“great discovery - please make more music. Love the chill, folksy, in-the-woods vibe”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JOHN THAYER
"Essentially the big rudder is unable to turn as the force is too great, so the role of the trim tab is to make a smaller directional change which then allows the main rudder to turn. We're all trim tabs, we're all capable of turning society into a more progressive, compassionate direction."
HI54… GUEST MIX W/ TOM FROM FROG
“When Napster was a thing, I used it to collect these songs on my parent's computer. I played them loud and flung myself around the basement until dinner was ready. I can't claim to have been a part of a community that listened to this music in a group setting, so I guess thats what I want to do now…”

2 MINUTES OR LESS | #HI54MIXCDS
Sometimes you’re in a hurry and only have 2 minutes or less to get a song down your ears before you have to get back to work. Well, this playlist is chock-full of quick headphones fixes like that.
Fandcamp: WARM
“Love this new album from Jeff Tweedy. It has the melodic simplicity and catchiness of Uncle Tupelo and Wilco's early records, but with songwriting by a seasoned hand, someone who is emerging on the other side of middle age -- kids raised and out of the house, distractions receding, and existential questions front-and-center.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ ANNA TIVEL
"Try to get a bag that’s only half full, or else you run the risk of eating the whole thing at once and feeling quite ill, like a bottle of wine without the fun."
CHANGES | #HI54MIXTAPES
I made this mix tape around 2011, which was around the time I was quitting a stable market research job to head back over to Europe without any plan or career path. I guess one could make the argument that I’m still on the same bullshit all these years later.
HUMANANATOMY | #HI54MIXCDS
You’ll never really understand how your body works, but it’s important to be reminded about all the parts so you don’t lose touch with the fact that, for the most part, your body does work. And one can only listen to ‘Head & Shoulders, Knees & Toes. Knees. And. Toes’ so many times.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ JEFFREY SILVERSTEIN
"‘What Light’ off of Wilco’s Sky Blue Sky album sums it up best. Tweedy sings, “If you feel like singing a song, and you want other people to sing along, just sing what you feel, don’t let anyone say it’s wrong.”"
