THE "SHUFFLE UP'D EIGHT" ARCHIVES | #HI54MIXCDS
Every Monday, I highlight 8 tracks from my recent playlist shuffling in something called the ‘Shuffle Up’d 8’ and this playlist is an archive for every track that's been featured — which is another way of saying that this playlist makes for a really quality shuffle.
Fandcamp: I Need A New War
“I've listened to this album and rolled the amazing lyrics around my mind for about three days straight. It's a masterwork and a classic. I think, in twenty years, bands will most likely cover these songs sort of like they cover Leonard Cohen and Lou Reed now. Highly recommended!”

“She's an incredible artist, her vibe is off the scale impressive and the songs are so memorable I literally, can't. stop. singing.”
EPISODE 037 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 037 was put together after returning to the UK from a vacation in Spain. Back when I used to live in the UK (circa 2014). It’s also the most listened to Mix Tape Radio episode ever. Do with that information what you will.
FANDCAMP: THE CREATURE THAT I CALL MYSELF
“An album that deserves much more attention than it's got. Great melodies, and lyrics with a bite and a smirk. Certainly one of my tops for the year.”
FANDCAMP: The Pursuit of HappyNess: The Story of Mickalascage.
“Mick Jenkins has been behind some of my fave rap tracks these last few years (‘Jazz’, ‘Understood’ to be specific) so I thought I'd come see if there's anything on Bandcamp &… jazzed to find some smooth early stuff not available on the you know who's.”
