“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.”
All in EVENS
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.”
FANDCAMP: Bare EP
“A beautifully arresting voice and intricate arrangements.”
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.
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?”
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).
How Often Do You ___ Somebody Else's Stuff?
“You'll probably find that you're ignoring other people's stuff just as hard as it feels like they are ignoring your stuff. And that's pretty hard.”
NOT LOST / NOT FOUND | #HI54MIXCDS
Some music sounds better suited for those times when you're walking around lost in your thoughts, looking for some peace of mind. Maybe it's dusk, maybe it's dawn, maybe it doesn't matter.
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 26, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — & this week’s featured listen is the HI54 Mix CD ‘MOUNTOWN LIFE’, which is 95 track playlist I keep shuffled with tunes that pair nicely with some mountain town living.
THE HI54 WEEKLY SHUFFLE | #HI54MIXCDS
Every week I shuffle up all the songs I’ve liked over the years—well, all the songs I was smrt enough to keep track of/remember—and I put together a fresh mix of 54 tunes. Every week. It’s the kind of playlist you can listen from start-to-finish and come back and listen again on shuffle a few more times before a fresh batch of 54 tunes/artists comes to headphone hang out for a week.
EPISODE 106 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 106 starts off on the Dark End Of The Street, and before things close out with another reminder of how amazing Buck & Adrianne were before the amazingness of Big Thief, you’ll hear Jim White, Hop Along, Kathy Heideman and bunch more goodness.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BROKEN SHOULDER
“I am effectively giving this recommendation to myself. Get obsessed with to-do lists, but don’t get too obsessed. They really help me get stuff done instead of just sitting around doing nothing, but they do tend to take over my life a little and possibly contribute to an underlying feeling of anxiety.”
