Media Blackout [mefimusic #75!] by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:29:00 -0800

For my 75th song, I picked one I wrote like 20 years ago. Psycho-folk song about rejecting mass media and embracing local community. Seems more relevant now than ever, and certainly a bit of a love song to this particular community, which has never gone the way of algorithmic walled-garden nor AIslop. Inspired by the title Cobain originally gave Radio Friendly Unit Shifter. Lyrics in fold.

Bruce went to CBGBs (to see Suicide) by umbú

I just learned that Bruce Springsteen was a huge fan of the synth-punk band Suicide in the late 1970s and used to rock out right up at the stage at their shows in NYC. I decided to do my first weekend recording bender in a while in an effort to assimilate that unlikely factoid.

About 10 years in the writing, here's a lazy folky summer thing for you. Might add some sfx/synth. Notes always welcome. Lyrics inside.

Getting this up here before the month ends: the latest from our killed-by-death styled punk band Franky and the Slight Incline. It's over quick.

Break Me In Half (demo) by Maaik

Maaik — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 17:51:31 -0800

My journey of writing pop punk songs from thirty years ago continues apace. This one started as a TikTok and then I banged out this demo in my living room today. I'm trying to get better at writing choruses and actually using my voice.

Chin up. Keep acting like you've got it made. We both know you ain't. You're laughing but it's true.

Fisherian Runaway (poison frog song) by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Tue, 15 Aug 2017 14:31:31 -0800

First song written and recorded since I moved to Napa. Spooky grungy punk that maybe doesn't reflect my sunny new locale. Written about my drummer's frustration with dating, online and otherwise. Lyrics in fold.

Hip with the kids by es_de_bah

es_de_bah — Tue, 08 Nov 2016 20:38:14 -0800

Delirious, teeth-gritted ballad about weapons of mass destruction and grass roots violence. Also, a breathless love song from one monster to another. Also, a way to distract myself while this horrifying evening plays out. Rough mix. Suggestions welcome. Lyrics past break.

Donald Trump is a Fascist Asshole Pig by not_on_display

It cannot be emphasized enough. Song #3 in my Unu Kanto Po Semajno series steals one from the Dead Kennedys' playbook.

Metafilter Podcast Theme - Daft Punk version by cortex

cortex — Wed, 03 Jun 2015 11:25:30 -0800

Somehow the idea of doing an alternate podcast theme riffing on Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger got into my head a while a go, and here it is.

Those Aren't Poodles [Greg Nog cover] by not_on_display

not_on_display — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 16:46:19 -0800

I had the day off. I heard the previous song. I started singing it my head like this. I had to share. I am still in my jammas. I am a recalcitrant dog misidentifier, but I'm better known for considering all animals and some human babies gender-neutral.
