There is a very small window leading up to Jesus' birthday where listening to Christmas music is bearable, if not even just a little bit desirable. But it's gotta be the good stuff.
As there is no escaping the jingles this times of year, I decided to give EPISODE 47 a little bit of a “Jesus's Birthday” vibe, albeit, more of a “JC drinking eggnog, celebrating his birthday alone” kind of vibe, but still… deck the halls and all that merry stuff.
I started a weekly Substack newsletter called THE WEEKLY EH?! to HIGHlight FIVE things FOR the current week in the highway 95/a area where I blahg from + 4 other things of Some Locals’ Interests — and you can read the latest one OVER HERE!
Look, I am not claiming that me having a Danish girlfriend makes me better suited to put together a Nordic playlist than your next Joe Canada, but I'm also not saying that it doesn't. I guess you'll have to listen and hear for yourself.
Here's the 23rd 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.
Episode 117 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the HI54 Mix CD ‘HIGH FIVE FOR… WINTER’ - ft. Lou Rogai, William Ryan Fritch, Funeral For Bird, Mountain Goats + a bunch more winter-flavoured headphone goodness.
“Manifesting, journaling, affirmations... I put out what I want into the universe and basically trust that the good and amazing things happen to me when I’m living completely in alignment with my true self.”
“Get a bird. They are lowkey terrible pets. Impossible to please. Messy. Noisy. But so great. And so pretty! And stupid!”
The ‘HI54 YEARBOOK MIXES’ series continues with a 19-track digital mix tape + 54-track digital mix cd from the year 1991 — featuring tunes from Primal Scream, Matthew Sweet, Talk Talk, Pearl Jam, A Tribe Called Quest + a whole bunch more… basically, it’s a nice ‘91 vintage to pour down your headphones.
Here's a halloween-ish mix of tunes for you to put on while you put your spooky face on or while you bop around the house feeling a little bit sinister. Your call if you only want to do that once a year.
Episode 162 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘HI54… HALLOWEEN’ - ft. Willie J Healey, Nouvelle Vague, Being Dead, The Holy Gasp + a bunch more Halloween-flavoured headphone goodness.
