“Rest In Peace, David. You left a hell of an impression on this earth and your music and poetry will live on.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ BROKEN SHOULDER
“I am effectively giving this recommendation to myself. Get obsessed with to-do lists, but don’t get too obsessed. They really help me get stuff done instead of just sitting around doing nothing, but they do tend to take over my life a little and possibly contribute to an underlying feeling of anxiety.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 19, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — but this week’s featured shuffle update is for the ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN <insert current year>’ playlist that I keep stocked with every track from 2019 that’s both made it into my headphones so far + got me going “I like this”.
EPISODE 105 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 105 kicks off with Matt Dorrien feeling lost & before things close out with Evan Wright thinking that something might be wrong hear, you’ll hear artists like Young Jesus and Kiraiyzu, you’ll go from a mood to finer feelings and there’ll be a full moon lullaby for you & me.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TUMMYACHE
“I would recommend finding something that you enjoy outside of your career or passion. For example, I reached a point where everything in my life revolved around music. So I’ve picked up some hobbies, like playing basketball, and watching Netflix, and cooking, etc. Being a whole person, not just pieces of one.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 12, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — but this week’s featured shuffle update is for the ‘NIEHCES’ playlist I keep going for my 3 little nieces (who just so happened to come hang with me in the mountains all last week).
FANDCAMP: Well, Then, I'll Go To Hell
“You say there's an album where Joshua James covers Modest Mouse? Ok, I'm listening (literally).”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ NON-FUNCTIONAL HARMONY
“Be more sceptical. Not cynical (admittedly that's a tricky line to walk), but demand a reasonable standard of evidence for everything, be it scientific, social, personal, or political.”
FANDCAMP: Thought Rock Fish Scale
“Always feel like I'm the only person in the room when I'm listening to Nap Eyes. I've a feeling some gigs of theirs may be like that too; back room of a cafe type stuff, for the fortunate few to stumble on. That's how I fantasize about seeing them anyway.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DEAN MANNING
“Swimming. All year round. Summer in the sea or a lake. Winter is trickier if you’re holed up in a mountainous snow but for the most part there’s a heated community pool nearby. I recommend 3 mornings a week. This will make amends for whatever else you do.”
SHUFFLE UPDATE: August 5, 2019
Another SHUFFLE UP’D EIGHT has been pulled — but this week’s featured shuffle update is for the ‘WHEN I SAID I LIKED “COUNTRY” MUSIC’ playlist (which just so happens to be an ongoing shuffle of 95 ‘proper country’ tracks from — well, according to one guys tastes/preferences).
HI54… GUEST MIX W/ DANNY FROM FROG
“I think the reason why it sounds so good today is because the 70s were kind of a bummer time for the US with Nixon and the economy and such, and this music is just unbridled optimism despite all that.”
