“'If Bruce Springsteen had actually been from Nebraska, this is what the album Nebraska would have sounded like' - my friend Matt”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ VANESSA PETERS
"Go back to listening to an album from top to bottom! Streaming services are a great intro to an artist's work, but man, listening to an album start to finish will help you understand each individual song so much better."
FANDCAMP: Never Twice
“What you have here is an astounding collection of mid century rhythm and blues with a smidgen of jazz, latin and rock and roll. With so many ingredients you would be forgiven for thinking that this is a dogs dinner of an LP but Waterhouse has his sound and style nailed down so tight that there's no danger of any misplaced steps.”

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ RUSSELL JEANES
"I apologise in advance for my recommendation. A younger version of me would laugh, and pour oceans of scorn. My friends will laugh and call me a hypocrite…"
FANDCAMP: The Hex
“Brilliant, deep, heartbreaking and beautiful - this record is an apt summary of a career cut far too short; covers the stylistic ground from Nilssonesque balladry (‘Dirty Jim’), garage psych-workouts (‘Broken Finger Blues’), to 70s soul (‘HZLWD’), all filtered through his unmistakable style and talent. RIP Richard.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CATHERINE DEGENNARO
“Engage with science again (unless you are already a scientist, in which case maybe get a pen pal or something).”
Fandcamp: budding ornithologists are weary of tired analogies
“I get lost in these carefully chosen words and sounds. A truly fantastic audio experience.”
EPS 098 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
After a wee hiatus, The Mix Tape Radio Show returns with the 98th episode. Things kick off with some Gia Margaret loveliness & before closing out with the always wonderful Tiny Ruins, we’ll go from Lagos to Long Beach, Benjamin Shaw to Dusty Springfield, and a bunch of stuff in between. Celebrate good times come on.
Fandcamp: Seems Unfair
“Most people won't ever write a single good song; Ellis has written two albums full of them in a year, and that seems unfair.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ELWOOD MERCY
"Try to see more of the world around you with your own eyes, and spend time with the people you love doing things that make you're mind and body happy."
FANDCAMP: Nephew in the Wild
“The best short story pop song writer around. One of my favorite albums of the year.”
