Good albums for Autumn
 

I know Thurston's TOTA is an amazing autumn album, so is Loose Fur - Loose Fur. Go!

One Foot In The Grave by Beck
OK Computer
Moon Pix - Cat Power
Where The Humans Eat - Willy Mason
Lifted - Bright Eyes
Dinosaur's self titled first album

Nice call with Moon Pix and Lifted.

 

Not albums, but both fitting the autumnal spirit.





or Cornershop's Lock, Stock & Double-Barrell

some autumn favourites

the dead c - dr503c
the shadow ring - hold on to ID
retsin - the sweet luck of amarylis
the shins - oh inverted world
guided by voices - alien lanes
david grubbs - the spectrum inbetween
black star - mos def and talib kweli are black star
smog - julius caeser & dongs of sevotion
tara jane o'neil

bad moon rising for sure.

Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside of You

Ditto.

My friend Dale looks like their singer. Nice blast-from-the-childhood band.

Miles Davis - Nefertiti

cerberus shoal - chaiming the knobblesome

Current 93 - Earth Covers Earth
Stone Breath - The Silver Skein Unwound

to be honest there are so many albums that fit to autumn that its hard to go wrong.

Destroy All Monsters - Bored

John Wesley Harding by Bob Dylan
was recorded in the dead of autumn and sounds like it.
beautiful fall record.

REM - Automatic for the People

Thirded for Leaves Turn Inside You. I thought I was the only one who thought that but it's a serious season-transitioning album.

Devendra Banhart - Rejoicing in Hands
Do Make Say Think - Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn
Animal Collective - Sung Tongs

definatly sung tongs
maybe the whitey album. it has that urban autumn feel t it.
oh and the power out by electrelane.
this nations saving grace-the fall

fugazifan, you just reminded me of another great one: The Argument - Fugazi

Ah, totally a summer album.

boris and michio kurihara-rainbow
boris-soundtrack for film mabuta no ura
cat power-the greatest
erykah badu-mama's gun
growing-sky's run into the sea

that's all i got. hell, we don't even get an autumn in louisiana. only heat.

Yo La Tengo albums seem to have an autumny feel to them.

Your friend must be well fit. The Cornershop fan club now inludes you, Pookie and myself. I remember Pookie saying that he really liked the Lock, Stock & Double-Barrell ep once.

I've just been listening to Sun by Sun (Oren Ambarchi + Chris Townend), and that has a perfect "summer's not quite over yet" cosy warmness to it.

comus

Neil Young - Comes a time (the sad songs on it)

Laura Veirs - Carbon glacier

Six Organs Of Admittance- The Sun Awakens
Tortoise- Millions Now Living Will Never Die
The Hospitals- Ive Visited The Island Of Jocks And Jazz
Laurie Anderson- Big Science
Negativland- Points
The Fall- Perverted By Language

I seriously can't think of even one.

Not even an LP you associate with fall because of a certain time in your life or anything?

not even a rolling stones album that you have listened to in the autumn?

Oh, I'm just pulling your collective leg. Of course there are:

Goats Head Soup (came out in fall 73, I thnk--not my fave Stones, but it reminds me of that fall)
Sticky Fingers
L.A. Woman
Nevermind
EVOL
Daydream Nation
First Ramones LP
My Aim Is True
Several Talking Heads LPs (77 thru Remain in Light especially)
Kind of Blue

I'm sure there are more.

Actually, I think The Modern Lovers is my quintessential autumn album.

The 1969 Live Velvet Underground double LP is a close second.

Bob Mould - Workbook

to rococo rot - the amateur view

Nick Drake (anything)
Dylan from s/t to John Wesley Harding (BOTT works too)
Simon & Garfunkel (anything)
The Smiths (anything)

I have plenty more, but I won't bore any of you further.

Canonball Adderly's Something Else (which I found on vinyl today)

TML is more a summer album for me, but I could see it working in the fall.

Agreed on the VU live album.

Yeah, with VU live, I think it's the intimate feel of the recording. Like you're in a small club nursing a hot toddy with the lights low while the wind blows outside. "Anyone here have to go to school tomorrow? Yeah, I thought so..."

Nursing a hot toddy, huh? Sounds pretty autumn-like to me.
