Downtown is a slow drudge rock version of the 1964 song, written by Tony Hatch, performed by Petula Clark, and covered many, many times. It’s not cheerful, and it’s melancholic and heavy, but not too heavy.

Foundations is a genderbending Kate Nash cover. It’s sort of a neurotic, Livejournal-ish song, with a distinctive voice (and accent).

I Am John is a pretty acoustic cover from goodnewsfortheinsane, originally from Loney Dear. It’s the first song here tagged with melodica or glockenspiel.

Requiem for the Living is an angsty rock song. The end leads into Get Out of My Songs (previously).

Requiem for <blink> is a tongue-in-cheek ode to the tag. (This was originally posted in the first version of Metafilter Music.)

Get Out of My Songs is a ragged & angry song, and it’s excellent.
