“This record has definitely staked a claim as one of my favourite pieces of music of all time. Fantastic arrangements, staggering lyrics & clarinets!”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

Fandcamp: The Songs Of David Bowie
“I don't usually go for tribute albums but this one is an exception. Really great selection of tunes performed by some of my favorite bands! Heartless Bastards face melting version of version of Jean Genie and Ume's Suffragette City are only two of many high points in this album. Worthwhile!”
FANDCAMP: Land of No Junction
“Close your eyes, turn the volume up and just let the music take you somewhere different, somewhere nice.”
THE HI54 BANDCAMP SHUFFLE | March 2020
A Playmoss playlist that you can use to shuffle up all the Bandcamp tracks that were shared on the HI54 blahg during the month of March 2020.
HI54LO5: Tiger King
“Tiger King is Making A Murderer + Wild Wild Country + The Jerry Springer Show + Siegfried & Roy + We Bought A Zoo. And unless you’re a completely different person than I, then that sounds like something worth watching.”
FANDCAMP: Colour Green
“German actress & folk singer recorded a capella (voice & guitar) these songs on a home tape recorder in the early 70s, they were never intended for commercial release. That explains the personal intimate nature of the songs, imagine a Leonard Cohen without the bible or literary allusions, about her friends and her own personal life at the time. Delightful.”

The long story short is that if you’re looking for a good self-quarantine project to take on, as it seems like society is going to be doing the opposite of our parents telling us to “turn off that video game and go play outside” for the next few weeks/months at least— I HI54LOFI-LY RECOMMEND that you look into hacking a Sega Mini.
Everyday Is A Good Day To Start Meditating
“In a way, meditating is kinda like micro-dosing the red pill everyday—so just think of sitting down to meditate as how you take your most important daily vitamin.”
FANDCAMP: Printer's Devil
“Ratboys are honest to god the best band in the world right now. Great lyrics, melodies to die for, and they rock live. This is what rock and roll has the potential to be if you do it right, it was our greatest gift from the 20th century and it will never die as long as bands like Ratboys exist.”
FANDCAMP: MODERN COUNTRY
“The guitar as implement of mysterious investigation; the numinous explored...”
