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.

Profiling is IDM – intelligent dance music – a bit droney and hypnotic / repetitive, but not too ambient for my tastes. It shifts slowly.
Edit, 7pm – The mp3 wasn’t attached. Let’s say this is Tuesday’s entry.

Hey Ya by Galvatron

This is an oddly sorta reverent cover of Hey Ya – it’s a melancholy & a cappella rendering of the Outkast song, with harmonizing. Perhaps I should consider it irreverent for departing from the original.

Wichita Lineman is a sorta disco / electronica cover of the often-covered country / pop classic, originally written by Jimmy Webb for Glen Campbell.

Flashbakk is an intricate & awesome techno track, from god particle – it’s sort of his week here so far. Note, the first six seconds are noisy & not like the rest of the track.

You Haven’t Done Nothin’ (Plump Mix) is a tighter remix of the politically aware 1974 Stevie Wonder original. So funky.

Thorns on the Heartstrings by Vicarious

on 2012-03-26
No comments
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.

‘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!
