EPISODE 166 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
--
Note: this MTR transmission is originally from Nov 2020--

In search of a routine more likely to get a new mix together for MTR - FRESH TAPES rotations on the weekly (back when I was doing a stretch of “a new Mixcloud mix EVERY week’ ambitions), I started mixing my mix tape making headphone time with my mix cd playlist shuffle updating headspace near the end of 2019 and I’ll be damned if it didn’t turn out to be one those rare “this seems like a good idea” ideas that actually turned out to be a good idea (as far as getting new mixes out the door every week)… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ … perhaps I need to look into bringing back some kind of version of this back here in 2023 (where I’m currently on a “new Mixcloud mix WHENEVER I have time and am not on a social media hiatus and/or re-thinking websites and etc” stretch)?

MTR - EPISODE 166
{a ‘2020-Flavoured’ episode}Episode 166 was created while shuffling around in the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN < INSERT CURRENT YEAR >’ back in 2020 — which is a Spotify playlist I keep stocked with all the songs from the current year that catch my fancy, with new gems added every week of whatever year we’re in now (so it wouldn’t be the worst idea to follow that playlist on Spotify for future repeat shuffle updates — as this playlist gets pretty big by the end of every year, only to get “wittled” down again to make another ‘20x End Of Year’ mix and do everything all over again the next year).
So press play on the player above or jump over to Mixcloud (or tune into the MOUN.TOWN/RADIO ‘SIDE B’ player for a string of HI54 mix tapes playing one-after-the-other ALL DAY) AND make sure to have a browse thru the listenable/clickable track listing below — odds are pretty good that there’ll be a track/artist or two that your ears are gonna want to spend more time with:
The Shuffle Up’d Eight // EPS 166
Track 1
(00:16) David Karsten Daniels (feat. k8) - Don't Turn Me On
Track 2
(3:08) Mounika. - Tender Love x Ocie Elliott
Track 3
(6:24) It Looks Sad. - Car
Track 4
(9:50) Cape Francis - just because
Track 5
(13:30) Lala Lala - Legs, Run
Track 6
(15:24) Against All Logic - If Loving You Is Wrong
Track 7
(19:20) Swash - Family Computer
Track 8
(1:15) 't Geruis - 002
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 it probably wouldn’t be too bad of an idea to follow/shuffle thru the current version of the ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN < INSERT CURRENT YEAR >’ Mix CD that this episode of MTR was pulled from back in 2020, because something tells me if you liked the 8 songs featured in the latest mix tape, chances are good you’ll like a good chunk of the hundreds of other great releases that get fearute in the full Spotify playlist throughout whatever year your visiting this page in now.
And if you’d ever like to extend the ‘soundtrack-by-HI54-mixtape’ vibes all day, go press a play button over on MOUN.TOWN/RADIO (which’ll play one HI54 Mixcloud mix after another, ALL DAY — with new/old HI54 Mixcloud mixes like the mix tape above added to the front of both the ‘MTR - SIDE A’ and ‘MTR - SIDE B’ players every Wednesday @ some time Mountain Time).
ALSO: HI54LOFI is 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 (while also unlocking offline listening of hundreds of HI54 mix tapes for yourself) — y’know, if you’d be interested in something like that (or nobody would be mad at you if you wanted to make a one-time “thanks for the stuff” donation of your choice to HI54LOFI over here, 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 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 we can also start giving way less to the people out there always trying to keep things shitty?).
Put good things in, good things come out.
Put good things out, good things come in.
Put good things on loop.
