Spacey, instrumental, bongo-heavy breakbeat-driven jam with vintage analogue organ sounds sampled from a Baldwin Funmachine. Picks up where the first half stopped and has more of a prog-hip-hop vibe than the first section. [more inside]

This is a quiet, meditative, minimalist instrumental piano piece, with occasional visits by vibes, fretless bass and lap steel guitar. You might want to play it somewhat loudly to hear some of the softer notes. Do you think it's finished, or should I add something? [more inside]

I guess I'm sort of a sucker for remixing ol' Kate. But it's hard to resist when her voice sounds good, and so many of her songs have stripped down arrangements that lend themselves well to sampling.

You know what's odd? When you post a song to MeFi, it says to "give a short, descriptive title" under the field where the song title goes. That's weird. Shouldn't it say, "put the name of your song here" or something? Or is it suggesting that song titles themselves should be short and descriptive?

We've all got 'em......haven't we? You know.....bands/artists that are irredeemably uncool but which you secretly like? And, conversely, so-called cool bands that you either actively dislike or simply don't get what all the fuss is about. So to liven up what seems to be a rather quiet spell at MeFiMu I thought a "confessions"-style parlour game might be quite spendid (more tea Vicar?). You may, if you wish, offer up a defence against the prosecution case. Or you may simply brazen it out. I've appended a few of mine to get the ball rolling....
