“Go for a run once in a while. It's always a pain to get out the door, but each and every time I feel better and am glad that I did.”

ARCHIVES | MIX TAPE RADIO on FRUK - EPISODE 023
A local power outage fried my 2009 iMac, which means we’re going back in time to repost some “lost” episodes of the Mix Tape Radio Show until my ol’ Mac gets back from computer hospital. Luckily, these old episodes — like EPISODE 023 from September 2013— are still really nice to listen to.
FANDCAMP: Mia Gargaret
“listening to this album makes me feel like my body is waking up, coming alive. like you can feel the tingle in your fingertips. it surrounds you in the most profound way & gently releases you at its end.”
FANDCAMP: UNTITLED (Black Is)
“I hope this goes on to be acknowledged as the important piece it is, musically, lyrically and culturally. Not always easy to hear, but a must.”
EPISODE 152 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 152 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘INDIE AMERICA, USA’ - ft. Concetta Abbate, Colin Miller, Indigo Bunting, Jacksonport + a bunch more american-indie-flavoured headphone goodness.
HI! here's FIVE things FOR consideration… | AUGUST 2020
The HI54 Monthly Sunday Mass Email for August 2020 was sent out to subscribed inboxes today. Not subscribed? Well, you can still read the newsletter + maybe if that sounds interesting it wouldn’t be the worst idea to sign-up for future monthly newsletters?
Scribd | HI54LOFILY RECOMMENDED
“Whether in person or on the blog, whenever the topic of books comes up—and, yes, sometimes it will be me bringing up the topic—there are some decent odds that I have segued into talking about how much of a bang for your buck having a Scribd subscription is.”
FANDCAMP: every which way
“Absolutely love this album. Melancholic sometimes but never miserable.”
Conspiracies in the time of Corona
“Unfortunately, the thought of that puts most egos off, so, here we are, the same place we always end up going back to after the newness of a tragedy temporarily pulls us all a little bit closer together — sharing theories on why we should hurry up back to thinking more about ourselves and not worrying about people we don’t know again.”
RE-HACKING A SEGA Mega drive / Genesis MINI FOR CONTINUED SELF-QUARANTINE PURPOSES
As of right now, I have 118 Sega games loaded + 17 NES games + 17 SNES games — and I probably have enough internal storage on the Sega Mini left for adding another 50+ games. In other words, hacking a Sega Mini is a pretty perfect project if you’re an old millennial trying to get through a global pandemic.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BAD FLAMINGO
“Give some tender loving care to a cactus.”
