This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

Adam from songsfortheday asked some people to make him a Winter mix + answer some questions about the making of that mix and I did exactly that (in 2015). So grab your headphones and a blanket to curl under, because this episode goes deep into those winter feels, whichever year you’re in now.
“Algia Mae is a living legend. Her spunk comes through in innuendo-soaked lyrics and perfect Piedmont finger picking.”
After being away for a few weeks, I finally made it home… and then immediately came down with COVID. And since I am isolating in the bedroom of a small 1-bedroom flat (so as not to get my partner infected), I’ve decided it best to postpone all blogging duties until I’m testing negative and able to fire up the ol’ iMac in the COVID-free office / living room.
The HI54 ‘Provincial Playlists’ idea continues, this time with 95 nice tracks from 95 different bands/musicians being carefully exported from the Canadian province of New Brunswick (or with past roots there) for your listening pleasure / headphone tourism needs.

2020 quarantine had me doing a lot of 80s/90s video gaming — and since we’re now living in ‘2020 Too’, here’s my list of the top 25 Sega Master System games that are still fun/worth spending time playing all these years later (in case anyone else is looking to get into a similar nostalgic distraction).
Here's the 2nd episode of the (once) bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I’d go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station and then 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.
“No-one writes melodies like Tele Novella right now. Melodic, unpredictable, and bolstered by gorgeous & clever arrangements.”
This WE GO TOGETHER mix was originally put together back in August 2011, BUT, since I’m currently working on a bunch of interconnected website/project changes AND since this mix never had a proper blog post to accompany the Mixcloud mix, I figured all those elements equaled a good opportunity to repurpose some “old” content as “new” content.
