Movie of the Year: Best of 2021 – Mix Tape
Best of the Year:
2021 Mix Tape
Will our 2021 mix tape change how music is appreciated?
Scientists will refer to 2021 as the Great Time of Music and Song. Experts agree bands like Sleigh Bells and Low have changed everything for rock, while rap and hip-hop took quantum leaps forward with amazing albums from Tyler, The Creator, Little Simz, and Arlo Parks. Can we capture this magical time in music through only the power of mix tape? Listen now and see for yourself!
Mix tapes are the single greatest invention in the history of humanity and, frankly, it is not very close. But each mix tape must be carefully crafted. It needs a thesis, a theme, a plot almost. Planning and forethought are the twin watchwords when it comes to the fine art of the mix tape. However, we are bad at those things. Instead of planning or forethought we opted to just sorta chuck a playlist together and hope it captures the spirt of 2021.
And what was 2021 if not 2020 persisting? Covid was still big, greed was still religion, and those two Democrats were still Republicans. Modern times are about celebrating the fact that everyone gets to enjoy the apocalypse in whatever way they see most fitting. We capture that spirit by doing whatever we feel like with this playlist and then giving ourselves a lot of credit for it.
2021 was a magical time full of promise and wonder and we have to go back. However, we cannot. We can only move forward. Because we are podcasters, and bravely moving into the future is all we know how to do. All of that, and somehow more, on an all-new Movie of the Year!
