Flyball’s Lament (the cover one) is a cover of The Great Big Mulp’s “Flyball’s Lament” (previously). This is a minimal and folkish cover, with frequent guest ORthey singing and playing a guitar or two – one’s his resonator guitar (previously), which is bluegrass-ish.

Into the Night by speicus
Into the Night is a cheesy synthpop cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” originally done by Tommy James & the Shondells (1967) and covered by Tiffany (1987).
bond by 31d1
bond is atmospheric instrumental music – it’s good background music, with a slow build, but not too intrusive.
You Haven’t Done Nothin’ (Plump Mix) by ageispolis
You Haven’t Done Nothin’ (Plump Mix) is a tighter remix of the politically aware 1974 Stevie Wonder original. So funky.
I’m experimenting with podcast tags a bit. Let me know what you think!
Thorns on the Heartstrings by Vicarious
Thorns on the Heartstrings is a slightly dark electronica song, brooding, slow-paced, & pulsing in an industrial way; over midway through, it turns in an acid techno direction – which is to say, it reminds me of that song from “Blade,” in a good way.
The Book of Love by sleepy pete
The Book of Love is sleepy pete & melissa may, as The Harvey Girls (previously), covering a song by The Magnetic Fields, which is altogether lovely & charming. <3
‘Til We’re Dead by inoculatedcities
‘Til We’re Dead is a lovely indie pop song, with harmonizing backup vocals, a Hammond organ, and a celesta. And then some odd lyrics, including “just to keep our brains inside our heads,” which lyrics – along with the general melody – got stuck in my head, as earworms do.
This is song #300 here!
Wave by stubby phillips
Wave is a very mellow acoustic song. It’s fairly simple, and not overly intricate.
Jam back in the house by TwoWordReview
Jam back in the house is a lovely instrumental song – an guitar with looping, done in one take.
It’s going to be a fairly mellow week here, I think.
boing by stubby phillips
boing is an intricate & relaxing instrumental song, a duet between two acoustic guitars.
Take On Me (a cappella cover) by cortex
Take On Me (a cappella cover) is not faithful to the original, but it’s hilarious & really entertaining.
I’ll call those off-kilter covers.
Fault Lines by chimaera
Fault Lines is a rolling, dance, electronica, and synthpoppy song.
Edit: Oops! I’ve been a little sick this week, & I forgot to post the mp3 to the blog for this and one other song. It’s fixed now!
Kick Start by 23skidoo
Kick Start is an adult version of an alphabet song. It’s just 23skidoo and his guitar – happy, pretty uncomplicated pop.
All The Things… by nthdegx
All The Things… (…I’ve Stuck up my Arse, Ode to an A&E Nurse) (the full title) is a drum’n’bass song, with a leisurely acoustic guitar, and drums & synths that roll along with speed. nthdegx has appeared on the podcast before.
The title might refer to a thread or two that discuss foreign bodies inserted into various bodily openings, via hospital reports, with the “explanations” of “I don’t know how it got up there, honest!”
Edit, 2012-03-15 – Oops! I’ve been a little sick this week, & I forgot to post the mp3 to the blog for this song & today’s. It’s fixed now!
