noo. noooooooooooooooooooooo noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

THE FALL check it out it's quite windy music if you will. check out hex induction hours!

so uh how many people actually do mixtapes/collections depending on seasons for real. and i'm not talking about SUMMER HITS/MIXTAPE that everybody inevitably churns out at some point in their lifespan i'm talking about EVERY SEASON STUFF.

secondly, how do you decice this? i got some music i know that actually fall into some seasons without really having any (genre) pastiches in it so how can you even tell this. or perhaps you, dear reader, can't tell and that's fair game but can you drop any artist you like and the seasons you think they fall in?

stuff like siouxsie and the banshees sounds like october. whoa it's not october yet I mean september/october

idk certain music does sound better at certain times of year but does it apply to more than one individual? lets find out

I kind of do this I guess because I listen to a lot of stuff when walking around with an ipod or whatever. Some music is really good for chilling on hot days and walking in sun etc and some is good for uh trudging through wet dark steets all wrapped up in coats and hats. For fall and winter I find I listen to more postpunk shit like Magazine, the Fall, the Birthday Party etc because it's kind of spiky and ferocious and good DAMP music. Also some of the Specials' stuff (ghost town hell yeah), Townes Van Zandt songs like Nothin' are uh like strong whiskey or something in terms of being really good on a cold night when taken in moderation but probably not too healthy overall (what a good song though aa), also Leonard Cohen's albums which I kind of cringe about sometimes (THE HUNCHBACKED BELLFOLD LEANS ACROSS / HIS MIRROR'S BURNING GAZE) make really good winter music.

what do you know about leonard cohen? like just a sentence is fine. I have to do a group presentation on him as an artist figure

a girl in my group was reading his wikipedia page and said "wow, he's pro-abortion? yeah, I really want to research THIS person" then turned towards me and peered into my face to see my reaction. I just made an ambiguous oh well face cuz going to either side would have spurred a discussion about abortion

try the walkmen's "everyone who pretended to like me is gone" and the arcade fire's "funeral"

ahahaha

I don't know anything about him and actually like a lot of his stuff but I find him kind of hard to listen to now just because it's like hearing a really good songwriter being bludgeoned to death by a ~POET~ who just smears awful ponderous ARCH PROPHET garbage over everything. Like the first lines of something like "Famous Blue Raincoat" are some of the most well-written and striking I've ever heard but nop instead of powerful understatement and allusion here comes the "thin gypsy thief" (any song with the word gypsy in it is guaranteed to be either smug folkie freespirit garbage or a power ballad by some hard rock band) and more of the showy declaimatory metaphors that are like the house style for his early albums. And don't fucking talk to me about "Suzanne", Suzaaannne. SUZAANNNNE. git that jew off the roof. Ten New Songs is a good album though because it sounds like and is music for people who've already had all aspirations beaten out of them and just want to cling on to some tiny private scrap of dignity.
