Today is April 5th, which, in some parts of the world, is also known as ‘Hi! It’s 5/4 Day!’ — and to “celebrate” this made-up holiday, I spent some time blogging with a one-eyed cat named Maple, which includes a ‘Hi! Here’s FIVE things FOR…’ on the topic of better programming our brains for dealing with late-stage capitalism grifters + other high 5/4 brain dumpings.

IRISH STEW | #HI54MIXCDS on MOUN.TOWN/FM
A hearty mix of a bunch of great music coming out of Ireland (and for playlist purposes + my general lack of history, this includes Northern Ireland too). So go grab yourself a bowl, because there's a tasty collection of headphone ingredients in here.
