This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
I made this mix tape around 2011, which was around the time I was quitting a stable market research job to head back over to Europe without any plan or career path. I guess one could make the argument that I’m still on the same bullshit all these years later.
"‘What Light’ off of Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky album sums it up best. Tweedy sings, “If you feel like singing a song, and you want other people to sing along, just sing what you feel, don’t let anyone say it’s wrong.”"
“As Dan Mangan returns to his roots, Isakov still ploughs his land reaping many rewards.”
"I think people should start talking to each other a bit more. Now, turn off your device and get out of the house, get some fresh air!"
“This is something special. Each of the artists bring their own style. Yet, somehow they interlace to create this perfect fall treat. I will love this forever & ever”
“CFO, the extraordinary mix of broken beat, americana, world & electronic music, consists of the huge amount of rhythms that are consumed by brain immediately, but demand multifold repeats.”
"I have a habit of wanting to please other people and say yes to everything but it’s ok to put your self first and say no to things sometimes."
“Great stoner come down album, best played on the morning after a heavy night.... J Mascis makes quality music whether it's with Dinosaur Jr, Heavy Blanket or any of his other many bands...”
"Honestly who am I really… I don’t have my sh*t together. Do you want to take advice from me?"
"It's completely changed the game for me. I bring it on tour, I use it at home. I love it so much."
Since the year in question is 2013, and since 20X13 = 260, this yearly summary playlist consists of 260 nice tunes released in the year 2013. From 260 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
