A Song for Dolphins is an odd, eclectic song.
Insert your own “so long and thanks for all the fish” joke here.

Hide and Seek is a pretty acoustic guitar cover of an Imogen Heap song. The White Hat and I were both introduced to the song by the Dear Sister meme in the previous month, spawned by a The Lonely Island / Saturday Night Live short.

All The Things You Are is an solo acoustic guitar take on a jazz classic. It’s a lovely song, which you might recognize from Charlie Parker and from Ella Fitzgerald.

The Biggie Blues is fun hip-hop, remixing Notorious B.I.G. with glitchy samples.

Vamp is a quiet and soothing instrumental piece.
Its creator thought it sounded overly like a softcore porn soundtrack, but I think it could use a little bit more, maybe a pulsing saxophone, a squealing guitar solo, or a honking bicycle horn. What do you think?

Locutus is spacy, rockish techno. I like how the username & the song title go together.
