Some great tunes, some great artists, and a relatively relaxed mixtape vibe to start your week.
I say relatively because Silversun Pickups start the tape with their opening track from their dark and haunting new album.
Windser, Ark Patrol, and Tim Atlas cover up the darkness with more chill. And lastly, Djo, or for those who have done their research, “It’s that guy!!??” DYOR. Hehe.
Have a good week.
Welcome to the world’s shitshow, 2022! On the most recent All-In pod, my favorite podcast, David Sacks made a comment I hadn’t heard yet: This global COVID crisis may be the biggest event of our lifetimes and may be the biggest event since World War II.
In essence, it’s been a war of many sorts, only one being the deadly virus that’s killed millions. But at some point, we’re going to get around the bend of this crap. I think 2022 is the year we turn.
So let’s get back to one of the biggest cures of all of our ills: MUSIC.
Lots of random stuff on this week’s mixtape, but the VIP is Bando, a new rapper from Texas that I discovered on one of this week’s tracks, “Payday”, with my favorite, Isaiah Rashad. This guy’s got bars, great beats, and he’s got a presence. He’s missing a unique voice like all the greats have, but he’s still got crazy talent. Keep an eye on this guy.
I heard Windser on a SiriusXM channel and loved the track. Gave me some Real Estate-y vibes.
Lucius and The Weeknd bring their catchiness, and lastly, Father John Misty released his first single to his new album. I like the track, and we’ll see what he’s got in store for the album. I’ve gone through waves with Misty, and right now, I’m not all that excited about him, but he’s got the talent to prove me wrong.
Have a great week all.
