MTR 142 | BLACK LIVES MATTER | THE MIX TAPE RADIO SHOW

I was contemplating whether I should do a mix this week. Not because I think I have a big enough platform where it really matters what I do, but more because the vital Black Lives Matter movement happening right now, a movement which is about so much more than just fighting back against the horrific systemic racism/fascism that sometimes gets captured on camera, it feels like that movement is at a new height of momentum & strength and posting about anything else only seems to take fuel away from a fire that is important to keep burning strong.

But, since I work thru a lot of my thoughts & emotions by listening to music and putting together mixes, I’ve been spending most of my headphone time this week with a lot more black voices than my folky/americana white dude tendencies usually reach for, and I feel like / hope I ended up with a mix that doesn’t distract from the moment.
