Trust in You (Old Mix) is a shoegazer track – lots of echoing, fuzzy, and overamped guitars, with a synth melody. Play it loud!
Punch ‘Em In The Dick by mediocre

The release of the instant classic Punch ‘Em In The Dick was a momentous and historic occasion for Metafilter Music. It’s a NSFW hip-hop track, with a deceptively dumb sound and topic and funny lyrics – “scrotum? I damn near killed ’em!” It made it into the Mefi sideblog (a first for a Mefi Music song!), the Mefi podcast, & it was made into a ringtone.
If you haven’t heard it, give it a verse or two; it’s a really smart song for being so lowbrow.
As appropriate: Happy Memorial Day or Punch Monday in the dick, y’all!

Eleven is a fun mix: it’s a cappella techno, featuring the heavily filtered voice of moderator jessamyn.

Candyland is a “country rock power ballad,” which doesn’t fit my usual genres, but it’s catchy enough to stick in my head a bit, so here it is.

she’s sleeping is a quiet and loopy song – just an acoustic guitar. It’s soothing.

A Familiar Tune is a cheesy dance synth-based mashup. I caught the use of Pachelbel’s Canon and the Pet Shop Boys’ “Go West,” but I didn’t catch Puff the Magic Dragon and the Soviet national anthem by myself.

No Name #2 is sort of a lofi demo of an indie folk song. It has only oceanview’s voice and her guitar playing, and it’s quite lovely.
It’s the only song she’s posted to Mefi Music so far.

Planetarium Disco is a happy bouncy techno track, with the synths I like, rolling along in a dense and noodly way.
This is The World Famous’ first appearance here! Many thanks!

Whispers is a charming lofi folk song, about the aftermath of a nearby car accident, with onlookers and someone who gravitated toward the ready audience. It’s part of an unofficial Music challenge, recorded on a laptop’s built-in microphones.
