Vampire Weekend is a band from New York, NY. This is their song Horchata from their upcomming album Contra (out in January). With winter comming, I thought this song very appropriate. Horchata is a Spanish drink by the way, and yes, one would look psychotic sitting in Spain dinking horchata in a balaclava. I can’t wait for spring.

In December, drinking horchata
I’d look psychotic in a balaclava
Winter’s cold is too much to handle
Pincher crabs that pinch at your sandals

Thom Yorke is from Oxford, UK. This is his song Hearing Damage.

As you may have noticed from the album art, this is a song off the soundtrack of the new Twilight movie, New Moon. And what a soundtrack! Death Cab For Cutie, Thom York, Lykkie Li, The Killers, Bon Iver, Sea Wolf, The Editors to name a few. More info and the whole list on Rolling Stone. I can’t wait (ya, I’m man enough to admit a I like Twilight ).

Sara Lov is from Los Angeles, CA. This is her take on a beautiful (albeit very sad) Arcade Fire song, My Body Is A Cage. She recently played with Port O’Brien and Sea Wolf and it was great. Instead of a band she showed up with her vinyl record player. Awesome.
