A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud-linked submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of September 2020.
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in QUICK HITS
FANDCAMP: Shore
“Listening makes my ears feel like they are getting hugged by a big, warm, burly lumberjack in the dead of winter and suddenly the seasons change to spring. The band continues to perfect their sound while refining what makes their sound so unique and special.”
EPISODE 157 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 157 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘HIGH FIVE FOR… AUTUMN’ - ft. Western Skies Motel ,Evan Dando, Hand Habits, Yo La Tengo + a bunch more autumn-flavoured headphone goodness.
FANDCAMP: Closing Time (Remastered)
“Words and performance that cuts like a knife. It hurts to listen to, in a good way. There is nothing else like it. Can't fit it into a pigeon holed format. It has neat jagged edges. I don't know what else to say. I just like it. And that is all!”
EPISODE 156 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 156 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘FROM THE SUBMITHUB ARCHIVES’ - ft. Strand Of Oaks, Gold Light, MUNYA, Karima Walker & Katy Kirby + a bunch more found-on-Submithub headphone goodness.
WORK THE BODY / WORK THE MIND | #HI54MIXCDS
For when you want to keep your body motivated while doing cardio but you also want to listen to an audiobook / podcast at the same time (or just straight-up read old school style if you're on a stationary bike). Also works good if you just want to do some undistracted thinking while you get a sweat on.
FANDCAMP: Bonny Light Horseman
“Bonny Light Horseman! Exclamation point! This album is a wonder.”
HI! here's FIVE things FOR consideration… | SEPTEMBER 2020
The HI54 Monthly Sunday Mass Email for September 2020 was sent out to subscribed inboxes today. Not subscribed? Well, you can still read the newsletter + maybe if that sounds interesting it wouldn’t be the worst idea to sign-up for future monthly newsletters?
FANDCAMP: Rock Bottom Rhapsody
“Say hello to an amazing blend of blues, jazz, country, gospel, and alt-folk brilliance! Pokey LaFarge pulls off the Tom Waits trick of seeming to come from another time without sounding dated, and the songs are so cool and catchy they feel like newly-minted standards of the genre. This record's just impossibly groovy from start to finish.”
EPISODE 155 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 155 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN: INSERT CURRENT YEAR’ - ft. Field Medic, Robert Chaney, Sara Rachele, Young Jesus + a bunch more 2020-flavoured headphone goodness.
FANDCAMP: South Somewhere Else
“Very relevant subjects discussed here, done in a way only this band can. Once again, Nana Grizol refuses to release anything that is less than spectacular, and I hope for many many many more releases to rate 10/10 like I have with all the other albums these beautiful people have put out.”
DIY SPIN CLASS | #HI54MIXCDS
Throw this playlist on shuffle and let the music determine when you hit the pedals hard and how hard you hit them. If you're ADD like me, run some NBA highlights on Youtube in the background.
