“A superb album and one that's treasures will, I'm certain, continue to unfold as time progresses. Includes some very very dreamy melodies indeed.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 034
Episode 34 not only features a bunch of great songs, but it is also the 2nd time I've made a mix that has included Benjamin Shaw and Mos Def on it. I'm pretty sure I am the only person who has ever done that even once, for whatever that's worth to you.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CLOUD
“Making life more bearable? When you eat delicious food, realize that it makes you dance. (!)”
FANDCAMP: MY WOMAN
“This album gets a lot of things right. It is beautifully written, and Olsen's vocal delivery is amazing of course, but what I love the most about it is how naturally it manages to be both heavy and cheerful; slow and upbeat. I reckon this will be on my playlist for quite some time.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ RACHEL TRACHTENBURG (WOOING)
“Chia seeds! Add them to water or oatmeal.They give so much energy and nutrients.”
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 056
Kicks off with loveliness from Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and before Robert Lester Folsom starts singing 'see you later', you'll hear: a corker from Alabama Shakes, Mountain Man covering a mountain man, GRANDMAS with the all the As taken out, Will Johnson, T.Rex, The Weather Station and a bunch more great stuff.
FANDCAMP: Stranger in the Alps
"hauntingly beautiful, these songs pull emotions out of me like long noodles in a hot soup which then I can more or less tenderly soak back up"
FANDCAMP: Wherever You Go, I'll Protect You
“I'm a bit of a sucker for jams that mix in old audio samples; always seems to trigger a gravitational force that pulls me further into the headphones for a closer listen. This EP has got that thing. And you’ll find yourself wanting to go back to the start once you get to the end."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ WILL STEWART
“Unplug from social media as much as possible. I'm trying to call people more now rather than just texting or messaging, etc.”
SubmitCloud | February 2018

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ANDREW STOCKER
“Let’s all quit smoking together! You go first.”
Mix Tape Radio: Episode 060
EPISODE 060 kicks off with some Wilder Maker and closes out with a track from that Elliott Smith cover album from Seth Avett & Jessica Lea Mayfield that I totally forgot had happened. In between those, you'll hear some new-to-me Isaac Brock solo stuff, newish Beirut and oldish Cory Branan… and a whole bunch more.
