SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 5, 2019

I originally started these weekly ‘SHUFFLE UP’d EIGHT’ posts as a way to highlight a few tracks (ok, 8 tracks if you want to get specific) from the weekly reshuffling ‘HI54 WEEKLY SHUFFLE’ playlist (which I update every Sunday with a fresh batch of 54 tracks/artists for anyone not already following on Spotify), but then I started thinking:

What if sometimes the “shuffle up’d 8” got pulled from a different HI54 Spotify playlist? Y’know, as a way to highlight a differently themed HI54 Mix CD, because those playlists also get reshuffled regularly and are filled with tracks that can be found on Bandcamp too?

And since the hot summer heat sometimes washes down nicely with a cold beer and some dusty ‘proper’ country tunes, I figured this would be a good week to highlight some of the nice artists you’ll find on the ongoing HI54 ‘When I Said I Like “Country” Music’ Mix CD (♫ Spotify / Soundsgood):

And to check-off my self-imposed ‘Every Monday, You Gotta Prepare 8 Bandcamp Embeds for the Hype Machine Bots, Because Hype Machine Doesn’t Grab Spotify Tracks’ rule for this week, I’ve pulled out eight gems from this week’s shuffle update below — so if/when you hear something you like, make sure to check the artist out further at one of the links provided:


This track was originally shared on HI54 in theMIX CD ‘420 ALL DAY’ and you can also find the music video in the HI54 ‘FM/TV’ rotation.

And I guess that’s about that for the SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT for this week’s shuffle update (and yes, you’re right: “shuffle up’d eight” does sound a lot like “shuffle update”).

Hopefully you’ll find a few new pieces for your personal headphone collection, whether that be from the 8 tracks highlighted above, or from one of the many other excellent tracks/artists featured in the full ‘WHEN I SAID I LIKED "COUNTRY" MUSIC’ playlist — which gets updated regularly if you fancy following along for future shuffles.

And speaking of future shuffles: I’ve started an ongoing Spotify playlist to keep track of every track that ever gets featured as a “shuffle up’d 8” + I compile monthly Playmoss playlists that feature all the Bandcamp tracks that were featured.

So, plenty of HI54-audio-exploring options to fire up in the the headphones this Monday… I guess I will leave you to it (*ps- find even more HI54 headphone options HERE, if for some reason the above is not enough for you this week). Cheers \m/
