In an attempt to free up some headspace for other work during these last couple weeks of October, I’ll be taking a break from creating new Mixcloud mixes EVERY Thursday and instead will be sharing some old mixes that were posted to Mixcloud before HI54.BLOG even existed. This one goes back to March 2012 :)
Here's the 15th instalment of the bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 95-tracks that have been rated as 'Mix Tape Radio approved' and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
A local power outage fried my ‘09 iMac, which means we’re going back in time to repost some “lost” episodes of the Mix Tape Radio Show until my ol’ Mac gets back from computer hospital. Luckily, these old episodes — like EPISODE 022 from September 2013— are still really nice to listen to.
“The self titled Elliott album is my favorite by far. Brilliant song writing from a true one of a kind. He is so missed today and everyday.”
Episode 125 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘UNDER THE COVERS’ - ft. Carl Broemel, Bahamas Feat.The Weather Station, The Last Dinosaur, Charles Bradley + a bunch more covers-flavoured headphone goodness.
“A rare instance of a posthumous album done right. It says a lot about Elliott's pure talent and selectiveness regarding his albums that even his outtakes are far better than many artists' crowning achievements (some of my favorite songs of his are actually on this album).”
Episode 120 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the HI54 Mix CD ‘420 ALL DAY’ - ft. The Finks, Mal Blum, Lovin' Spoonful, Mighty Voices of Wonder + a bunch more all-day-flavoured headphone goodness.
