“I'm a big proponent of reaching out to people you admire and saying hey, you do great work. Do that more.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
FANDCAMP: PASSING PLACE
“Places me in repose where I sometimes belong.”
HI54LO5: GRIS GRIS
“They say that if you play this album 3 times in the bathroom mirror after midnight, you will summon The Devil as played by Tom Waits in 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'. Try it if you dare.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DANTE ALLINGTON
“The Internet is cool as hell but so is outside. Go outside. Go sit in a park, or hike a mountain, or even chill at a bar. Just remember to unplug every once in awhile.”
EPISODE 073 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 073 kicks off with an oldie from Lee Hazlewood, and before things close out with an oldie from Mulatu Astatke you'll hear a not quite as oldie from Yo La Tengo, a brand new one from Ings, Nap Eyes, Buddy Holliday and even more goodness.
FANDCAMP: Swim Inside the Moon
“so fuckin good it makes me blush, consistently remarkable work”
FANDCAMP: Hella Personal Film Festival
“A rap album with some sample-heavy yet obtuse (for the genre) production and rap verses that can make you think, laugh, and maybe cry (sometimes at the same time).”
HITS OF NOSTALGIA | A BUNCH OF SPOTIFY PLAYLISTS
These decade playlists provide a nice outlet for discovery and re-discovery. Sure there is enough old faithfuls to fill each mix to the brim, but as I’ve said before, the exciting thing about Spotify is how much new-to-me music from the past there is to explore.
HI54LO5: COLOUR GREEN
“This album would make the perfect soundtrack for your next 'Cleaning The House At Dawn After Everyone Has Left The Party' session. Or, I suppose, it'd probably work just as well for your next 'Cleaning The House At Dusk After All The Kids Have Gone To Bed' session. Choose your own adventure.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SAM CLARK
“Go outside more. Basically, forego recommendations two through four for a stretch (but bring number one, as it is very good walking-around-outside music) and spend some time out of the house each day.”
EPISODE 082 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
EPISODE 082 kicks off with an oldie from Willie Nelson, and before things close out with an oldie from Judee Sill, you'll hear gems from Margaret Glaspy, Chris Staples, Roger Miller, BADBADNOTGOOD, and a bunch more good good not bad tunes.
FANDCAMP: BLOOD BITCH
“Delusional Vampire Madness, Dreamy Wild Psychosis, What's not to love?”
