FANDCAMP: Stay Home
“All of these songs make having to stay inside constantly a whole lot better.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MERRY CHRISTMAS
“We should all appreciate the incredible moon in our orbit, a friend that returns in form — if the clouds allow — every 29 days; does not float away; does not get too close; and stays right where we can just see, wonder, and enjoy.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ TIM WILDS
“Everything is always in motion, coming and going, be it what we see, hear, smell, taste or feel, and our thoughts are the same. Learning to let them come and go and not identifying with them so much has been hugely beneficial to me and to many other people before me.”
EPISODE 146 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

FANDCAMP: jen
“From the first second I heard this album I was hooked, every song is terrific. I've already bought your cassette, after hearing it only yesterday and I don't even own a cassette player! If that doesn't say something, then I don't know what does.”
FANDCAMP: Talk - Action = Zero: A Compilation Benefitting Black Lives Matter
“Great cause of course, but a record well worth your dollars regardless. Large and disparate collection incorporating many music styles and genres, and every track seems to have a fair amount of merit.”
SubmitCloud | June 2020
A monthly playlist for the Soundcloud submissions that get approved on Submithub for a HI54 Mix CD feature during the month of June 2020.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ MATTHEW FREDERICK
“I’m a big fan of obsolete technology in general, and much like the satisfying whirl of a cassette, or the warming crackle of a record, I’ve really missed the thump and clatter of an old typewriter.”
EPISODE 145 | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW
Episode 145 of The Mix Tape Radio Show was inspired by the important Black Lives Matter movement happening right now and features A Tribe Called Quest, SAULT, J. B. Lenoir, Solange + more.
FANDCAMP: Marlowe
“L'Orange's sampled vaudeville and Solemn Brigham's jettisoning lyrics make for an ambitious and striking album. Each track is unique, yet come together into the story of the whole. It's both comedic and thought provoking, and every verse feels like a brushstroke filling in an artist's magnum opus.”
