This week, you're shuffling through a shopping mall, trying to find presents for people. All the stores are playing their own music - luckily, Christmas music is not mandatory at this mall. As you walk past each store, you hear a different song, and the song somehow fits the store. <\/p>\n

Shuffle-up five songs: describe the stores.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Death Cab For Cutie - We Looked Like Giants<\/a>. This is coming from a trendy clothing store for high school kids. Most of the merchandise is t-shirts styled to look like they were possibly made in 1980: lots of goth and metal, horror movie stuff. It's retro, but updated just enough to be cool to kids who would be embarrassed to actually wear their parents' clothes.\n
  2. New Pornographers - Broken Breads<\/a>. It's a GAP. Jeans, shirts, dresses for your whole family - if your whole family wants to dress like a 22 year old.\n
  3. Buddy Guy - It's A Jungle Out There<\/a>. It's a Memphis-style BBQ restaurant, blues themed - \"B.B. Q's\" or some such. Lots of framed LPs on the walls, neon signs, pictures of happy pigs. Red vinyl booths. Smells good, but it's a little too loud.\n
  4. West Montgomery - West Coast Blues<\/a>. A book store. They play classic jazz, for that sophisticated vibe. But they pick tunes that are just a little bit jumpy and fast-paced, played a bit too loudly, so as to discourage people from wanting to sit down and read. 'Buy it or leave', is their subliminal message.\n
  5. Cowboy Junkies - I Saw Your Shoes<\/a>. The fastest song the Junkies ever played is coming from the back of a used sporting goods store. The store is actually a money laundering front, so the clerks getting high in the back room don't much care if the customers like the squealing rowdy song or not.\n<\/ol>\n
