I Need Another 83 Degree Day Like I Need A Hole In My Face


I need a little interaction here. It has been 11 days and I have nothing to say about anything.
Fall is here. It started today at 10:44. It feels anything but fall like today. 83 degrees in late September might as well be 100.

I am looking to put together the greatest collection of fall songs ever.
So throw them in the comment section here below. Throw in your Tom Petty and My Morning Jacket and anything else that feels like a fall time song to you.

alright, begin....now!

Okkervil River The Stand Ins Is Better Than Great...Its Super!!!!


Will Sheff puts on one of the best shows out there. Karen O is better. Eddie Vedder is better. Isaac Brock is better, but thats about it. Black Sheep Boy was amazing and there are enough songs throughout all of Okkervil River's albums to fill an entire evening with great, great music. I was a little disappointed with The Stage Names. I don't know what it was, but I didn't like it like I liked all their other stuff. I just received The Stand Ins in the mail today, which made today a really great day. So I'm listening to it this evening and find it to be the awesomest.

I am just going to play you one song here today. It's a good one, maybe not the best on the album, but then again maybe it is. Its called Pop Lie and it starts right now...

Ce N'est Rien Mix Tape-Don't Forget Your Slippers and Your Gun or Sometimes Forest Fires are a Good Thing


Since I have been listening to these songs a lot lately I thought we could all listen to them, together, far away on different computer screens through bad speakers. Take a second and listen to them. I hope August doesn't come back for another 11 months or more.

DONT FORGET YOUR SLIPPERS AND YOUR GUN OR SOMETIMES FOREST FIRES ARE A GOOD THING
1. You Are Heaven
2. Did I Do Good Mama?
3. Taping Over Things
4. While We Dress Like Dirt
5. Backward Christian Soldiers!
