Sanbian is an ambient track, just extremely chill.

In the Morning We Awoke by orville sash
In the Morning We Awoke is a spacey electronic song, chill with droning.
Everything (is on fire) by The Great Big Mulp
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.
The Turducken Song by millipede
The Turducken Song is a ukelele-backed indie pop duet which is a filthy ode to Easter. And it’s NSFW. Really.
Bathe Your Children by doubtfulpalace
Bathe Your Children is a goofy cover of the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song, “Teach Your Children,” as a parody with nonsensical lyrics.
Insomnia sure makes weird things happen. To insomnia!
Catastrophes by cortex
Catastrophes is folk rock – a cello and a piano backing some earnest and defiant singing by Brian Rozendal.
I Said It All by chococat
I Said It All is a lovely bit of lofi garage rock, done for a Music Challenge – it uses only two chords.
There Is No by The World Famous
There Is No is a slow and spooky song that uses the EBow for atmosphere.
Merry Christmas!
Winter Morning by Admira
Winter Morning is a calming classical guitar song.
I Gave You Lots of Presents (But You Left Me In the Past) by Karlos the Jackal
I Gave You Lots of Presents (But You Left Me In the Past) is a happily morose song, with Autoharp and toy piano.
Today’s the day of Mayan apocalypse and Timewave Zero! See you in the next age!
Lullaby by Admira
Lullaby is a classical guitar song by Admira; it’s calming and slow.
In A Room by inoculatedcities
In A Room is a Britpop tune, a cover of The House of Love’s 1990 song. It’s got the shoegaze tag, but it lacks the overdriven guitar in the foreground with distorted effects that I associate with shoegazer. It’s more indie pop and alternative rock.
Mountains by azarbayejani
Mountains is another electronica track with trilling dronish synths, which remind me of Dan Deacon. It feels catchy and danceable to me – it’s happy and triumphant with a nice build.
I’ll just use “trilling” as the applicable tag.
Irish Waltz by Admira
Irish Waltz is another lovely classical guitar piece from Admira. It moves along quickly.
No Tomorrow by nanojath
No Tomorrow is experimental rock – it’s driven by noodly synths, which remind me of Dan Deacon. It’s got a noisy drone, but I like the progression. It’s nanojath’s first appearance on the podcast.
Portable Acid by nthdegx
Portable Acid is a bustling techno track with a noodly synth. I like how quick-moving it is.
Harpy Go Lurky by ORthey
Harpy Go Lurky is a light-hearted and quick-moving banjo and acoustic guitar song.
Wilson’s Hill by nthdegx
Wilson’s Hill is a long techno track, chiptunes with squealing synths noodling around fiercely. If I made a video for it, it would be a shoot-em-up game.
Together (You are not alone) by sputgop
Together (You are not alone) is a mellow, loopy, and uplifting electronica track, which samples “I Am Legend” in a slightly ironic way.
I Command You to Be My Woman by frenetic
I Command You to Be My Woman is a big dumb rock song. Fun and hilarious!
Radio by azarbayejani
Radio is a spacey electronica song, which then gets into gear with a tinkly and noodly synth.
Shutterbug by ludwig_van
Shutterbug is a pop song about grabbing the all-too-ephemeral moment.
The Score by clcapps
The Score is upbeat synthpop, with some extra autotune.
Over My Shoulder by saraswati
Over My Shoulder is a pretty and sad song, a woman singing over a piano about a love moving on.
If you’ve noticed a pattern among the recent songs, I know, and it’s not you. My guess is that winter 2009 wasn’t a happy one.
Goodbye, dear heart by bicyclefish
Goodbye, dear heart is a sad song about heartbreak. It’s sorta indie pop, with an accordion and (I think) a toy xylophone.
I’m Not So Sure It’s Not a Broken Heart by Karlos the Jackal
I’m Not So Sure It’s Not a Broken Heart is a happy bouncy pop song about heartbreak. It’s pretty catchy, and it has a marimba and autoharp, if you like offbeat instruments. (I very much do.)
History by saraswati
History has a piano-backed woman plaintively singing about her romantic history repeating itself. I guess it’s piano pop.
It’s saraswati’s first posted track to Mefi Music and to here!
Turbo Nugget by jake
Turbo Nugget is a happy poppy bouncy chiptune, sort of about a hyper dog running around.
Kane Deuce by grubi
Kane Deuce is a great blaxploitation song, all fuzzy guitars and wah-wahs and NSFW snippets of trash-talking.
Beginnings by Admira
Beginnings is the third song by Admira this week. It’s, you know, laid-back classical guitar. And stuff.
Coming Back by azarbayejani
Coming Back is a happy and slow electronica song, with noodly synths over sleepy and dreamy synths.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the States!
Enigma by Admira
Enigma is another lovely and laidback classical guitar piece from Admira.
1237AM by azarbayejani
1237AM is a trippy overdubbed song, electronica with an interestingly skewed rhythm and a fuzzy and filtered guitar. It’s evocative of the soundtrack of psychedelic desert trips in movies.
El Magia by Admira
El Magia is a relaxing and laidback classical guitar piece. It’s Admira’s first appearance on the podcast.
68 percent by millipede
68 percent is a lofi indie pop song, with lyrics about ending a relationship over poppy music.
My Heart Will Give You Up by The White Hat
So I have some good news and some bad news. And then a bit more good news. Like a sandwich. Anyway.
The good news is, Celine Dion isn’t well-represented in My Heart Will Give You Up. Just in the intro.
The bad news is, Rick Astley is around.
There’s more good news. It’s well done, with The White Hat’s vocals and skills at banjo, guitar, and harmonica making what could be just a goofy song, sort of good and epic (although yes, still deeply silly). And, I don’t think there’s any more rickrolling on the horizon here, though I won’t make promises.
Saint V. Massacree by The White Hat
Saint V. Massacree is just a charming banjo tune – possibly a cover of Guitar Rag, including an accompanying guitar.
Randomly Riding the Bearded Python by Cat Pie Hurts
Randomly Riding the Bearded Python is this sorta rock electro techno thing, with noodly synths and guitars played with ponderous speed.
O Superman by cortex
O Superman is a non-electronic and mostly acoustic cover of the experimental Laurie Anderson song. This is fairly unusual and experimental in its own right.
