A perfect autumn album
 

So it rains all day, it's windy and all that ... what do you put on?

My choices are clear:

auuuurgh! I need to order that! Too bad I'm broke :( .

Pink Moon

I'm rocking some Elliott Smith right now. You can't go wrong there.

Bitches Brew

I don't know why, but I'd say: Brighten the Corner by Pavement. It's probably their automnal album.

Autumn Almanac
From the dew-soaked hedge creeps a crawly caterpillar,
When the dawn begins to crack.
Its all part of my autumn almanac.
Breeze blows leaves of a mustard-coloured yellow,
So I sweep them in my sack.
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.

Friday evenings, people get together,
Hiding from the weather.
Tea and toasted, buttered currant buns
Can't compensate for lack of sun,
Because the summer's all gone.

La-la-la-la...
Oh, my poor rheumatic back
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.

I like my football on a saturday,
Roast beef on sundays, all right.
I go to blackpool for my holidays,
Sit in the open sunlight.

This is my street, and I'm never gonna to leave it,
And I'm always gonna to stay here
If I live to be ninety-nine,
'cause all the people I meet
Seem to come from my street
And I can't get away,
Because it's calling me, (come on home)
Hear it calling me, (come on home)

La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn armagnac
Yes, yes, yes, it's my autumn almanac.
La-la-la-la...
Oh, my autumn almanac
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!
Bop-bop-bopm-bop-bop, whoa!

appears on "Something Else By The Kinks"

Badgerlore: Stories For Owls (2005)

Black Heart Procession - "2"

Phew, I hate Bright Eyes and especially that album you listed, Danny.

Damn the three images should have been of the same size :(

Why do you hate Bright Eyes and especially Lifted? It's an epic album, especially the closing two tracks..

I don't know, maybe because of that Connor Oberst personna.

He's a countrified sadsack, yeah, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. He takes the piss out of himself in his songs anyway:

"For a song I was bought,
Now I lie when I talk
With a careful eye on the cue card.
Onto a stage I was pushed,
With my sorrow well rehearsed.
So give me all your pity and your money, now (all of it)"

from 'False Advertising', on the album Lifted.

bardo pond

one of my favorites and my number one most autumnal record.
recorded in the dead of October (forty years ago)
and it sounds like it.
