Teenage Wasteland is entertaining indie rock trash talk. It’s not a cover. It’s got an Ezra Pound quote and sample.

Burning December is a spare song, a guy and his banjolele. It’s got a vibe of “it’s cold, but don’t worry, I’ll tend to the fire.”

Hallelukulelejah is a cover of “Hallelujah,” originally by Leonard Cohen and popularized by Jeff Buckley. It’s a great song, covered many, many times. In fact, covering this became the next Music Challenge after this posting – you’ll hear some of the results here in a month or so.

Seven Nation Army is a power-pop cover of the White Stripes song, which I love. This cover was inspired by a post about various covers of the song, including a great one by the Flaming Lips.

Looking at Witches really paints a picture of a desolate winter. It’s a folk rock tune – slow and haunting.

Lorem Ipsum is a great j-pop song – an entirely digital performance except for the guitar and bass. The rest – the choir, the vocals, the other instruments – are made by computer. The lyrics are from some wellknown placeholder text – it’s not grammatical Latin, it’s just meant as visual filler text until the real text arrives.

Joy In The Morning (Cast Your Stone) is some folk rock that veers toward soul and more of a vocal range than expected. This is dagosto’s first time on the podcast!

APATHY//GOLD is a dense techno song. It’s somewhat harshly electronic, and it’s all noodly and trilling and throbbing.

Administrative Professionals’ Day is, well, a hot dance jam for administrative professionals. It’s humorous and also decent dance music.
This is the only song blapst has posted, and they’ve been inactive for a couple of years now.

Everything (is on fire) is a mellow and interesting song, with beatboxing and a recorder and a kazoo, and then the fire spreads and it melts down.
