This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
"One of the best albums from MF Doom. You get a handful of legendary MCs doing their best on awesome prods, and you get an awesome album which is still as good today as when it came out.”
“There’s definitely something different about listening to an album all the way through, having the physical copy with J-card/liner notes to check out and learn about the artist, and knowing I’m supporting the artist more directly.”
The HI54 Monthly Sunday Mass Email for July 2020 was sent out to subscribed inboxes today. Not subscribed? Well, you can still read the newsletter + maybe if that sounds interesting it wouldn’t be the worst idea to sign-up for future monthly newsletters?

Episode 147 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘EVERYTHING LIKED IN: INSERT CURRENT YEAR’ - ft. Hannah Lee Thompson, R.A.P. Ferreira, Katie Von Schleicher, Megadead + a bunch more 2020-flavoured headphone goodness.
“All of these songs make having to stay inside constantly a whole lot better.”
“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.”
“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 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems pulled from the long-running HI54 blog series ‘FANDCAMP’ - ft. Kevin Devine, William Ryan Fritch, PHOX, Hello Shark + a bunch more Available-on-Bandcamp-flavoured headphone goodness (ps: Friday, July 3rd is ‘Buy On Bandcamp Day’ again).
“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.”
“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.”
