20X18 | 360 TUNES FROM 2018
Since the year was 2018, and since 20X18 = 360, this massive end of year playlist consists of 360 ace tunes released in the year 2018 (from 360 different artists/projects). I realize that’s a lot of music to take in, but the math is the math and I’ve been doing this bit too long to stop now.
2X18 - SIDE B | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Every year I do a ‘20X Current Year’ Spotify playlist at the end of the year, but since 20X18 = 360 I figured I better come up with some more manageable math for those who like their end of year headphone sampling to be a little more condensed. So here is SIDE B of the 2X18 mix tapes.
SO MANY CAROLINES | #HI54MIXCDS
There are a lot of songs written about Carolines. To be honest, the amount feels disproportionate to the amount of actual Carolines I have met in real life. But some names just roll off the tongue better than others I guess.
FANDCAMP: That Bridge Washed Away In The Storm
“great discovery - please make more music. Love the chill, folksy, in-the-woods vibe”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JOHN THAYER
"Essentially the big rudder is unable to turn as the force is too great, so the role of the trim tab is to make a smaller directional change which then allows the main rudder to turn. We're all trim tabs, we're all capable of turning society into a more progressive, compassionate direction."
SubmitCloud | December 2018
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for December 2018.
2 MINUTES OR LESS | #HI54MIXCDS
Sometimes you’re in a hurry and only have 2 minutes or less to get a song down your ears before you have to get back to work. Well, this playlist is chock-full of quick headphones fixes like that.
CHANGES | #HI54MIXTAPES
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.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JEFFREY SILVERSTEIN
"‘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.”"
Fandcamp: Evening Machines
“As Dan Mangan returns to his roots, Isakov still ploughs his land reaping many rewards.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ THE MARV
"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!"
