Howdy folks! This week we’re introducing a brand new weekly feature to the site to help kick up your weekend with awesome music!

Every Friday we are going to be laying down some kickass fanmixes, with different geeky themes each week to help keep your Fridays literally fan-tastic. With fandom-inspired music playlists every week, we’ll be all you need to keep your weekend full of geeky sounds!

For our debut of Fanmix Fridays, we’re taking a cue from the fantastic soundtrack from the Guardians of the Galaxy film. After being abducted from Earth for 26 years, there’s a lot of awesome jams that Peter Quill would have missed. So it’s only a matter of time until he returns to Earth, gets himself an iPod and gets back in touch with the music that this lovely planet has produced in his absence.

Without further adieu, it’s time to check out…
