On to the music:
For those of you who are new, we kick off every week by sharing what we’ve been playing.
The playlist below is some of what I’ve had in heavy rotation. The last vestiges of summer finally seem to be giving way here, and fall is in full swing. In my part of the world, that means bright red trees and frosty windshields. It also means winter isn’t too far out.
There are records I like in July, and some that really only see daylight this time of year. Maybe that’s you, too? At any rate, my listening habits tend to change with the seasons, and this week’s playlist reflects those cooler temps and lower sun. Side A kicks off with an all-timer from one of my favorite bands. Sonic comfort food? Maybe. From there, we go to brand new stuff from Dazy and Formal Sppeedwear before more comfort food from Paul Wedsterberg.
Side B takes us back to early ‘90s Portland and Elliott Smith before he was, you know, Elliott Smith. We visit another Smith (as in Mark E., Neko Case, and Louisville before ending with a gorgeous track from Ezra Furman.
