EPISODE 193 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

EPISODE 193 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

Since Bandcamp is making this Friday, June 18th another special Juneteenth day to show your support for artists/bands/labels while also standing up to support racial justice, equality, and change (ie. Bandcamp is donating 100% of their share of sales this Friday, June 18th, from midnight to midnight Pacific Time, to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund to support their ongoing efforts to promote racial justice through litigation, advocacy, and public education, read more here) I figured I would compile this week’s mix tape from the long-running HI54 series Fandcamp (which is where I share albums with reviews from people who liked an album so much they actually purchased it directly from the artist).

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, June 18th (and don’t forget to make a note that Bandcamp Fridays will be returning on the first Friday of the month, starting up again in August 6th, 2021).

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, June 18th, 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’) + I have also started ‘available on Bandcamp’ lists over on Buy Music Club for all my ongoing Spotify playlists/mix cds.

And if you’d like to extend the ‘soundtrack-by-HI54-mixtape’ vibe all day, just go press the play button over on MTR | FRESH TAPES, which is a place where you can get one HI54 mix tape to play after the other *ALL DAY* with just an internet connection and a click of a button.

ALSO also: HI54LOFI was accepted into the Mixcloud Select program a awhile back, 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 for yourself) — y’know, 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 , or even if you just told someone else that they might like what they’d find over on the ol’ HI54.BLOG… it all helps keep the wheels moving!).

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 while we’re at it we can also start giving way less to the people out there always trying to keep things shitty?
