Brighter Days 011

Coming at you in a digital styli, totally unmixed!

I had been working on some music production this afternoon, digging through songs I downloaded to sample, and it reminded me that I have loads of music on my computer that's sole purpose is basically to chop up for drum breaks. But these songs deserve to be heard, and not just as 4 bar loops!

One boon of this cache of music is that it's pretty much unorganized on my hard drive, which leads to some unlikely connections and huge left turns. Enjoy (and I promise I know how to beatmatch when I feel like it).
