Musicophilia Blog (by that guy who did '1981') Updates Thread

Very happy with how my year-end 2018 mix came together--got almost all my favorites from the year in there, but really maintained a vibe (which meant disqualifying a few things that were really out of sync):

'The Fire'

Last mix of the year, and I have to say, it really came together. Focused on the most moving hip-hop I've encountered the last few years (but with touches of jazz, R&B, electronics, and chamber compositions):

As a small way to get people hearing and supporting working artists (when Covid is going to deeply hurt them):

Running a little drawing on Twitter, to buy 10 albums by contemporary musicians from Bandcamp for people who participate:

that's a nice thing! can i ask what the route is for dl from mixcloud anymore? i have and enjoy several mixcloud comps from you and others, and try as i might i cannot see how to do this anymore. there are "mixcloud downloaders" by the score out there, but i do not recall going away from the site to do that in past years.

You aren't supposed to be able to dl from Mixcloud - Musicophilia has a separate dl link, same as my site.

Wordpress tells me today is the 12 year anniversary of Musicophilia! A different world indeed when it began...

I'd say the last 3 years have been the blog's best--some of the best sets/collections (sequel series to the '1981' set that started it all, for 1979 and 1980; the 28-mix Library box set that had been gestating since before I started the blog; the four-mix 'Afrominimalism' set; the collected 'Le Mond du Funk' set thus far covering funk-related music from 1968-1985) and my favorite ongoing series ever (the 'Old Souls' series of 15 mixes and counting, covering the golden era of music by Black artists of the last five years) and lots of one-offs and shorter series that I think are the best mixes for flow and selection I've ever done.

Good time to dive in, if you were a listener back in the day, or if you never checked it out.

If you should feel like following Musicophilia on Twitter (where I first post mixes):

Today is the 12 year anniversary of Musicophilia. I'd honestly say the last few years have been its best--because music has been so essential to keeping hope.https://t.co/cGFrwyRNVK

Twelve years on, thanks again for 1981, always appreciate it

congrats, as always a huge fan

Thanks! I'd probably have been making mixes even if I'd never thought of the blog, but it's a real pleasure to share the joy and uplift that music brings me.

I'm curious:

Big question: have Musicophilia mixes or links I've posted via Twitter ever lead to you buying any music/merch?

If not: now is *the* time: https://t.co/K9lA2dDIe9

If so, I'd love to know who : )

Looks like I haven't updated this thread since 2019, so there've been a *lot* of mixes since then, worth checking out if you need some human-crafted mixes rather than robot-generated playlists...

https://musicophilia.wordpress.com/

really like this!

Very glad to hear it! Thanks!

I like the way this mix crosses different eras in search of that vibe and sound.

Me too, Giraffe! I often mix specific periods, but these sorts of mixes seeking timelessness as a central quality lend themselves to crossing decades.

This one was on a similar wavelength, and even more temporally eclectic:
