Daily Mix - 2022-09-20

In addition to actual mix tapes, I like to set a minidisc to record and start a Roon Radio automated mix from a key track. I record over optical while working or doing something else. Sometimes they aren’t very interesting, but sometimes they go in unexpected directions. For more, see my list of all daily mix playlists.

Key Track: Mogwai - Ceiling Granny

This list is keyed off the best song from As the Love Continues, itself my favorite Mogwai release in years. From the noisy distorted guitars of Ceiling Granny it dives into other post-rock like Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Sigur Rós. This one tried several times to launch into 20-40 minute tracks which really weren’t appropriate for a mix, so I skipped those and cleaned up the breaks later. Some of the stuff on this is pretty weird, particularly Military Alphabet, Science Fair, and Another Clockwork Day.

Highlights: Ceiling Granny, Starálfur, Slowmo
