HI54… THE 70s | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
Sometimes, the easiest way to go back in history is to just put a time capsule of musical vibes into the headphones, close your eyes and drift away. You might even say that this is the only way to travel back in time. I don't know much about time travel, if I'm being honest.
This playlist features a handpicked range of 70s jams that’ll literally make your pant cuffs widen the more you listen to it (not that kind of “literally”), and the selection is tweaked on the regular, with new additions added near the top & older tracks removed from the bottom to keep the total count at a nice, even 95. Which means you can also find this playlist in the daily programming options for the ‘pretend, for real’ mountain town DIY radio station MOUN.TOWN/FM that HI54.BLOG collaborates on with mountain town internet cousin 95EH.CA (all 3 signals get broadcast from the same HWY 95a mountown tower… hence the 95 total tracks, eh).

And if your ears are liking what they’re hearing in the above digital mix cd, it would probably be a good idea to like/follow/listen over on Spotify so you can get future updates auto-magically appearing on your listening device whenever I do some “shuffle updates”. And, as always, when you hear something you like, do the universe some good and support/check those artists out further (every little bit helps).

I don’t keep an ongoing Buy Music Club list going for all the tracks that are available on Bandcamp like I do with a lot of my other Spotify playlists (believe it or not… a lot of albums/artists from the 1970s are not available on Bandcamp), but don’t forget to remember that you can always pop a Spotify playlist link into Hype Machine’s handy Merch Table if you ever come across a Spotify playlist that has a bunch of tracks/artists you’d be interested in supporting directly (ie. the Merch Table will try & automagically find which Spotify tracks in a playlist are available on Bandcamp for you). Sometimes you’d be surprised which tracks/albums are actually available on the better-for-artists music site that is Bandcamp.
Also, there are other ways to show support for the music/artists you love than buying on Bandcamp, no matter what era the magic was recorded in, so, sometimes it’s best not to overthink EVERYTHING and just enjoy really listening to some of the amazing music that artists keep making despite everything that works against it.
And then let’s work on fixing the things that work against it \m/
