This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in MIXES
EPISODE 059 kicks off with Nathaniel & his night sweating affliction, and before Jason Isbell waves the final flag, you’ll hear tracks from Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo, Advance Base, Frog and a bunch more good stuff. So grab the headphones and find the play button.
Since the year in question is 2014, and since 20X14 = 280, this yearly summary playlist consists of 280 nice tunes released in the year 2014. From 280 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for January 2019.
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.
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.
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.

EPISODE 075 kicks off with Ugly Cassanova (and yes, there is a perfect explanation for why it sounds like Modest Mouse), and before things close out with a new song from Califone, you'll hear some great tunes from The Cave Singers, Bert Jansch, Lowpines, and a bunch more good stuff.
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.
“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…”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for December 2018.
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.
