This isn’t a competition. It’s a collaboration.

Here's the 21st instalment of the bi-weekly Mixcloud series where I go back to the iTunes organizational system I had setup when I used to run a 24/7 internet radio station, and then I shuffle up a selection of 95-tracks that have been rated as 'Mix Tape Radio approved' and put together an 18-track HI54 Mixed CD.
“This wonderful and moving album flatters the growing up sadness (you might have wanted to skip) but will make you better as a human being.”
Since my iPhone battery decided to go dead, and since my 3 nieces were coming for a mountain town visit for the last week of June, I decided to take a ‘mostly offline’ break. BUT… since I had some “lost episodes” in the pocket, I scheduled some Mixcloud uploads for the usual Monday & Thursday mixes. So here’s MTR EPS 032 (the final lost one).
“Operatic, tempestuous, and impassioned. Brimming with power and emotion. The aural equivalent of exorcising a past lover (with the help of a massive string section). AOTY.”
“This album gets a lot of things right. It is beautifully written, and Olsen's vocal delivery is amazing of course, but what I love the most about it is how naturally it manages to be both heavy and cheerful; slow and upbeat. I reckon this will be on my playlist for quite some time.”
