This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
"Get some hobbies outside of the black mirror of social media, pick up something physical, real and dig your hands and heart into it. It's good for the soul. Might also make you live longer."
"It doesn’t even really matter where you go, just getting out there is good. See stuff. Experience different cultures. Try to have conversations with people who don’t speak your language. It’s fun and eye opening and less boring than if you didn’t do it."
EPISODE 53 kicks off with some loveliness from YouYourself&I, and before it closes out with some Wearlyland, you'll hear stuff from Courtney Barnett, Modest Mouse, Flaming Lips and Justin Townes Earle singing about single mothers & absent fathers while his dad sings about not being anybody's daddy now.
“hard to choose a fav song from this album let alone an album from this band”
“In The Shadows reminded me of the first time I heard Sturgill Simpson’s album ‘Metamodern Sounds in Country Music’ which ended up being my album of the year in 2014. This has elements of psych, punk, and classic country with its sweeping reverb and spit shined steel guitar. Think along the lines of Marty Stuart meets Lucero for an idea of what to expect. The entire discography of this TX punk is gold.”
Since the year in question is 2011, and since 20X11 = 220, this yearly summary playlist consists of 220 nice tunes released in the year 2011. From 220 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
“This album is just the right amount of flowing, groovy, spooky, post surf that I need in my life.”
“absolutely amazing. you can hear, but more importantly, feel the truth in her music. she has such a natural feel and a melodic intuition that is wickedly developed. unique and perfect.”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for July 2018.
“Another beautiful piece of art by Jordan Lee. I've listened in full three times in a row this morning of the release, and while it falls a little behind Love's Crushing Diamond (which was my 2013 album of the year) for me, it is still a stunning piece of work.”
“As if Joanna Newsom met early Tori Amos and had a gloriously melancholic lovechild who surpassed the parents. Not only good for repeated listening but it grows and deepens with time.”
“Pat Moon's sophomore album seamlessly echoes 2016s Don't Hide from the Light. She again transcends her influences with beautifully crafted ambient-noir arrangements. Her vocals are nothing less than haunting and distant; often triggering goosebumps along with a subtle emotional response. Her music is my inner ethereal lullaby.”
