This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
In search of way to start uploading more + longer mixes to Mixcloud, I ended up rediscovering some iTunes organizational tools I had setup back when ‘Mix Tape Radio’ was a 24/7 internet radio stream, which eventually led to a new mix series idea called THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs —and here’s DISC 01.
Episode 156 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘FROM THE SUBMITHUB ARCHIVES’ - ft. Strand Of Oaks, Gold Light, MUNYA, Karima Walker & Katy Kirby + a bunch more found-on-Submithub headphone goodness.
The HI54 Monthly Sunday Mass Email for September 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?
“Say hello to an amazing blend of blues, jazz, country, gospel, and alt-folk brilliance! Pokey LaFarge pulls off the Tom Waits trick of seeming to come from another time without sounding dated, and the songs are so cool and catchy they feel like newly-minted standards of the genre. This record's just impossibly groovy from start to finish.”
“Very relevant subjects discussed here, done in a way only this band can. Once again, Nana Grizol refuses to release anything that is less than spectacular, and I hope for many many many more releases to rate 10/10 like I have with all the other albums these beautiful people have put out.”
Episode 154 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems pulled from my personal Bandcamp Collection - ft. Icarus Phoenix, Fighting Kites, Noname, Julia Jacklin + a bunch more Available-on-Bandcamp-flavoured headphone goodness (ps: Friday, September is another special ‘Bandcamp Friday’).
“When you feel like you can't do anything, or the thoughts run too wild, go to the beach in the evening, just sit there and shut up. It's magic.”

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 024 from October 2013— are still really nice to listen to.
“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.”
