2020 End of Year Mixtapes

[ridleybradout]

Hey RMers!

Like many I've been largely absent this year for obvious reasons, but I thought I'd drop in to kick start the 2020 playlist thread.

Not many new artists discovered this year, though I did get onto bdrmm late thanks to Higgs
My taste is a bit more poppy than most of you, but I hope you enjoy this mix anyway - as always I took great pride in the sequencing
I wouldn't say it has a COVID theme as such, but there are a few songs here that definitely fit the soundtrack for this year from hell.

Up yours 2020!

Thanks Brad. I'm pretty poppy too so I'm sure I'll enjoy this. Btw, I love your 2020 logo, it's perfect.
I guess I'll have to join spotify if I want to hear the others...nah.

Grandma doone.

A few mixtapes i have done this year:

Gone Baby Gone: Some chill, sad, obscure songs about being dumped, left out of something, near death. It goes from Bob Dylan´s Not Dark Yet to Lanegan´s Last One In The World closing with Phoebe Bridgers´s I Know The End.

Some Groove: A mostly 90s list of hip hop obscurities, with some new grooving songs, featuring 7 Days Of Funk, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Rza, Wu Tang, Kali Uchis, Delinquent Habits, Aska Matsumiya and more.

Grandma doone.

Woah woah woah! I'm feeling attacked here!

(Just quietly I'm low key impressed on your emoji use though - )

[Brett]

Excellent. I've been collecting songs throughout the year that I've felt would go well in a 2020 playlist. Now I've got to go through the culling and sequencing part. I think I'm gonna end up with one regular mix and then a secondary collection that has longer pieces that would slow down the main mix. I look forward to seeing what everyone else brings to the table.

Heya doone!

I’d love to take credit for that logo but I got it from a Facebook t-shirt ad

What did you think of Powderfinger’s ‘Unreleased’ album?

[Higgs]

doone has asked me to answer that one for her Brad.

She loves "Day By Day" and cant quite believe it was left off the original album - it's a cracker. "Daybreak" is good too, but the rest of the album, whilst containing some interesting musical ideas and never becoming "boring" per se, could just as easily have been left unreleased.

[LetMeSleep]

Thanks for the mix Brad. I’ll be checking out the Muzz, bdrmm and Something For Kate.

I forgot about the Powderfinger release too.

[Higgs]

I think 2020 was a good year for albums more than it was a good year for singles. Maybe it was the extended home-based down time that played into that a bit - we all found ourselves with more time at our homes and where better to consume albums in their entirety?

My mix this year was meant to be 2 discs but I kinda fucked that up. The track change at 11 to 12 might be a little rough...The mix is split in 4 sections:

- 80's Post Punk Revival
- Indie/Americana/Pop
- Groovier Tunes
- A Quiet Finish

Some Songs From 2020 (320) (rar)

Separate zip download for doone who can never get my rar files to work



01 The Wants - The Motor
02 Bdrmm - Happy
03 RVG - I Used to Love You
04 Fontaine's DC - Televised Mind
05 Nation of Language - Rush & Fever
06 Powderfinger - Day by Day
07 Samantha Crain - Pastime
08 Soccer Mommy - Bloodstream
09 Surfjan Stevens - Video Game
10 Georgia Maq - Cold Summer
11 Jerry Joseph - Dead Confederate
12 The Avalanches - Born to Lose
13 Mildlife - Memory Palace
14 A Certain Ratio - Get a Grip
15 Smoke Fairies - Chocolate Rabbit
