ARCHIVES | NOTHING ON TV
In an attempt to free up some headspace for other work during these last couple weeks of October, I’ll be taking a break from creating new Mixcloud mixes EVERY Thursday and instead will be sharing some old mixes that were posted to Mixcloud before HI54.BLOG even existed.

FANDCAMP: Creation Never Sleeps, Creation Never Dies: The Willie Dunn Anthology
“September 30th, 2021, was Canada's first National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. October 1st, 2021, is another Bandcamp Friday. This seems like a sign to go buy/listen to some Indigenous music, eh? For example, do you have this great Willie Dunn collection in your collection?”

“The thing about Norm for me—besides growing up in the 90s tv run that's become so rightfully beloved on Youtube—it's the small town Canada-ness of him. The Good & The Bad. Growing up rural & now living in a small mountown, you end up with a lot of different Norms in your life.”

LATE STAGE CAPITALISM BLUES | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
Just some tunes to throw on while the corrupt version of capitalism we’ve been sold for generations keeps crumbling all around us. Because change needs to start on the inside, and music can help speed up the process — or, as Jarvis so eloquently pointed out back in ‘06: “the c*nts are still running the world” ✊
