Liner notes: For the 100th Mixtape Monday, I wanted to do something at least a little special — something that might serve as a good summation of my taste. So, I sat down, did some thinking and listening and organizing, and came up with my TOP FIFTY (50) ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. It’s not that exciting of a list (and shifts constantly), but here they are — fifty tracks in alphabetical order by artist. Obviously these folks have made many an appearance on Mixtape Monday, so I strove to select fresh tracks. Special shout outs to three artists who would’ve made the mixtape but aren’t on Spotify: Joanna Newsom, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young.
Mixtape Monday Marginalia: There are now two compendium posts on the Mixtape Monday website. One links the first 99 mixtapes with a short descriptive blurb for each, which I recommend bookmarking for easy perusal and listening! The other compiles all of the “best of” mixtapes so far. Please enjoy! Thanks for tuning in, and I’ll see y’all in 2024.
