Has it been a week already? Indeed.

In this second installment of Quickly, I went ahead picked some tracks that have, just about, no correlation with last week’s theme. Whereas the last one was all sappy and pretty, this one is…not: concrete, crabgrass, rusted steel. More or less fuck you music which has always been my music genre of choice. The last track tidies everything up with a recitation of the landlord’s note to the Minutemen about a shower. Man, those guys are great.

It runs 21:29

• U2 (dedicated to M. Goard)
• NIN (to tie up with last week)
• This Heat
• Fugazi
• Converge
• Helmet
• Minutemen

Hello my internet friend. How have you been?

Maybe I should start a weekly series of mixes. Maybe that way you’ll have a reason to come back to this thing. Maybe I’ll also get more practice figuring out Traktor. And also, maybe have a reason to find more music that isn’t the Deftones (AWESOME!!) or Aphex Twin (GENIUS!!) to put in my mixes…

Well, why the hell not? Here’s the first installment:

• U.N.P.O.C
• Guided By Voices
• Iron & Wine
• Robert Johnson
• Band Of Horses
• Peter Bjorn & John
• Neil Young
• Meat Puppets
• NIN

“Alright boys, let’s get way out there….”
It runs 27:34 glorious minutes.

It’s romantic, acoustic and lazy. I’m guessing it’ll make for a good make-out session soundtrack given that you are surrounded by wild grass and late afternoon sunshine…Maybe an old diesel Ford pick-up to boot. Hmm… that probably has nothing in common with the music. Just something I’d like to be in the middle of at the moment.

I love you, beer.
