01 What's In It For Me
02 Little House of Savages
03 My Old Man
04 No Christmas While I'm Talking
05 The Rat
06 138th St.
07 The North Pole
08 Hang On, Siobhan
09 New Year's Eve

11 Bows & Arrows

And as previously reported by yours chrooly, The Walkmen are playing the United States this fall, including three shows the night of November 1st at New York's Knitting Factory. The band exudes as much confidence on the stage as in the studio, using a live forum to turn their minimalist studio efforts into raw, raucous and, most importantly, inspiring live affairs. See them.
