“Doing: organized games with friends (I like ping pong, tennis). Using: the ‘do not disturb’ feature on your phone while you sleep. Thinking: nice things about your friends and telling them. Eating: kimchi.”
FANDCAMP: Then I Try Some More
“Songwriting at its best. An album of unimaginable intensity written with a surprising, straightforward honesty. Joanna Sternberg is a voice to listen and to cry with.”
MORNINGS ON MOUNTOWN FM | #HI54MIXCDS
There are certain songs that sound especially perfect when paired with a quiet morning, a warm beverage, and having enough time to just sit and do nothing except enjoy that special bit of the day that exists before the actual day rears its demanding head again.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PAUL BERGMANN
“Elevate your legs for at least 10 minutes a day. Helps relieve stress, improve circulation, and boost your mood. I've also had a lot of revelations when doing this so I equate it to a gentle high.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: September 9, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled & this week’s featured shuffle update is from the HI54 Mix CD ‘NOT LOST / NOT FOUND’ (which is a 95 track playlist featuring a bunch of tunes that nicely soundtrack those ‘wandering around whilst lost in your thoughts’ vibes).
FANDCAMP: Bare EP
“A beautifully arresting voice and intricate arrangements.”
SubmitCloud | September 2019
A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD during the month of September 2019.
HI54… THE 90s | HIT OF NOSTALGIA
This playlist is partially made up of the music I spent countless hours listening intently to in the actual 90s and partially made up of a bunch of “new-to-me” 90s music — and then there are a few of those songs that you can only get away with listening to today if you say you're listening to a 90s mix.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ZACH KLEISINGER
“Everyone should dedicate one full day, or perhaps a section of each day, where they do not touch their phones at all and leave them aside on airplane. This could minimize the intensity of the ensuing zombie apocalypse. This could help people slow down in an unnecessarily intense society.”
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT WHEN I GET A SONG APPROVED BY YOU ON SUBMITHUB? | #HI54FAQU
“Submithub is like my ears Firewall, so once a track I like gets past that, it ends up in my regular rotations— because what’s the point of finding stuff you like if all you do is just keep looking for more stuff?”
FANDCAMP: You Made It This Far
“Less rustic than This Time Last Night but equally enchanting! The melodies, her voice and her stories make Esther Rose one of the best singer-songwriters out there.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: September 2, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled & this week’s featured shuffle update is from the ‘420 ALL DAY’ playlist (which just so happens to get a 54 track update at the start of every month).
