Never Gonna Bring You Down is a mashup of ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down” and Rick Astley’s “Never Gonna Give You Up.” I like ELO’s stompy bassline.
Happy Halloween!

Slo is mostly an ambient, quiet track with guitars – but, it includes some shoegazer-ish guitars in the background.
This is the only song sloe has posted to Mefi Music.

Reason #3 sounds purposeful and has momentum, and it’s dedicated to, well, noodling along happily.

Half Empty Waltz is an evocative and sad song, a collaboration with es_de_bah. It feels like autumn and Tom Waits and holidays spent alone.

Chainletter is a electronica piece with beeps and boops and it just sort of grooves, noodles, and glides along effortlessly. It’s both orville sash’s first song posted to Metafilter, and posted here!

Large Hadron Collider Pr0nz (SFW) is both breakbeat and chill. It’s instrumental, and it reminds me of an Underworld song – perhaps Tin There.
This is 5imian’s first time on here!

How Jesus is Made or Thank You and Goodnight is a dreamy electronica shoegazer track.
Wow. We’re nearing the end of tehloki’s catalog on Mefi Music – as I write this, he’s only posted one song after this. I liked hearing new music from him.
Runnin’ With The Songsmith by mrzarquon

There’s a story behind Runnin’ With The Songsmith. Microsoft released Songsmith, software that would take vocals and make up backing music, with frequently unintentionally hilarious results. mrzarquon put it together with the lead vocals from Van Halen’s “Runnin’ with the Devil.” The result is amazingly shambolic and hilarious, though it bears little relation to what humans refer to as “music.” It received attention from outside the site, like from Gizmodo, Stereogum, and the New York Times.
The sliding whistle gets me every time.

Then He Kissed Me (Ultra GAMELAN Mix!) is poppy, with an organ and gamelan backing the singer. It’s a gender-bending cover of the song by The Crystals.

Girl Cave by azarbayejani

Girl Cave is minimal electronica, slowly drifting about a bit – ambient, but with a rhythm; there’s a spoken word sample, but otherwise instrumental. It’s somewhat head-nodding.
Happy Canadian Thanksgiving!

I’ll Stab You (for Sumru) by cortex

I’ll Stab You (for Sumru) is a parody of Stevie Wonder’s “I Just Called To Say I Love You,” with lyrics about a specific game of Diplomacy. If you haven’t heard of it, Diplomacy is a board war game of intense scheming and two-faced political alliance-building and backstabbing. The game seems smart and challenging and highly recommended, with some really big caveats.
Where was I? Oh yeah. The song is a decent mimickry of an earnest song, with a piano and nice synth strings in the background.

Says Saturn is an upbeat electro dance party kinda song. There’s a beat right out of a New Order song, too.
