THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW continued with its bi-weekly-ness before taking a break from its bi-weekly-ness and EPISODE 82 is another great collection of tunes to stick in your headphones. As always, you can stream it on MIXCLOUD + there is this ongoing Spotify playlist of all the songs ever played on the show & you can find all the songs that were featured here. New episode coming next week and the bi-weekly schedule will get back to its bi-weekly-ness.

Watched The Revenant the other day and I couldn't help thinking that the script could have used a few "SERIOUSLY?!" or "OH… COME ON!" lines for Leo's character. Especially after his horse runs off the cliff and he's lying in the snow (at the very least, an "I'm too old for this shit" line when he is crawling into the carcass of said dead horse would have been perfect). Really dropped the ball there Hollywood, you could have easily gave The Martian a run for best "comedy".

There are 2 more 'HIGHLY RECOMMENDED W/' posts to check out since we last newslettered… so get your clicking finger ready and go check out all the things that JAMIE (AUDIO ANTIHERO) and DANNY BATEMAN (FROG) like and think you should like too. Lots of good stuff in both, as is the tradition with this weekly feature.

Over the last 2 weeks I've seen a lot of family and friends that I haven't seen in a long time. During this time, I didn't spend much time on the internet. Which is making it tricky trying to put together 10 things you should check out. So I'm just gonna cheat and combine 6 + 7 and recommend you get in touch with someone you haven't talked to in awhile. And I'll also share with you this insightful moment my 4 year old niece shared with me from a party she recently attended: "Why would they call it a hot dog party if there was only burgers there?!"

Back at the start of September I sat down with all the Fandcamp albums that were featured in August and put together a Playmoss mix. Go give that a listen if you like listening to things.

I'm not sure if you noticed, but the 24/7 Mix Tape Radio internet radio station got shut down earlier this week because it did not reach that 130 listener hours per day bollocks. Before you start writing your member of parliament, I started the station up again (with a slightly different name). Because I run on a tank of denial that I like to think is always half full. Listen links are here, so listen often and tell your mom to do the same. We've got 9 months to get to that 130 listener hours, or it'll get shut down again ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Just like I did in the previous newsletters, I will now try to go more specific than just including links to my Spotify playlists + my radio station + my Bandcamp collection + my radio show + ETCing and try and point my finger in the direction of the one 'gun to the head, you can only pick one' musical recommendation from the last 2 weeks: ummm… my good friend Lieven (aka A SINGER OF SONGS) just put out a new album. He even put out a new t-shirt. I have one in my headphones and the other in the mail. You should do the same.
