I asked a local cocktail lounge (s/o The Hourglass in Kimberley, BC) if they would be interested in playing a 54-track 1970s mix cd (aka: a curated playlist) on a slow Thursday night to see if that’s something that people might come out to have some drinks to (and, worse case scenario, it just ends up being a normal Thursday night soundtracked by a subjectively sweet 1970s playlist that can be shared the next day for whoever wants to listen whenever/wherever, or whatever etc).

They said ‘yep!’ and… last night (Thursday, March 24th, 2022), they pressed play on this new HI54… THE 70s Mix CD and now you can too:

Because… just because you weren’t able to come out and have drinks at a cozy cocktail lounge in a small mountain town while listening to the above playlist whilst wearing 70s-inspired modern wardrobe decisions (dealer’s choice), that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to tap into the same 70s vibes from last night while you’re at home doing the dishes or when you’re driving to the bank to get a loan out to go buy more gasoline (and this ‘listen to human made mix cds wherever/whenever you are’ idea is also the main idea behind the idea behind another mountown music thing I sometimes mess about with called MOUN.TOWN/FM, fyi).

In regards to this 70s playlist, just note that if you press play on the first track and make sure ‘shuffle’ is NOT turned on, you will get a curated ‘mix cd’ listen for the entire 54-track playlist, as that’s how it was put together (but if you’re feeling wild, you can also just hit the ‘shuffle’ button and remix your own version that’ll also sound nice — which makes for good multiple listens).

And word on the street is that we might just f*ck around and do the 1990s next — because sometimes it’s nice to escape out of the current timeline every now & again, even if just via a temporary musical time warp in a cocktail lounge and/or your headphones :)
