Traurig ist das Leben als ReaktionSr

Artist Song
Element of Crime  Nicht dein Tag 
Element of Crime  Es regnet 
Element of Crime  Geh doch hin 
Element of Crime  Rein gar nichts 
Element of Crime  Mehr als sie erlaubt 
Element of Crime  Bring den Vorschlaghammer mit 
Element of Crime  Drau¯en hinterm Fenster 
Element of Crime  Mit dir allein 
Element of Crime  Das alles kommt mit 
Element of Crime  Sommerschlu¯verkauf der Eitelkeit 
Element of Crime  Kavallerie 
Element of Crime  Alles was blieb 
Element of Crime  _ber Nacht 
Element of Crime  Vier Stunden vor Elbe 1 
Element of Crime  Ohne dich 
Element of Crime  Nichts mehr wie es war 
Element of Crime  Alten Resten eine Chance 
Element of Crime  Mach das Licht aus, wenn du gehst 
Element of Crime  Wei¯es Papier 
Element of Crime  Gelohnt hat es sich nicht 

Comment:

From the vaults: I made this mix last year for Jean-Yves1 in order to help him improve his German, but was too stupid to keep a copy of either the mix or the tracklist for myself. With autumn (and therefore the perfect season for listening to Element of Crime) approaching, I was starting to regret this and asked him to send me the tracklist so I could re-assemble it for myself. He sent it today, and he couldn't have chosen a more appropriate day for it (changing the clocks to winter time! wind! thunderstorms!). Thanks again for typing this up, Jean-Yves!

I gotta learn some German. Is that something about White Paper in #19? Looks well done, but I don't know Element of Crime or why they would particularly fit autumn - feel free to explain...

Yes, indeed, that's something about White Paper in #19. Element of Crime, erm - well, they have trumpets and play the kind of music (and write the kind of lyrics - and let me tell you, they write brilliant lyrics) that relies heavily on the somewhat romanticised and heavily nostalgic feelings that seem to go so well with autumn. They also write about falling leaves and rain and about turning back the clock an hour while feeling nostalgic about the fact that summer has passed a lot. So, autumn music. Maybe a bit like the Tindersticks or the Walkabouts if they sang in German?

Like Walkabouts in German, that explains it, thanks.
