There was a time where I primarily used The Discover Tab as a mixtape delivery service. Sure, I had a lot more time on my hands then, but it was still a good way to keep myself up-to-date on new music, sprinkle some old favourites in there, and pass it along to the internet as if I was launching a cassette tape into the air and hoping it landed on some friendly ears.
I’ve been behind on episodes of my audio dispatch for a little while and the mood hasn’t struck me to write anything of substantial weight. I’ve been trying to share things here and there over on Twitter, so if you’re not following there now is a good time to go check that out.
Today I decided to circle-back on an older, long-untitled mix and add some more tracks to wrap it up. I was glad I did, because I ended up stumbling on some more 2020 releases that I need to spend time with. Here’s some stray thoughts:
This Low Hummer track came from an algorithmic recommendation in the “Recommended Songs” section underneath my playlist. I’m a staunch supporter of human-recommendations-over-algorithms, but hey whatever works. Not sure if there’s an LP on the horizon, but their singles are out via Dance to the Radio.
I dug Martha Ffion’s album Sunday Best but somehow hadn’t heard Nights to Forget yet? Ridiculous, but I’m going to fix that ASAP.
This Cagework album Exercise in Conflict caught my ear today as well via the “Recommended Songs” avenue. It’s sounding right up my alley so I am gonna head over to Bandcamp for sure to check that one out.
