This wobbly instrumental extract was eventually grafted onto the beginning of Jesus Christ, making it guilty as Christmas tuneage by association.

First Cow in the Territory - William Tyler (2019)

I've had this song stuck in my head since the minute I became sentient.

One of the download-only bonus tracks from The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway 50th Anniversary box set. Kinda dumb they didn't just put the whole demo reel on the Blu-ray. But what do I know??

I Still Play is eleven new solo piano compositions by artists who have recorded for Nonesuch Records, written in honor of the label’s longtime President Bob Hurwitz on the occasion of his 2017 shift into the Chairman Emeritus role. The album features works by John Adams, Laurie Anderson, Timo Andres, Louis Andriessen, Donnacha Dennehy, Philip Glass, Nico Muhly, Brad Mehldau, Steve Reich, Pat Metheny, and Randy Newman, performed by Andres, Mehldau, Newman, and Jeremy Denk.

Beware! This jingle, sung as a round, is an earworm to end all earworms!

All hail our Eyeball Overlords and the patron saints of shortsongs!

Originally just tacked on as a coda to She's Just Like Me, it's time Taking Time take the time to shine on its own.

Sun Ra poking through the the fog to bring you a short version of a great tune.

It's going to happen very soon The great event, which will end the horror Which will end the sorrow Next Tuesday when the sun goes down I will play the Moonlight Sonata backwards This will reverse the effects of the world's mad plunge Into suffering, for the last 200 million years What a lovely night that would be What a sigh of relief As the senile robins Become bright red again And the retired nightingales Pick up their dusty tails And assert the Majesty of Creation

happy mother's day

Happy May Day shortsongers.
