This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
“I have 3 little nieces. They are currently 12, 11 and 8. This is a playlist I keep updated with songs I think / hope they might like, that I also like. So, yeah, it is made for a very niche audience… but if you like the sounds of a non-bloke heavy mix, you might also dig it in your headphones too.”
Episode 193 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems pulled from the ongoing blahg series ‘Fandcamp’ - ft. Deca, SAULT, Tele Novella, Nick Shoulders + a bunch more Available-on-Bandcamp-flavoured headphone goodness (ps: this Friday, June 18th Bandcamp is donating 100% of their share of sales to NAACP Legal Defense Fund to support racial justice, equality, and change).
“We can now learn how to change our oil, or code, or play guitar for (almost)free and build community far and wide. It allows anyone to be seen for making comedy videos, or showcasing their music to a massive audience, or spreading their personal experiences and helping others empathize. It can really be used to bring humanity together... or tear us apart.”
“An intention to elevate the human spirt, feel notes held like the hands of someone you love. Warmth and compassion distilled into this little album, listen to the spit of human connectivity.”
A house party is a special breed. Usually the sound is selected by an amateur committee of a real mixed bag of tastes. If you're not too careful, the music can get extra cheesy and lame and things get sloppy way too fast. It can also get too cool for school and no fun. It's a fine line. This mix is made with those two worries in mind.

“Move to another country (preferably one that uses a different primary language than your own) for an extended amount of time. Sounds crazy, I know! But the benefits and life-enriching possibilities are endless. And it may be more do-able than you think.”
Here's the 18th instalment of the bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 95-tracks that have been rated as 'Mix Tape Radio approved' and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.

“We loved watching it in the original French, with subtitles so that we could feel our French was improving. You’ll start talking around the breakfast table in hushed French accents as if you are spies.”
“As a Casio aficionado, I highly recommend this sales video from 1987. Using a variety of poignant metaphors, it explains my favorite cutting edge features. The video is a stunning example of customer service and receives bonus points for slick costuming and bold interior design choices.”
Episode 190 of The Mix Tape Radio Show features 8 gems shuffled out of the ongoing HI54 Mix CD ‘ONTARIO’ - ft. The Tragically Hip, Julie Arsenault, dan edmonds, Deux Trois + a bunch more ontario-flavoured headphone goodness.
