This guest mix (and accompanying words) came via Lauren Rearick from The Grey Estates (everybody’s favourite purple powered music blog) near the end of 2017.
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in LONG PULLS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SEB WESTCOTT
"Start asking interesting questions to your colleagues (and to make it even more fun you can demand that they answer immediately without thinking)"
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."
HI54… GUEST MIX W/ TOM FROM FROG
“When Napster was a thing, I used it to collect these songs on my parent's computer. I played them loud and flung myself around the basement until dinner was ready. I can't claim to have been a part of a community that listened to this music in a group setting, so I guess thats what I want to do now…”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANIEL ISAIAH
"Rub it in your hair, rub it on your skin, rub it on your friends"
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ANNA TIVEL
"Try to get a bag that’s only half full, or else you run the risk of eating the whole thing at once and feeling quite ill, like a bottle of wine without the fun."
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.”"
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!"
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SAM ALLEN FROM RUN COYOTE
"Vote to save the environment/Earth/world/our future."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SOPHIE NICOLE ELLISON (HUSSY)
"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."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ OF THE VALLEY
"‘Bearability’ is increased for me with using free time for reading, writing and meditation. Choosing these things when free time is on offer draws the external world in and draws calmness out."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ RACHAEL KROSS FROM PLUM
"Honestly who am I really… I don’t have my sh*t together. Do you want to take advice from me?"
