DBWS 2-29 Happy Happy Birthday To Me Ep. 2 with Mike Turner This time, we’re going even deeper into the story of HHBTM Vol. 1, the legendary compilation that captured a wildly creative moment at the brink of a legendary record label. Mike takes us inside the making of the comp—the bands, the friendships, the discoveries, the stories behind the songs, and what it was like building a label around a community of musicians who were creating some of the most exciting music happening anywhere. And, of course, we’re listening along the way. This episode features music from of Montreal, Elf Power, The Masters of the Hemisphere, The Minders, Marshmallow Coast, and more as Mike gives us the stories behind the artists and songs that helped make HHBTM Vol. 1 such a special snapshot of its time. It’s part oral history, part mixtape, and a full-on celebration of the beautiful interconnected world of independent music. So put on your headphones, dig through the record collection, and join us for another deep dive into the wonderfully weird world of Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records.
