Candyland is a “country rock power ballad,” which doesn’t fit my usual genres, but it’s catchy enough to stick in my head a bit, so here it is.

A Familiar Tune is a cheesy dance synth-based mashup. I caught the use of Pachelbel’s Canon and the Pet Shop Boys’ “Go West,” but I didn’t catch Puff the Magic Dragon and the Soviet national anthem by myself.

No Name #2 is sort of a lofi demo of an indie folk song. It has only oceanview’s voice and her guitar playing, and it’s quite lovely.

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.

You Haven’t Done Nothin’ (Plump Mix) is a tighter remix of the politically aware 1974 Stevie Wonder original. So funky.
I’m experimenting with podcast tags a bit. Let me know what you think!
