Skallelujah is a ska cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”
There was a Mefi Music Challenge to cover this song, inspired by Hallelukulelejah (previously on the podcast). I’ll try to not go overboard with it, but I can’t make any promises.

You Still Look Like You Did Before is a bluegrass song, with upbeat music, melancholy lyrics, harmonizing backup vocals, and banjo by ORthey.
I’m surprised that it’s not the only song with the tags bluegrass or washboard, considering what I thought I knew about my music tastes when I started this podcast.

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.”

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.

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.
