This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
All in MIXES
Every year I do a ‘20X Current Year’ Spotify playlist at the end of the year, but since 20X18 = 360 I figured I better come up with some more manageable math for those who like their end of year headphone sampling to be a little more condensed. So here is SIDE B of the 2X18 mix tapes.

EPISODE 075 kicks off with Ugly Cassanova (and yes, there is a perfect explanation for why it sounds like Modest Mouse), and before things close out with a new song from Califone, you'll hear some great tunes from The Cave Singers, Bert Jansch, Lowpines, and a bunch more good stuff.
There are a lot of songs written about Carolines. To be honest, the amount feels disproportionate to the amount of actual Carolines I have met in real life. But some names just roll off the tongue better than others I guess.
“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…”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for December 2018.
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.
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.
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.
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for November 2018.
There's some down-in-the-dumps-whilst-down-at-the-bus-station vibes. There’s a tune about the hazards of being around people who wear capes. The dark lord will be summoned and we take a little journey through the past. So press play and soundtrack a small part of your day.
Since the year in question is 2013, and since 20X13 = 260, this yearly summary playlist consists of 260 nice tunes released in the year 2013. From 260 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
