While wanting to wish all our American readers a happy Fourth of July, we here at SEM, being the iconoclasts that we are, have decided to forego the normal backyard whizz-bang type of celebration and instead present some fireworks of a different kind. Further, bearing in mind that 2016 hasn’t thus far been the kindest – if we never have to type the letters ‘R’ ‘I’ and ‘P’ again it will be too soon – we also thought it might be nice to offer an escape of sorts. So, teaming up with frequent contributor and inveterate music obsessive Scott Hanavan, we bring you twenty tracks to help blow your mind while you’re blowing shit up on your back porch (or whatever your chosen method of ringing in the country’s 240th may be). Presented in no particular order – all the better to keep you deliriously off-balance – we give you Summer Daze II. Be safe out there, but also go ahead and be a little wild…
