“A classic piece of electronic music, still sounds fresh and haunting after all these years.”
This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ CLEA ANAÏS
“I think everyone should learn to care for something, a plant, a pet, or another human being.. something to help you look outside yourself and get perspective on your placement in life.”
FANDCAMP: Julius
“Her tone, her cadence, the way she articulates the sound of the words is captivating. I think of Violeta Parra (!!!), Vashti Bunyan, Aldous Harding, Joni Mitchell when listening to her.”
SOUTH OF AMERICA | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
A mix of a bunch of great music coming out ‘South of America’ (and for playlist purposes this includes Mexico and all the countries in Central America, South America and the Caribbean). So pack some loose, breathable fabrics and go grab the headphones.
EH CANADA | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
Canada gets a lot of stick for our overt niceness, being obsessed with hockey and a bunch of other ‘simple folk’ stereotypes—but people often forget that in between the maple syrup free-basing we do to distract from our colonial past/present, we also make a lot of really good music. This playlist highlights some of it, from coast to unceded coast.
FANDCAMP: Lonesome Weary Blues
“What a happy surprise to have new music from Daniel Bachman to start the year! Joyful tunes.”
(Actually) GONE PAINTIN' | JUNE 2022
Metaphorically going ‘Gone Fishin’ ironically turned into literally going Gone Paintin’ at a location that’d be perfect for actually going fishing. Ain’t that just the way :)
(Mostly) GONE FISHIN' | June 2022
In order to free up some extra time & headspace to try and figure out what kind of changes I need to make to multiple websites/ideas, I’m putting a few more recurring blog tasks on pause. Or, as Joe Pesci (presumably) said to Danny Glover in the 1997 film Gone Fishin’: “It’s time to go gone fishin’!”
FANDCAMP: Earth Trip
“Earth Trip brings us another round of country-fried cosmos layered in brooding bass, dreamy slide and twangy jam. Every bit as compelling as Summerlong was last summer.”
OPEN ROAD | #HI54MIXCDS ON MOUN.TOWN/FM
“If you have to drive any further than a few KMs (or miles for y’all south of the border, eh), you're gonna want to have a good mix for a little dashboard drumming and open window karaoke running man.”
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/ DREW FITCHETTE
“My wife Amy has encouraged the practice of either listing 5 things I’m grateful for, or asking what the rose and thorn of each day is. I think any sort of mindfulness exercise would be what I suggest to folks in these high speed times.”
FANDCAMP: Dawn
“My first exposure to Mount Eerie, didn't realize how often I would come back to the catharsis, and now the nostalgia of the simple worries from the before.”
