    \n
  1. Vampire Weekend - Horchata<\/a>. This whole album reminds me of last Christmas, because so many of these songs ended up on TV commercials. Not a bad song.\n
  2. The Cure - All Cats Are Grey<\/a>. A cold, but hypnotic, drum track and just sketches of organ and piano. Takes two minutes for Smith to start singing his two verses, and then solo piano finishes it off. Very nice.\n
  3. U2 - Promenade<\/a>. It's one of those atmospheric anthemic things from The Unforgettable Fire. I rather like this one, though. It's short: barely 2:30 long. And I'm glad they didn't stretch it any longer; it says what it has to say and gets out.\n
  4. Calexico - Woven Birds<\/a>. Whispered vocals, skeletal arrangement, a touch of Mexican vibe, a creepy waltz. Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy novels.\n
  5. Paul Simon - Something So Right<\/a>. Though it's not one of my favorites, I do enjoy listening to Simon sing it. The song itself is a bit too mid-70s smooth jazz\/pop for me; reminds me of early Billy Joel or James Taylor. Still, I love Simon's voice no matter what he's singing about.\n<\/ol>\n
