This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in ODDS
“The song titles alone were enough to purchase these 9 little tracks. In all seriousness though, a really nice find from Asheville and a sound not so commonly found in that music rich blue ridge city.”
“After taking a beat to go from 'wow I can't believe that Will Smith thing happened' to 'ok but nothing to do with me', now all I can think is how I've been working on a 90s mix & listening to 'I'm All That' all weekend *LITERALLY* saying to myself "dang this song slaps".”
“Sounds simple but most people are walking around totally dehydrated. We drink sweet, salty, caffeinated, alcoholic drinks without question, but water is always like, meh. Iʼm making an effort of drinking more water every day and it helps me feel better in my mind and body.”
I asked a local cocktail lounge if they’d be interested in playing a 54-track 1970s mix cd (aka: a 3hr-ish playlist) and they said ‘ya!’ and then on Thursday March 24th, 2022 this 54-track 70s soundtrack was pressed play on at Hourglass in Kimberley, BC. And now you can press play on it too, whenever/wherever you are.
Here's the 35th instalment of the (mostly) 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 'Mix Tape Radio approved' tracks and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
“I spend way too much time on chess.com. I’ve played thousands of 3 minute blitz games against people from all over the world since the pandemic started.”
“Take a month off whatever your vice or choice is. The mental/physical reset and exercise in discipline is wonderful.”
“Fantastic -- as if Chrissie Hynde were backed by Crazy Horse, with incredible songwriting depth.”
“Speaking of stretches, I recently started getting into a daily yoga routine. And since I am a total newbie that can barely hold any proper poses, I’ve found it really helpful to just embrace the fact that I am a total newbie that can barely hold any of the proper poses.”
“1993 was a very good year for hip-hop, with many classic album releases. Although this album doesn’t get anywhere near the recognition it deserves, I couldn’t imagine my life without it.”
The HI54 Submithub queue had switched to only being open for new submissions on Mondays, but… at the moment, I’m actually just on a total music submission break in general (extended until April 2022). Read this blog post for more info if you’re interested in the whys & hows.
“Such a solid piece of work. The poetry really stands out and flows on this heavy. Thank you for another amazing album.”
