RandoMax Radio, my ongoing side project that reaches its fiftieth episode this month, has been gone for way too long. As I explained in the Maxtape post from a couple of weeks ago, it just got too easy for me to not put these together, just like how it gets too easy to not do anything when you get so quickly acclimated to a lifestyle that doesn’t include creative endeavors. This is why you must always continue working, is what the capitalist version of Max would tell you if everything weren’t already bullshit. We still have RandoMax Radio, however, and its “shuffle”-esque mix of sixteen tracks from my collection that both don’t go together and work extremely well in tandem with one another. Multiple musical genres are represented, as usual, including hip hop, which isn’t just the main focus of this blog but also the most maligned of categories, likely because of racist attitudes toward things some people don’t understand, but witness for yourselves how well our chosen culture mixes with other stuff that has no problem garnering airplay anywhere. I’m tired, so this paragraph has lost its focus, but just know that I’m happy to bring these back and I appreciate all of you who were looking forward to hearing another slice of songs from my phone.
As per previous rules, the tracklist will be revealed at a later date, since nothing’s changed otherwise. I still think going in blind is the best medicine here, by the way.

The artists involved receive royalties every time you listen, so you can support their work by pressing 'play' and telling your friends to do the same. Share/repost this mix across your socials, and while you're at it, jump over to the Patreon and secure your spot to support the written word, as the posts over there have been going ahead full steam while this blog just kind of existed. Every little bit helps keep these projects alive and sustainable, and I am grateful for everyone for coming back consistently.
Enjoy!
-Max
