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 that has been Big Thief, you’ll hear Jim White, Hop Along, Kathy Heideman, The Tragically Hip + bunch more goodness. So grab your headphones & meet me over at the play button.
The Mix Tape Radio Show is a series of digital mix tapes that I’ve been putting together on Mixcloud for more than a few sporadic years; sometimes there were new episodes every 2nd week, sometimes there was nothing for months. Having a music blog is sketch like that.
But I recently cleaned up my computer’s memory (*slow computers being a major cause of modern procrastination) & have recently got back into a dang-near-every-week mix tape making habit — which is why there’s now an Episode #106 for you to press ‘play’ on…
…because as inconsistent as the mix tape posting schedule could sometimes get over the years, the quality of the music featured on every episode has never been in question. At least not in question by me (and I’m basically just typing out loud to myself here), but check out this episode’s track listing to see for yourself.
Episode 106's Playable Track Listing
As always… if you find your ears enjoying what they’re hearing, there are some pretty decent odds that following HI54LOFI over on Mixcloud for future/more episodes would not be the worst use of one of your internet clicks today. Neither would be hitting the ‘follow’ button on this huge archive playlist of every track that’s ever been featured on an episode of The Mix Tape Radio Show (well, all those available on Spotify).
ALSO: HI54LOFI was accepted in the Mixcloud Select program, which means you can now support the making of these mix tapes & the artists included on them with a monthly subscription — if you’d be interested in something like that (my plan is to start doing one mix tape a week & I’ll probably do some exclusive ‘themed’ mixes for subscribers if/when that happens).
And finally… if you hear something you like in the latest episode (or just in general out on the internets today), make sure to check out the artists further and show them a little bit of love / support / appreciation — because everybody wins if we all start sharing some more metaphorical coffees/beers.
