Mittwoch Mixes - Summer Vibes

For this week's Mittwoch Mixes, here are three mixes of Summer Vibes. The first mix, An Unfamiliar Line, is a reworking of a mix CD I made back in the 2010's, when CDs were still a thing. With the world continuing to be a flaming dumpster full of stinking trash giving off acrid smoke, going back and working on these three mixes was a pleasant distraction.

All three mixes feel very 'summery' to me, which probably will reveal my idiosyncratic sense of the season.

Mittwoch Mixes - Satan & Sadness

I've neglected this blog and publishing mixes for a while as the rough beast of 2022 has slouched on. Still, I have muddled on with mixes, plucking away at my spreadsheet where I compile them. At current count I have two dozen or so that I've been working on, with two or three mostly ready and just in need of sequencing, finalizing the track list or making an image for.

These two mixes have been occupying me for a while, so it was time for them to be let loose.

Mittwoch Mix - 2021 AotY Overflow

While I’ve already provided my Idiosyncratic Top 25 Albums of 2021, here are thirteen more that just missed the cut—some because they are soundtracks, reissues or EPs, but all are great albums but just didn’t quite make my top 25.

 

The top gross of albums I listened to in 2021, upon which many of these albums feature.

An Idiosyncratic Ranking of the Top 25 Albums of 2021

 

It is again that time of year when post my idiosyncratic Top 25 albums of the year...

According to last.fm, where I track most (but not all) of my listening, I listened to 16,297 tracks and 1,699 different artists in 2021 alone. Albums are harder to track on last.fm if they have multiple artists, but I easily listened to over 800 different albums...

68% of those over 16 thousand track were new to 2021, so picking out 25 albums, even of just what was released in 2021 and not just new to me in 2021 was tough, but here are my current top 25 of 2021...

You can find a mixcloud mix with a sample track from each album here.
