This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
"It’s easy to get swept up in “shoulds” and “to-do’s.” I, for one, am incredibly influenced by what other people think. Just doing what you want to do or figuring out what you want to do can be strangely difficult. But that’s what I recommend: figuring out what you want and then doing it."
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for September 2018.
Since the year in question is 2015, and since 20X15 = 300, this yearly summary playlist consists of 300 nice tunes released in the year 2015. From 300 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
Time flies, especially when you're listening to a playlist that keeps mentioning the days of the week. Which means, by the time you've shuffled through this 54 track mix, it'll feel like a whole month has flown by. So be careful with this one, it might age you.
“Beautifully composed and executed record. Emmett Kelly's voice is rich and true.”
"Since quitting our full-time jobs and getting part-time jobs, my other half and I have had much more time (and energy, oh man) to just “go for walks in nature” and it’s super nice. We are completely broke and careening towards bankruptcy, but NATURE DON’T CARE. So I guess my recommendation is quit your job."
Episode 36 starts off with some good ol' Townes Van Zandt (which then leads into an artist sampling good ol' Townes Van Zandt) and before the tape ends with a song that perfectly captures how I would like my own funeral to go, you'll hear Small Wonder, Junior Kimbrough, Shout Out Louds and a whole bunch more.
"Call me a 'Dick Head,' but I'm knee-deep in my first reading of Moby-Dick and I'm enthralled. The book had been sitting on my night stand for some time and I'd been intimidated to delve in but once I started -- and realized how weird, funny, descriptive and readable it is -- I'm having a hard time putting it down."
“Sample this to hear a singer-songwriter at the peak of her craft. Tasteful and restrained, yet the listener is treated to occasional hints of a perfectly controlled vocal machine that runs on pure nitrous; they will leave you yearning for more yet simultaneously satisfied.”
"Honestly, I can only think about how great it would be if Twitter just suddenly vanished. Twitter is the website that will bring me to ruin. Please follow me."
“Strangely hypnotic. Surprisingly well produced, considering it's age.”
