Pen Expers by Autechre (2001)

Loving the beat on this. I’m having some minor Cure For The Itch flashbacks. It has a very subtle progression that keeps it interesting. I noticed the beat gets curiously arhythmic around the 6:00 mark.

Transitions From Persona To Object by Botch (1999)

Comalies by Lacuna Coil (2002)

The combination of strings, guitar, and Italian is pretty nice. I was expecting something a little more grandiose, but I’m digging this.

Dancing In The Moonlight by Toploader (1999)

A sweet cover of a groovy classic. Very true to the sound and spirit of the original, but with its own appeal.

Constellation Funk by El-P (2002)

El-P fascinated me most when storytelling was involved, but this is really good, too.

If I Ain’t Got You by Alicia Keys (2003)

Sweet and soulful. This is the kinda thing I wanna hear in a classic love ballad.

Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger (1997)

I have rarely heard this song without it being sung by Weird Al as part of a medley. With how catchy it is, I should listen to the original more often.

Running In The 90’s by Max Coveri (1998)

Yes, it’s this old chestnut again. One of the staple memes of walrus submissions. And I like it! (Why, yes, I’m making the LOL, Internet pose.)

Hash Pipe by Weezer (2001)

Please don’t let this be censored, please don’t let this be censored, please don’t- oh, good, it’s not censored. I hate it when they censor songs I really like.

In The End by Linkin Park (2000)

In high school, I was the weird kid who brought a cd player to school so he could listen to music on the bus. And for a good part of my high school years, Hybrid Theory was my album of choice.

B.O.B. by Outkast (2000)

High energy, a skillful rapid flow, some slick rhymes, and a sweet backing. Forget Hey Ya!, this is where they shine.

If Jellicent doesn’t get their sub in as soon as possible, all they’ll hear is a sad trombone!

I’m The One by Annette Peacock

Oh, hey, the orchestra’s tuning up. It kinda feels like the song takes a couple of minutes to really start, but what comes after then is kinda nifty.

Just One Dance by Caro Emerald

I prefer dark cabaret to regular cabaret. Supersexualized lyrics like these aren’t usually up my alley, but these horns make up for it.
