“The combination of 'Me Not Being A Fan Of Metal' + 'This Bands Name' + 'My Tendency To Jump To Incorrect Conclusions' kept me away from this atmospheric beauty. My bad.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 077
EPISODE 077 kicks off with a new to me oldish Jim White tune and before things close out with an epic one off Lucy Dacus' great debut, you'll also hear some great tunes from Andrew Bird, Big Thief, Merle Haggard, Fruit Bats and a bunch more.
FANDCAMP: Spooky Action at a Distance
“spooky action at a distance = lovely listen in the morning”
FANDCAMP: Screentime
“Listened to this album multiple times and each play gets better and better. Found out about this through SPORTS and I love every second of it.”
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 072
EPISODE 072 kicks off with a beauty from The Shivers, and before things fade out with The Cars you'll hear something so brand new from Hallelujah The Hills that you can't hear it anywhere else (true at the time of writing), an oldie but goldie from Michael Hurley, Lucy Dacus, Allen Toussaint, and even more goodness.
HI54LO5: THE EARTH IS NOT A COLD DEAD PLACE
“Welcome to 'You Can't Achieve Success Without First Imagining Yourself Achieving It!' Please find a spot on the floor & put your headphones on. Now, close your eyes & imagine yourself achieving success until the music stops. That's it. Also, contrary to what the flyer advertised, there will be no coffee and cake.”
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 079
EPISODE 079 kicks off with some loveliness from The Grey Estates recent summer compilation and before things close out with Monday Night Fever singing about Sunday Lovers, you'll also hear some ace tunes from: Julia Jacklin, White Denim, Islands, Karen Elson and more.
FANDCAMP: Carey EP
“Just the kind of EP you need for getting summer started, whatever time of the year you put it on.”
FANDCAMP: SECRETS
“Just gave it a first spin—so good!! I can’t wait to dive deeper into this one (get it?). Definitely going to be in the running for top 10 albums of 2016.”
MIX TAPE RADIO: EPISODE 066
EPISODE 66 kicks off with the hungover, sunglasses wearing cool that is Califone's 'When Leon Spinx Moved Into Town', and before things close out with an oldie but goldie from the King of Mosey, you'll hear gems from Cigarettes After Sex, Bora Bora, Josh Ritter and a quality handful of others.
FANDCAMP: ONE DAY WE'LL LAUGH ABOUT ALL THIS
“A record predominantly based around seemingly improvisational drone pieces incorporating judicious voice and atmospheric sampling, alternating manifestations of sublime beauty and extreme darkness and just general originality and uniqueness.”
HI54LO5: A.M.
“I've always associated Wilco's entire existence as only existing when I was an adult human, even though I've always known the math of that doesn't add up. Feels weird to know that I technically could have been into them since I was 12 years old.”
