This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
“If you want to be the kind of person at the dinner party who has an opinion on whether THIS IS THE WORST ALBUM EVER or not… you gotta put in the work & listen to it first. The whole thing. And then you have to get invited to a dinner party.”
“Martin is among a handful of rustic modern classical artists out there, unafraid of a less polished sound, providing a sort of a barrel-aged timbre to his instrumentation. More so, his music makes my heart swell like few others do!”
"Go for walks. Eat that cake in the middle of the night. Be kind towards others but mostly be kind to yourself. Use less plastic. Do everything with love, for what is done with love is well done."
“In this modern day life, so often driven by the harshness of striving and grasping, Luluc's generous yielding to time, awareness, longing, and a tender melancholy heart, connects the listener to a state of earthy grace and unfettered simplicity. My best find in a long, long time.”
“Holy shit. For a few reasons. First, WRF it seems can't stop making lush beautiful music. It's in his blood and it's a joy to listen to. The reworked songs here are awesome. Second, the packaging for the Private Reserve edition might be the most opulent CD I own.”
“I think everyone should sway their hips every morning when they wake up. Especially if they’re often stressed out (or in the moment they are stressed out). Or if they feel very old when they wake up in the morning.”
“I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that this album dropped at the right time for me. It somehow seems strangely familiar and yet different. Oberst and Bridgers work so well together.”
EPISODE 059 kicks off with Nathaniel & his night sweating affliction, and before Jason Isbell waves the final flag, you’ll hear tracks from Sharon Van Etten, Yo La Tengo, Advance Base, Frog and a bunch more good stuff. So grab the headphones and find the play button.
Since the year in question is 2014, and since 20X14 = 280, this yearly summary playlist consists of 280 nice tunes released in the year 2014. From 280 different artists. Reshuffled on the regular for repeat shuffles. You can’t argue with that math.
"Boxing, the training part, not necessarily the fighting part, I don't know anything about the fighting part, is incredibly profound. A wonderful surprise for the nervous system!"
“A charmingly dark slice of post-ambient pop. Pat Moon strikes a chord with your soul from the first tracks; "Feel You", "Show Me A Sign", and final song, "Enter My Mind" being the strongest songs. This record takes me to a dreamy little island on a crisp morning as the sun is about to rise.”
The Soundcloud playlist for this month’s approved Submithub submissions is now up & running for January 2019.
