All The Things… (…I’ve Stuck up my Arse, Ode to an A&E Nurse) (the full title) is a drum’n’bass song, with a leisurely acoustic guitar, and drums & synths that roll along with speed. nthdegx has appeared on the podcast before.
The title might refer to a thread or two that discuss foreign bodies inserted into various bodily openings, via hospital reports, with the “explanations” of “I don’t know how it got up there, honest!”
Edit, 2012-03-15 – Oops! I’ve been a little sick this week, & I forgot to post the mp3 to the blog for this song & today’s. It’s fixed now!

When My Baby Was Mine sounds like tragic 1950’s pop, with some extra fuzzy guitar-sounding thing that’s actually an autoharp.
Previously, I posted Karlos the Jackal’s Happy, which I said reminded me of The Magnetic Fields, and having said that of course there’s some similarity here too.

Cyanotic – Deface (Ad·ver·sary + Dirtybunny = Industrial Strength Mix) is aggro, stompy, crunchy industrial. A previous song of Jairus’ was here; it’s mellower, but still dark & fun.
I don’t think I’ve said this lately, but I don’t do themes here; I’m posting songs I like in chronological order. The transitions are sometimes more interesting than others.

Fantastische Farben is a chiptune song, with instruments from an emulated Commodore 64. It starts simple, but gets rolling a minute in. I like the repeated builds.

Electro-wank sounds a lot like early New Order – the synths, the guitars, the drums. It’s instrumental, with filtered guitars and synths. It’s sort of dreamlike.
