“Starting the day without looking at a screen. When possible, don't look at your phone or computer until after breakfast. I have never regretted this decision.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
FANDCAMP: The Birds Outside Sang
“feels like riding in a car on a day in May and passing every house you've ever lived in, every creek you've ever dipped your toes into. feels like looking into a puddle and seeing tadpoles and realizing that life can happen anywhere. it's as if all my friends have gathered me into a room, and they're saying: 'you made it. welcome home. we missed you.'”
HI54LO5: On The Corner
“You are dropped in an alley in the middle of a 70s blaxploitation film. The drugs start to turn on you & pretty soon you don't know what kind of film you are in.”
HI54LO5: LOVE MAN
“This album doesn't really bring anything “new” to the table that I had already carved “I <3 OTIS” into, so I will just get out my pocket knife and add a double underline.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ FREDRICK ARNOLD
“While I almost hesitate to suggest this, because I often wonder if I’d be happier if I could just settle for mediocrity, I think we could all benefit from disrupting the complacency in our lives.”
FANDCAMP: WINTER WHEAT
“John K. Samson is a national treasure and this new album is no exception.”
EPS 071 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 71 mixes up some old songs with some new songs with some not that old but not that new. The end result is another tasty soundtrack for a small part of your day. So get out the headphones, put them on your head & press play.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JOSHUA JAMES AMBERSON
“So I suppose my recommendation is just a reminder (to myself as much as others) that the world is so big and has so many different kinds of people, and we shouldn't let our eyes get in the way of being open to it.”
EPISODE 081 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 081 kicks off with Jenn Grant asking to be taken to the bar so she can see if she can fight, and before a Maggot Brain transitions into an Orange Peeler, you'll hear gems from Sam Moss, Addie Pray, Evening Hymns, and a bunch more goodness.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ LAUREN REARICK
“I'm a big proponent of reaching out to people you admire and saying hey, you do great work. Do that more.”
FANDCAMP: PASSING PLACE
“Places me in repose where I sometimes belong.”
