Some circuitous route led me back to the excellent Blogariddims series that came out in what I reckon was the late 00s. The ones I remember were Woebot's jazz one (gateway to Gil Evans iirc) and the Grievous Angel one. The blog posts have vanished from what I can make out, but the mixes are preserved on Mixcloud.https://www.mixcloud.com/blogariddims/

Amazing this was preserved. I did #6, which is funny given I hadn't started my Musicophilia mix yet (began in 2008). I wish I could find whoever did this archive on Mixcloud, and see if they have mix in a decent quality file--I ended up with only a 128kbps mp3, sadly.

i'm almost more curious about the lifestories of current host(esse)s of extant places like this https://ezhevika.blogspot.com/(particularly what's to be gained in 2024 (if ever?) by continuing to rip and post out-of-print albums?) than i am eager to hear the actual music
