You’re Not The Only One is an upbeat synthpop song, bubbling over with energy & momentum. So fun.

Kait by onehalfjunco

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-09-24 No comments

Kait is a cover of the Ben Folds Five song “Kate.” I wouldn’t call it “sloppy” – I’d say it’s joyous and raucous and fun, and it’s particularly awesome because it was all played by one guy.

JMC (Election Remix) by Aquaman

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-08-09 No comments

JMC (Election Remix) tells a short story, in an experimental way, by a 7-piece band. It’s told after the 2008 election, but it was posted the week before.

It’s the second of two tracks that Aquaman has posted to Mefi Music, and the first one I’ve posted here.

Creature From the Deep by uncleozzy

Creature from the Deep is a head-bobbing retro pop song, like the Monster Mash and the flexi discs off of cereal boxes.

last night a werewolf fell in love with me (silver lipstick remix) is a slightly livelier remix of a power pop song about supernatural romance.

Edit: Whoops. I published this, but I didn’t attach the song. Fixed!

In Your Name by TheWaves

In Your Name is melancholy, slow-paced indie rock.

[Oops! I previewed but didn’t hit publish. Let’s call this the song for Monday & Tuesday.]

Certain Death is an acoustic pop rock song.

Then She Begins … by The Great Big Mulp

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-05-08 No comments

Then She Begins … is another short rock song, packing a lot in despite that – some unusual instruments appear, including an electric ukelele, a toy piano, a reed organ, and a trumpet.

Like a Rolling Stone by BrnP84

Like a Rolling Stone is a very short cover of the Bob Dylan tune, with a fuzzy lofi guitar.

The Stranger by dobie

The Stranger is slow-paced indie rock – a lofi demo.

Rock n’ roll song (about rock n’ roll) by uncleozzy

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-04-04 No comments

Rock n’ roll song (about rock n’ roll) is a very meta rock song about how rock songs about rock rarely rock, but rock songs about those songs can rock – as a case in point, this song. This is uncleozzy’s cover of umbú’s song.

Life Through Veils is a 80’s/90’s atmospheric and psychedelic rock song. If you like this, you might also like their Shape Shifter.

Three Miles Away… is a rock song, with a female singer rocking the soul vibe. The band’s Fugitive Kind, & this is the only song [son] QUAALUDE has posted to Mefi Music, though they posted a (BitTorrent) album release to Projects.

Stars by uncleozzy

Stars is a power pop song, with an earnest pop intro. I like the shift, and I prefer the power pop.

Wasted Hearts by Tlogmer

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-01-23 No comments

Wasted Hearts is a laid-back rock / alt-country song, an unhappy love song for the state of Michigan. (Which was abstract enough to pique my curiosity.)

Subject of the Kill (demo) by de novo dahl

Posted by Pronoiac on 2012-01-16 No comments

This is the demo version of Subject of the Kill, a rough, lo-fi, and garage rock song. The final pop-rock version was also posted – I liked it less. These two versions are the only songs posted by de novo dahl to date. I should label those – suggestions for a tag, anyone?

Black Horse and the Tambourine by flatluigi

Posted by Pronoiac on 2011-12-28 No comments

Black Horse and the Tambourine is flatluigi’s mashup of Beck’s “Black Tambourine” and KT Tunstall’s “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree.” I like its groove.

Till I Can’t Run No More by sourwookie

Posted by Pronoiac on 2011-12-26 No comments

Till I Can’t Run No More sounds like, as sourwookie noted, “Tom Waits singing for the E Street Band” – a heartland rock band, fronted by a singer with a gravelly & raspy voice.

Secret Agent Man by uncleozzy

Secret Agent Man is a sorta surf punk cover of the Johnny Rivers classic.

Too Much For Me by uncleozzy

King of Flesh and Bone by saulgoodman

Posted by Pronoiac on 2011-10-13 No comments

King of Flesh and Bone is an indie rock song with introspective lyrics about the impulse to tear down. It’s from saulgoodman’s band Tangemeenie, who previously appeared here for underwater caves, a mellow atmospheric song. I like their genre-hopping – they’ll be here again.

Hopelessly Devoted to You by chococat

Posted by Pronoiac on 2011-10-05 No comments

I remembered the movie Grease as being bubblegum pop songs about teenage love. chococat watched and paid attention to an oft-neglected song, and noticed that Hopelessly Devoted to You is actually sorta dark and stalker-ish, and made a cover that emphasized that aspect.

You can compare it to the original version. The lightness doesn’t quite shake the tone of the cover for me, but your mileage may vary.
