A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud-linked submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of November 2021.
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
THE HI54 HOT 95, EH | >100k MONTHLY LISTENERS
I started playing around with sorting my Spotify ‘liked’ music by monthly listener counts, and since I’ve accumulated + continue to accumulate a lot of ‘liked’ music, I thought it might be interesting to keep ongoing 95-track playlists for certain listener thresholds. This one is for those with more than 100k monthly listeners (but <1 million).
20 from '06 | THE HI54 YEARBOOK MIXES
The ‘HI54 YEARBOOK MIXES’ series continues with music from the year 2006 — featuring tunes from The Avett Brothers, Cat Power, Hot Chip, Camera Obscura + a whole bunch more… it’s a nice 2006 vintage to stick in your headphones.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CHERRY BLASTER
“Meditation. I used to have to listen to something to fall asleep, but now I've finally learned to let go of my insane thoughts and just drift off.”
EPISODE 086 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Since it's almost that haunted time of year again (again), I figured I would give EPISODE 086 a bit of an All Hallows' Eve vibe. But since the other 340+ days on the calendar do not feel so haunted, I didn't go 'Monster Mash' levels deep on this mix. Hopefully, that leaves the listening window open long past Satan's October 31st birthday.
THE HI54 HOT 95, EH | <100 MONTHLY LISTENERS
I started playing around with the idea of sorting my Spotify ‘liked’ music by the artists monthly listener counts, and since I’ve accumulated + continue to accumulate a lot of ‘liked’ music, I thought it might be interesting to keep ongoing 95-track playlists for certain listener thresholds. This one is for those with less than 100 monthly listeners.

ARCHIVES | NOTHING ON TV
In an attempt to free up some headspace for other work during these last couple weeks of October, I’ll be taking a break from creating new Mixcloud mixes EVERY Thursday and instead will be sharing some old mixes that were posted to Mixcloud before HI54.BLOG even existed. This one goes back 11 years :)
THE MIX TAPE RADIO MIX CDs | DISC 25
Here's the 25th instalment of the bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 95-tracks that have been rated as 'Mix Tape Radio approved' and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
HI:54 / LO:5 — Norm Macdonald on WTF Podcast 2011
“The thing about Norm for me—besides growing up in the 90s tv run that's become so rightfully beloved on Youtube—it's the small town Canada-ness of him. The Good & The Bad. Growing up rural & now living in a small mountown, you end up with a lot of different Norms in your life.”
STUMBLING THRU MY THOUGHTS TOWARDS ARRIVING AT MY FINAL VOTE | FEDERAL ELECTION 2021
After watching the Leaders Debate, I figured this weekend would be a good time to officially work out where my head was at with this HOPEFULLY pivotal election… and what better way to work out where my head is at than by running it thru a blog post that other people might read so I’ll have to overthink things even more than usual?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ OWEN HAMLIN
“Let me tell you to pick up that instrument you’ve always had the desire to learn to play. For some reason you think you can’t do it. You can! It’s fun.”
