This collection by The Music Bed (a music licensing group), featuring the work of ETTG favorites Green River Ordinance, Katie Herzig, and Matthew Mayfield, is sure to put a smile on the face of even the Grinches among us. Please, share this excellent …

Sara Bareilles is really famous. She was in a commercial to introduce iTunes to the world, so there’s that. Her music fits with our style and she has a remarkable voice. She recently released a 5 song EP, which in itself isn’t that …
