Alt Rock Classics
- Dig Your Own Hole-The Chemical Brothers (A throbbing, spacey, uptempo instrumental, fit for a haunted house.)
- Call Me-Nat Adderley (A peppy, easy listening arrangement that translates well to the trumpet and brings to mind Dionne Warwick's version of "I Say A Little Prayer.")
- Annabelle Lee-Sarah Jarosz (The Edgar Allan Poe poem, "Annabel Lee," set to music. Jarosz's vocals convey the sorrow of death claiming someone who's close to your heart too soon.)
- Respirer dans l'eau-Misc (Impressive interplay between piano, bass, and drums; a sorrowful, uptempo melody can be tricky to pull off, but this ensemble nails it.)
- Each Good Rain-Michelle Qureshi (After all the rain we've had here recently, it's refreshing to hear a guitar instrumental that emphasizes the rain's beauty instead of its inconvenience.)
- Atomic-Blondie (Spy music with a surf guitar sound underscores Blondie's vocals compellingly.)
