Arabesque reminds me of going to the Castro Theatre, where David Hegarty plays the organ before and between shows. Using intermission music to mark the start of the weekend seems fitting.

Your Melodies is, as tdismukes notes in the thread, “plaintive and melancholy.” It’s also warm, with banjo and guitar.

Foundations is a genderbending Kate Nash cover. It’s sort of a neurotic, Livejournal-ish song, with a distinctive voice (and accent).

The Bothered Son and the Phony Ghost is a song about personal religious doubt. It turns epic, raucous, and boisterous, like potch’s previous song here, The Next Voice You Hear.

wheels come off (lucid mix) is more solid trip-hop from frequent guests Hot Bitch Arsenal. This Music Challenge involved spooky and Tom Waits.

musk is a pulsing, rather chill, jazzy song. Its creator calls it progressive grime, which might be plausible, but wow, I detest micro-genres.

Pemulis is garage rock. It’s about a character in David Foster Wallace’s “Infinite Jest,” by the band Derailleur, named after a part of a bicycle. This hits my buttons amusingly well.

Me Plug In is techno video game music.
It looks like this used to play at a different rate in Flash, but it works better now. It should be 2:22 long.

Supergirl is an uplifting, harmonizing, & poppy song, a father cheering on his daughter.
This song is from the fourth Mefi Music Challenge, “superhero.”
