“Pixar-esque scenes kept flashing in my head. So much so, I think I might've storyboarded a new Disney film. Somebody get me John Lasseter on the phone!”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ PIP HALL
“Even though the internet is a marvellous creation and as a teenager I'm almost expected to go on my phone 24/7, I find it so nice not being sucked into a never ending black hole of celebrities, dog filters and Harambe memes.”
HI54LO5: THE HARDER THEY COME
“Reggae is Jamaican gospel music and, like me, you probably don't listen to enough of it. So, if your local congregation is a white flocks with a zero dread count, just start worshipping at home with albums like this.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CHUCK
“I don't even know where to begin. I stammer and stutter like a nervous teenager asking someone to prom when I start recommending this. It makes me weak in the knees. It is brutal and hilarious and heartbreaking and will make you want to be a better person.”
FANDCAMP: STRANGERS
“Strangers is an evolution of what has come before but the core of what draws the listener in is still there, unchanged.”
HI54LO5: JUSTICE
“Lazer Fight Through Space + Seinfeld Bassline + Speaker 'Bout To Pop + Don’t Tell Me To Don't Touch The Dial + Arcade End Credits = Excellent Music For Hitting The Exercise Bike Extra Hard.”
EPISODE 084 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 084 kicks off with something from Okkervil River's excellent new album, and before things close out with something from A Singer Of Songs excellent new album you'll hear a bunch of other tracks off excellent new albums.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ AARON POWELL (FOG LAKE)
“I see so many people and they feel like they're nothing without someone else. Look for peace of mind and love will come easy.”
FANDCAMP: 22, A Million
“By just reading the title names, you know that you are entering into some uncharted territory musically. Bon Iver newest album, although lacking in what I feel drew me into his initial sphere of music, has taken quite a big risk with this release. I sure as hell am glad that he did.”
HI54LO5: FIZZY FUZZY BIG & BUZZY
“Listening for the first time because I've been on a bit of a 90's kick lately, and because teen me—even though a multi-time Colombia House subscriber who recorded 'Banditos' off the radio & dug King Of The Hill—for some reason never listened to this album before.”
EPISODE 068 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 68 kicks off with one of the nicest songs of 2016. Surely that's enough to get you to press play.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JAMES SMITH (FOX FOOD RECORDS)
“Not to sound too twee but I think we all just need to be nicer to each other. Look after each other, care for one another, make sure we’re all ok. Let’s start doing that more please.”
