Welp, the time has come to officially pull the plug and start packing up all my music blogging stuff :(
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in EVENS
FANDCAMP: Nothing for Me, Please
“This long awaited, shooting star of an album, has at last dropped into our cosmos and it is pure beauty! Every song demands presence; they conjure and set the soul aflame. Dean's talent, artistry and vulnerability is much needed in this world and his record is a gift to humanity.”
LOCALLY RECOMMENDED W/ SARAH ORTON
“Unpopular opinion, unless I’m on tour... half-caff at home has been great for my nervous system. We buy a bag of decaf and full to make our own because it can be hard to find sometimes.”
MOUNTOWN LIFE | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
An ongoing shuffle of 95 tracks that capture some of the vibes that bounce around the air when, like myself, you find yourself kicking about in a mountain town (or 'Mountown' for short / easier hashtagging).
Some Locals' Interests // October 17th, 2023
I started a weekly Substack newsletter called THE WEEKLY EH?! to HIGHlight FIVE things FOR the current week in the highway 95/a area where I blahg from — it gets sent out EVERY Tuesday, and you can read the latest one OVER HERE!
LOCAL INTRODUCTIONS w/ JEREMY @ 95EH.CA + MOUN.TOWN
“Throw in the fact that the hope for the future world I'd like to live in feels easier to hold onto when surrounded by all those things I just mentioned & more (which comes with living amongst other people that are also drawn to those same things)… I think the highway 95/a area is still very much a pretty dang good place to be™!”
THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs | DISC 16
Here's the 16th episode of the 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 I shuffle up a selection of 'Mix Tape Radio approved' tunes and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANNY from FROG + 'Goes w/o Saying' TRACK PREMIERE
“This is like a reach-through-the-mirror-and-emerge-in-a-pool-of-clear-water-in-a-snow-covered-alternate-universe-style vibe. This is like if the elves in the Lord of The Rings made folk songs with bust-your-shit-open beats.”
EPISODE 166 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 166 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN: INSERT CURRENT YEAR’ - ft. David Karsten Daniels, It Looks Sad, Lala Lala, Swash + a bunch more 2020-flavoured headphone goodness.

"No Englishman could speak this Language adequately unless he were drunk and had no roof to his mouth"
FANDCAMP: DEATHFAME
“Amidst all the chaos Quelle Chris comes through with another weird life-affirming series of beats and observations. QCs great album streak very much intact.”
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 069
There is a certain time of the year when cuddling and thinking about cuddling is at its highest. And during that time of the year, one can, if they so desire, bust out Episode 69 of the Mix Tape Radio Show. Because it was made with that time of the year in mind.
