EPISODE 115 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
In search of a routine more likely to get a new HI54 Mix Tape out the door every week, I started combining a few different music blog tasks together and *holy shit* this is like the 8th week in a row that there’s been a new "SHUFFLE UP'D EIGHT" mix tape every Monday!
And as I mentioned in my ‘End Of Year / End Of Decade Confluence’ post, these last couple months of the Twenty-10s is going to see a few more blog tasks combined. Because shit is getting efficient around here.
So, without any further ado-ing, here is…
MTR: EPISODE 115
Episode 115 was created by shuffling around in the massive HI54 Mix CD ‘20X14’ — which is a Spotify playlist bursting with 280 nice tracks from the year 2014 *from 280 different releases* because 20X14 equals 280 (follow on Spotify for future updates/repeat shuffles). Why 2014 in 2019? Well, not sure if you’ve checked the calendar, but the end of the ENTIRE decade is coming up & I’m a handful of years short on retroactively completing my ‘The Twenty 10s’ mix tape collection before the final ball drops.
Listen to this episode on the player above or jump over to Mixcloud— and don’t forget to have a browse thru the listenable/clickable track listing below (and check out further anything that tugs your ear):

If you find yourself enjoying any of the above, there are some pretty decent odds that following HI54LOFI out on the internets would not be the worst use of one of your internet clicks today (tend to share things like the above on the regular-ish)…
…and it probably wouldn’t be too bad of an idea to follow/shuffle thru the rest of the ‘20X14’ Mix CD that this week’s Mix Tape Radio Show episode was pulled from, because something tells me if you liked the 8 songs featured in the latest MTR episode, chances are good you’ll probably like a good chunk of the 272 other tracks from 2014 found in the full Spotify playlist.
And stay tuned for more HI54 ‘End Of Year / End Of Decade’ goodness over these last couple months of 2019 as we take a bit of time to get mildly nostalgic for the not too distant past.
ALSO: HI54LOFI was recently accepted into 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 (or nobody would be mad at you if you’d prefer to make a one-time “thanks for the stuff” donation of your choice over here instead, or if you just told someone else that might like what they’d find over on HI54.BLOG).
And, final finally… if you hear something you like in this latest episode (or just in general out on the internets today), make sure to check out the people making the stuff you like out further and show them a little bit of love / support / appreciation (in whatever ways you can) — because everybody wins if we all start sharing some more metaphorical coffees/beers/cheers with the people making the things that make things a little bit better (and maybe start giving a little less to the people out there trying to keep things shitty). Every little bit counts.
