Comment:

Ah, Autumn. My favorite season. Every year I find myself compelled to make a tape to accompany such traditional fall activities as walking around, wearing scarves and watching things change color and fall down (mostly leaves, occasionally drunk overfed compatriots). This, apparently, is this year's edition. I was more concerned with musical feel than lyrical themes, hence the presence of songs that aren't in any way about Autumn. Nonetheless, there does seem to be a certain amount of lyrical cohesion and a flow throughout, from late summer at the start of the tape to the onset of winter at the end. Enjoy. Now if you don't mind I've got to put on a scarf and go out for a walk.

Always great to see a mix from you. This is no exception--nice stuff, esp the Glen Campbell pick.

Ah yes, Brandt you are correct. I forgot to mention last year's fall tape in my notes. It was called "I Wanna Die in the Same Place I Was Born."

ahh, nice stuff. around these parts, though, we're getting ready for bathing suit (or 'bathers' as the aussies - that's 'auzzies', not 'ossies' as some yanks call them!) season, and i can't wait. better keep doing those exercises, though...
