I took an unexpected day off yesterday to fight off a winter cold - hopefully sucessfully... And busy end of week and weekend ahead.
Guess what! It is time for the 2018 Earie Awards. Looking back, I believe this is year 4 of the semi-prestigious awards. For those new to the E2TG fold, The Earies (tagline: The Earies: they sound kind of odd, but they really aren't) began as a way to recap the great music featured on E2TG over the last year. I don't do Top Ten (or more or less) lists. I'm not opposed to the concept, but I know I would obsess forever about what to include and what to leave off. So, I opted for giving out a bunch of awards.
The award names are arbitrary and sometimes silly, but the sentiment behind them is sincere. E2TG could not exist without the amazing music that comes my way every day. The music I feature ends up being a fraction of that submitted, and those that become "E2TG favorites" are a fragment of that fragment.
This year, I am trying something new- out of necessity. As I have been receiving and featuring more and more music, it became harder for me to keep up with it all. One way, I dealt with that in 2018 is to create Spotify Playlists for each month highlighting some of the music featured that month. See the bottom of this post for links to the Spotify Playlists.
To kick things off, today's special "Earier" shuffle comes from the January 2018 E2TG playlist. Enjoy!
