I wonder if I’ll get as many notes/follows from this as from the first one. I’d be lying if I pretended that wouldn’t make me feel all warm and happy.

MFF#12 (anti-)folk(-punk) Part II

As promised, here is a sequel to the Anti-Folk/Folk-Punk I originally posted months ago. Lots of people really liked it, so hopefully they will like this one too! It has some bands I forgot to include on that one, as well as other great songs by some of the same bands. Basically it is a load of different subgenres of folk stuff, with one or two songs that are just acoustic thrown in. And one song that is probably best described as Acoustic Screamo.

1. Jim Lockey and the Solemn Sun - Warriors
2. Against Me! - We Laugh at Danger (And Break all the Rules)
3. Apologies, I Have None - 100 Club
4. Defiance, Ohio - Sweet Dudes and Sweet Ladies

7. Husker Du - Never Talking To You Again
8. Jack Goodlet - Believe Me Alone
9. The Microphones - I Felt Your Shape
10. Les Mamelons - Halloween
11. Elliott Smith - Needle In The Hay
12. Crywank - Welcome to Castle Irwell

MFF#11 Whenever I Smell Asphalt

Rob complained about the blurry black and white lomo shots, and suggested that I crop something to album art shape instead. How’s this, Rob?

Anyway, this is the first mix I’ve made just for this blog. Also very possibly the first mix I’ve managed to make where I’ve more or less stuck to a theme the whole way through (the theme was just “songs that sound a bit like this”).

9. 65daysofstatic - Asphalt and Trouble
10. Gang of Four - Anthrax (Blood Brothers remix)

I made this for tumblr/my own amusement a while ago, and it got reblogged all over the place. Seems like reposting it here would be a good idea! This is pretty much the first of these mixes to actually stick to its theme: folk, anti-folk ad folk-punk. Basically any good folk-based stuff I felt like adding to it. There is now a part two, but I’ll save that for later.

Tracklist:

1. We Versus The Shark: Suddenly it’s a Folk Song (Future of the Left cover)
2. Andrew Jackson Jihad: Brave as a Noun
