“You Think Your Tough” by Hunx and His Punx (from the new album Street Punk – a harder edge sound this time out.)
“Gazzete Pitch” by Alvin Band (from Lady Protrait)
“Noble Heart” by PHOX (They are from Wisconsin)
“Open the Door” by Tim Lee 3 (from Devil’s Rope – one of our favorite albums of 2013. Cover of a song by Atlanta band Magnapop. Great song)
“Marry Me” by The Family Crest (San Francisco Chamber Pop band from a recent Noisetrade collection)
SHUFFLE ——
“I Woke Up With This Song in My Head This Morning” by Bright Eyes from Lua single (2004)
A track taken from the first single from the album I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning. Bleek and somber and oh so right.
“The City at Night” by Courrier from Cathedrals of Color (2013)
Anthemic Alternative Rock from Austin, Texas.
“Seasons” by Beijing from Night (2013)
I believe we’ve completed our tour of this album by Connecticut band Beijing. A very cool record – and the band’s name written in lower case letters has three dotted letters in a row.
“Don’t Give Up On Me” by The Dirty Guv’nahs from Somewhere Beneath These Southern Skies (2012)
To me The Dirty Guv’Nahs are what 70s Southern Rock would sound like if it had naturally progressed to today. There is something laid back about this Knoxville band, but it’s also good to see that they can Rock out when they need to. Grab this one at Noisetrade and don’t forget to Tip.
It’s been busy here. An extended drive means more music. So, let’s get to it…
JUMP to MUSIC
Pre-Pre-Shuffle
“Dark Divider (Untitled)” by Stomacher (one of our first “discoveries” from the early days of Ear to the Ground and this is still a favorite.Stomacher come from the Bay area of California. This is moody, atmospheric music but surprisingly uplifting.)
“Straight Shooter” by He’s My Brother She’s My Sister (This is a cover of a Mama’s and Papa’s song)
“Wax Wings” by Beijing (Glad to have another Beijing song show up in our mix. I’m really digging this band and their recent album Night.)
“Roll on Buddy” by théan (South African born, Ottawa based musician – also performs as Veledrones. Roll on Buddy – the title track from the 2012 EP contains some awesome bits of ambient, folk, electronica. This is incredible music)
Pre-Shuffle
After the remainder of the théan track, the Pre-Shuffle continues on…
“Well Whiskey” by Bright Eyes (from the Lua album)
“Let it Live Free” (live at Audiotree) by He’s My Brother She’s My Sister (our second of the day from this band)
“Elysian Fields” by Heath McNease (Another from his Thrift Store Jesus album)
“The Execution of Some Sixty-Odd Drummers” by Centro-Matic (I honestly don’t know why it’s taken me so long to catch up with this great Texas band. Thanks to a tweet by Amanda Shires (Jason Isbell’s lovely bride), I can count myself a Centro-Matic fan.)
“Common Ones” by American Graveyard (Two Texas bands in a row. Digging this song)
“Mensdom” by théan (The other song from the Roll On Buddy EP)
This Austin, Texas band jump starts our Shuffle with a track from their 2012 album Up in Arms. Check out the Noisetrade sampler above which includes a track from the forthcoming Souvenirs album.
“I Won’t Go Hollywood” by Bleu from Redhead (2003)
Another from this older album by Bleu which I picked up earlier this month on half priced Saturday at Goodwill. A great find!
“All of Nothing” by The Black Clouds from Better Days (2012)
More grungy goodness from New Jersey.
“Let Down” by Beijing from Night (2013)
Connecticut rocks! It seems like it’s been a few days since we featured a song from this brilliant album by Beijing. This is the second song from this album today. Enjoy!
“This Land is Your Land” by Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings from Naturally (2005)
We close out the day with this incredible cover of the Woody Guthrie standard made even more awesome by the fabulous Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. This version of the song was featured in the motion picture Up in the Air
First off, sending love to the family and friends of Faye Hunter original bassist with Let’s Active on her recent passing. Several Facebook friends knew and worked with her and are hurting. If you are not familiar with Let’s Active – get caught up.
Mouth by JWM 7/21/2013
Friday – we listened to our usual morning mix, even created a YouTube playlist and then the day got crazy and we never wrote a post. So, I’ve made an executive decision (as this blog is one of the few places I am allowed to make executive decisions. All the songs from Friday are back in the mix (some even showed up today).
Consider this the lost E2TG Playlist
Today’s mix is after the jump
Not a lot of time – so we will jump into the mix.

I sing the blue notes to my blue friends. Now I don’t know that much about you, but I like you because you’re true blue.”
