This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
After a wee hiatus, The Mix Tape Radio Show returns with the 98th episode. Things kick off with some Gia Margaret loveliness & before closing out with the always wonderful Tiny Ruins, we’ll go from Lagos to Long Beach, Benjamin Shaw to Dusty Springfield, and a bunch of stuff in between. Celebrate good times come on.
"Try to see more of the world around you with your own eyes, and spend time with the people you love doing things that make you're mind and body happy."
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for September 2018.
Since the year in question is 2015, and since 20X15 = 300, this yearly summary playlist consists of 300 nice tunes released in the year 2015. From 300 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
Episode 36 starts off with some good ol' Townes Van Zandt (which then leads into an artist sampling good ol' Townes Van Zandt) and before the tape ends with a song that perfectly captures how I would like my own funeral to go, you'll hear Small Wonder, Junior Kimbrough, Shout Out Louds and a whole bunch more.
"Honestly, I can only think about how great it would be if Twitter just suddenly vanished. Twitter is the website that will bring me to ruin. Please follow me."
“Strangely hypnotic. Surprisingly well produced, considering it's age.”
Episode 51 kicks off with an acoustic version from a band with a long long long name and closes out with a 'previously unreleased, momentarily released, once again unreleased' Shakey Graves tune. In between those you'll hear Sufjan, Two Gallants, Hiss Golden Messenger, and a whole bunch more, so I'll just stop listing so you can just get listening.
"Everyone should spend less time on their computers and devices - myself included. Make time to go for walks with your friends!"
"It perfectly depicts a believable modern day dystopia with hints of the dark surreal and loaded with important political and social commentary."
“Recommended on a whim; I recommend this with an utmost certainty that this is an album for all ears and listens on end.”
