This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
“Running off with big bags of nostrum groceries, I accept the bitter handmade medicine, sweetened by the most interesting mixes I've ever heard, diligently laboring to peel every layer of each rich soundscape's tapestry.”
Since the year was 2018, and since 20X18 = 360, this massive end of year playlist consists of 360 ace tunes released in the year 2018 (from 360 different artists/projects). I realize that’s a lot of music to take in, but the math is the math and I’ve been doing this bit too long to stop now.
Every year I do a ‘20X Current Year’ Spotify playlist at the end of the year, but since 20X18 = 360 I figured I better come up with some more manageable math for those who like their end of year headphone sampling to be a little more condensed. So here is SIDE B of the 2X18 mix tapes.

“Were airports really this zen back in the 70s? Every time I fly it feels more like Alabama's “I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)” is stuck on loop.”
EPISODE 075 kicks off with Ugly Cassanova (and yes, there is a perfect explanation for why it sounds like Modest Mouse), and before things close out with a new song from Califone, you'll hear some great tunes from The Cave Singers, Bert Jansch, Lowpines, and a bunch more good stuff.
“incapable of writing a bad song - greatest living american rocknroll band”
There are a lot of songs written about Carolines. To be honest, the amount feels disproportionate to the amount of actual Carolines I have met in real life. But some names just roll off the tongue better than others I guess.
“great discovery - please make more music. Love the chill, folksy, in-the-woods vibe”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for December 2018.
Sometimes you’re in a hurry and only have 2 minutes or less to get a song down your ears before you have to get back to work. Well, this playlist is chock-full of quick headphones fixes like that.
