If Only I Had Mashup Skills

Matthew Yglesias posted this Cold Cave song yesterday, noting that he couldn’t figure out what it was reminiscent of, and it drove me crazy as well, so I picked at it like a tongue with a loose tooth. He figures: “Goodbye Horses” by Q Lazzarus, and that’s right. But I also think “Your Silent Face” by New Order is in the mix as well. You tell me.
