EPISODE 154 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Since Bandcamp is making this Friday, September 4th another special day to show your support for artists/bands/labels during the Covid-19 Pandemic (ie. Bandcamp is waiving their revenue shares on any purchase made on the first Friday of EVERY month until the end of the year, so all money spent that day will go directly to the artists, read more here) I figured I would compile this week’s mix tape from my personal Bandcamp Collection.
So if you hear anything you like on this latest Mix Tape Radio episode, make sure to make a note to go support the artist directly on Bandcamp this Friday, September 4th, 2020 (or, really, any day is a good day to support artists on Bandcamp).

MTR - EPISODE 154
{an ‘Available-on-Bandcamp-Flavoured’ episode}Press play on the player above or jump over to Mixcloud to listen— and make sure to have a browse thru the listenable/clickable track listing of below (as odds are good that there’ll be a track/artist or two that your ears are gonna want to spend more time with):

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 (I tend to share things like the above on the regular-ish… so maybe we operate on similar wavelengths?)…
…and if the 8 Available-on-Bandcamp tracks included in this week’s mix tape are not enough to fill your shopping cart wishlist on Bandcamp this Friday, September 4th, well there’s a whole bunch more Bandcamp gems to be unearthed in my personal Bandcamp Collection + over in the ongoing HI54 blog series FANDCAMP (aka ‘short album reviews from people who still buy music’).
And if you’d like to extend the ‘soundtrack-by-HI54-mixtape’ vibes all day, I hi54lofi-ly recommend you go press the play button over on MOUN.TOWN/AM (which will play one HI54 mix tape after another, all day).
ALSO also: HI54LOFI was accepted into the Mixcloud Select program a little while ago, 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 to HI54LOFI over here instead, or even if you just told someone else that they might like what they’d find over on the ol’ HI54.BLOG… that stuff helps too!).
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 (especially purchases made on Bandcamp on the first Friday of EVERY month for the rest of this mostly dumpster fire year).
