I have been busy on the No Depression front with several live reviews, an album review - and much more on the horizon. I don't cross post everything, so if you want to keep up with adventures over there. Here is the link to my Contributions at NoDepression.com.
Now to the shuffle of the day:

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Mother Knows Best Mix

I had the great opportunity to hear some tracks from two of my most anticipated albums of the year, and man oh man are they going to be good... keep your ear to the ground or stay tuned to Ear to the Ground for new albums from Jon Latham and Darrin Bradbury in the future.
In other news, CXCW is rapidly approaching. Get those videos made and submitted...
Now to the shuffle... as I have written on more than one occasion, I love short songs, but long songs make writing the blog easier... we have a bevy of longer songs and thus we have only six in the shuffle today...

Monday Morning Music Shuffle - Changing Everything Mix
Tweet #E2TG
I am ridiculously short on time, and I will be out of town the next two days so no shuffles until Thursday. I am going to be quick, but if you have more time than I do, please give these great songs the attention they deserve. I found videos for most of the songs. The only one I didn't find was the Mothers song, and I will put a link to their bandcamp page so you can listen and/or buy.
UPDATE:7:05pm CST - I actually ran out of time to get this posted earlier. As I said, I will be off of blogging for a couple of days, but I'm sure you can keep yourselves entertained.
