“This record makes room for both catchy jams and sound experiments, in perfect harmony.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ FREDERICK THE YOUNGER
“I feel so much more settled and clear-headed when I start the day off meditating. I’m very aware of how old I sound when I write this."
FANDCAMP: BURNER
“If you are a fan of dirty and raw punk n‘ roll, the stuff that sounds like it has just been freshly scraped off the floor of a garage, you'd be hard pressed to find a better album from 2012 than this one.”
HI54… GUEST MIX W/ LAUREN FROM THE GREY ESTATES
This guest mix (and accompanying words) came via Lauren Rearick from The Grey Estates (everybody’s favourite purple powered music blog) near the end of 2017.
Fandcamp: Nostrum Grocers
“Running off with big bags of nostrum groceries, I accept the bitter handmade medicine, sweetened by the most interesting mixes I've ever heard, diligently laboring to peel every layer of each rich soundscape's tapestry.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ SEB WESTCOTT
"Start asking interesting questions to your colleagues (and to make it even more fun you can demand that they answer immediately without thinking)"
20X18 | 360 TUNES FROM 2018
Since the year was 2018, and since 20X18 = 360, this massive end of year playlist consists of 360 ace tunes released in the year 2018 (from 360 different artists/projects). I realize that’s a lot of music to take in, but the math is the math and I’ve been doing this bit too long to stop now.
2X18 - SIDE B | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
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.

HI54LO5: MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS
“Were airports really this zen back in the 70s? Every time I fly it feels more like Alabama's “I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)” is stuck on loop.”
EPISODE 075 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
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.
