"Virus" Songs

ATTENTION: Listening to these songs will NOT put a virus on your computer, tablet, smartphone, or what-have-you.

1)  Tiles  ~  "Sacred & Mundane"




2)  The Tragically Hip  ~  "Ultra Mundane"




3)  A Sunny Day In Glasgow  ~  "A Mundane Phonecall To Jack Parsons"  (This is pure cacophony! I don't necessarily mean that as a compliment.)




4)  The Cans  ~  "Sundays Mundane"




5)  Grass Widow  ~  "Celebrate The Mundane"

16)  Diane Cluck  ~  "Mundane & Its Mystery"




17)  Björk  ~  "Aurora"  (Yes, you're right – "mundane" doesn't appear in the title of this one; but it's the final word in each of the song's three verses, and it's Björk – whose music I adore – so here it is!)




18)  Galactic Sherpas  ~  "Mundane"




19)  Sarah Chen  ~  "The Mundane World"  (I wonder what she's singing about. I don't have a clue, but maybe you do? Either way, doesn't she sound lovely!)




20)  Madhouse For Equines ft. MC Flowny  ~  "Mundane Madness"  (This may be the most vicious rap song I've ever heard that doesn't contain a single profanity. Which is good, I guess...but the subject matter here is still pretty bleak. Be forewarned!)




21)  The Johnny Divines  ~   "Magic In The Mundane"




22)  Luster  ~  "Mundane"




23)  Lugn  ~  "Mundane"




24)  Sister  ~  "Mundane"
