What are your favorite songs by Voxtrot?

OK, this one’s pretty ridiculous, since they’ve only released 27 songs to date in the US (across one album, three EPs, 2 7”s and a compilation) and their first full-length Voxtrot has only been out for a few days. But it’s tough even then, considering how many great songs they have! I’ve been listening to the new album a ton lately (I reviewed it recently for PopMatters), going through the cycles of excitement and disappointment and excitement again. And I’ve been thinking a lot about their music in general. I’ve decided on these as my 10 favorite songs by Voxtrot as of today. I reserve the right to change my mind at any moment. (This is not science, it’s enthusiasm.) Please tell me what your favorites are, in the Comments section. And expect a different musician/band next week.
