Really good article in Bandcamp on Nashville's working musicians - you can hear them all on Flop Eared Mule on the reg!

"There’s nowhere else on Earth where you could treat music like a 9 to 5 and make a living, and you never have to wait a table."

If you would like to make a contribution to relief efforts in North Carolina and also get some great tunes, this 136 song (!!) compilation is incredible - has some big names and all proceeds to local efforts

Flop Eared Mule at 8pm instead of 11 has been cooking along nicely for a few weeks. Just realised that on the back end of the system I'd been putting the playlist into the 11pm slot so it's not showing up on the 8pm on demand page. Technology schmecknology. So you'll just have to listen and be surprised!

🗣️🚨NEWS! From tonight Flop Eared Mule will be on live from 8pm instead of 11pm. If you listen on demand, nothing changes but the live broadcast time will be at 8!

When I realised, a few months ago, that Bastille Day was on a Sunday this year, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to be totally self-indulgent and do an all francophone episode of Flop Eared Mule! Of course we play brand new cajun and zydeco music from Louisiana but also various pockets of francophone Canada, the bit of Europe that speaks French and Haiti. Lots of cool stuff imho to discover here on demand
