“Some classic singer-songer vibes radiating throughout — pairs so nicely with a Sunday afternoon mood that there is even a song called 'Sundae Afternoon' on it.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

EPISODE 163 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 163 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems pulled from my personal Bandcamp Collection - ft. Fred Thomas, Megadead, Cut Worms, Carver Baronda + a bunch more Available-on-Bandcamp-flavoured headphone goodness (ps: this Friday, November 6th is another special ‘Bandcamp Friday’).
FANDCAMP: Arguably OK
“There’s no arguing the rowdy country rock on this album as anything but amazing. The raucous twang meets honky punk rock hammers down harder than a 12er of banquet beers on a muggy summer sweat. Imagine all 3 Hank Williams morphed into a raspy, psychedelic orchestra kicking their shit across the Pacific NW then rubbing it in the modern face of Nashville.”
SubmitCloud | October 2020
A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud-linked submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of October 2020.
FANDCAMP: Old Flowers
“This album is so good. I can't stop listening to it. Makes me want to take a road trip to Nashville.”
HI! here's FIVE things FOR consideration… | OCTOBER 2020
The HI54 Monthly Sunday Mass Email for October 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: Teamwork
“I can’t get enough of this cosmic folk inspired jamarama. Imagine a mix of The Boss, Tom Petty, Drive-By Truckers and early My Morning Jacket. The subtle use of brass compliments its reverb-etched harmonies, accented with a Southern hook and outlaw twang.”
EPISODE 160 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 160 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘YOUR WEEKLY 9(to)5 EH’ - ft. Angie McMahon, Black Belt Eagle Scout, Mirror Shot, Baseball Dad + a bunch more nicely-flavoured headphone goodness.
FANDCAMP: BREACH
“This is a stunningly great record. Engagingly sung. Gorgeous arrangements. Smart, sharp, clever songs.”
EPISODE 159 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 159 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EH CANADA’ - ft. nutrients, May Have, the Wooden Sky, Dana Gavanski + a bunch more Canadian-flavoured headphone goodness, eh.
FANDCAMP: Audio Visual Metro Computers
“Another funny and sad electronic EP from my best pal Benjamin Shaw. I'm absolutely loving these Megadead releases.”
FANDCAMP: Nobody Lives Here Anymore
“No matter what time of year I listen to Cut Worms, the music sends me to summer and to a back porch with a cold beer in hand. Can't ask for much better than that.”
