“Songwriting at its best. An album of unimaginable intensity written with a surprising, straightforward honesty. Joanna Sternberg is a voice to listen and to cry with.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PAUL BERGMANN
“Elevate your legs for at least 10 minutes a day. Helps relieve stress, improve circulation, and boost your mood. I've also had a lot of revelations when doing this so I equate it to a gentle high.”
FANDCAMP: Bare EP
“A beautifully arresting voice and intricate arrangements.”

EPISODE 106 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BROKEN SHOULDER
“I am effectively giving this recommendation to myself. Get obsessed with to-do lists, but don’t get too obsessed. They really help me get stuff done instead of just sitting around doing nothing, but they do tend to take over my life a little and possibly contribute to an underlying feeling of anxiety.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 19, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — but this week’s featured shuffle update is for the ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN <insert current year>’ playlist that I keep stocked with every track from 2019 that’s both made it into my headphones so far + got me going “I like this”.
EPISODE 105 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 105 kicks off with Matt Dorrien feeling lost & before things close out with Evan Wright thinking that something might be wrong hear, you’ll hear artists like Young Jesus and Kiraiyzu, you’ll go from a mood to finer feelings and there’ll be a full moon lullaby for you & me.
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 12, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — but this week’s featured shuffle update is for the ‘NIEHCES’ playlist I keep going for my 3 little nieces (who just so happened to come hang with me in the mountains all last week).
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DEAN MANNING
“Swimming. All year round. Summer in the sea or a lake. Winter is trickier if you’re holed up in a mountainous snow but for the most part there’s a heated community pool nearby. I recommend 3 mornings a week. This will make amends for whatever else you do.”
HI54… GUEST MIX W/ DANNY FROM FROG
“I think the reason why it sounds so good today is because the 70s were kind of a bummer time for the US with Nixon and the economy and such, and this music is just unbridled optimism despite all that.”
