It is possible to use your aliases with M-x shell-command, I do it all
the time. Do the following:

  * in you bash config (.bashrc): shopt -s -q expand_aliases
    This makes bash aliases work in non-interactive bashs.

  * In your emacs config (.emacs): (setenv "BASH_ENV" "~/.bashrc")
    This tells emacs that non-interactive bash subprocesses should
    load .bashrc.
