Inspired by her example, I’m still not committed enough to haul my carcass back onto old school radio - but thankfully there’s 8Tracks, where I’ve posted a number of mixes under the Hedonist Jive nom de plume. My newest is called, “FINE YOUNG MAN, DOING SO WELL”, with title taken from a Charles Albright song that’s part of the set. All tracks come from 2011, most from the back half of the year. This too you can listen to on the web and via the 8TRACKS apps on iPhone and Android. You’ll find that most tracks fit in a loose ghetto of low-fidelity pop, noise and sub-underground independent whatever. I’m predicting these’ll be your new favorite songs in about 45 minutes.
