Way up high continues the banjo motif from yesterday – listening to them side-by-side is what made me realize my weakness for the banjo.
(I promise some synthpop is on the way!)

You know, I don’t think I always had a weakness for banjos. I mean, I thought I disliked bluegrass. But For Heidi is just some noodling around on the banjo, and, well, I’m all right with that.

Dammit: Reprise is tmcw’s second try at covering Blink 182’s song; his first take was also featured here. It’s a warm, friendly, and acoustic take.

Kait is a cover of the Ben Folds Five song “Kate.” I wouldn’t call it “sloppy” – I’d say it’s joyous and raucous and fun, and it’s particularly awesome because it was all played by one guy.

We’re Animals. is a nearly-ambient, instrumental piece; it’s partially glitchy and then just pretty and mellow.

Franklin’s Tower is a lovely, drunk jam band at a wedding, with an appreciative audience. I love the atmosphere! It’s a more laid-back cover of a Grateful Dead song, by the way.

Zillion is a cover of a song from a Sega game, with new lyrics. I love all the instruments – a kazoo, a toy piano, a trumpet, and a reed organ – and the unexpected melancholic mood of it all.

For Great Justice is abrasive techno, aggressive and glitchy. It’s harsh but also melodic. I like how all the instruments sound, but I’m partial to dirty fuzzy synths.

First Snows of Summer is a lovely and lush electronica. I love the textures of the drums, piano, synths, and cymbals. It’s spacy, meandering, and soothing.

Bozboz is just this happily noodling-along busily layered jungle / breakbeat song.

Christmas Rhapsody is an ambitious, hilarious, and pretty amazing holiday-related parody of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Flesh & Bone is jangly electropop – atmospheric, and very 80’s, in a fun and dancy way.
