Seasonal Albums

[create_destiny]

There are certain albums that are best enjoyed during a particular time of year. To listen to such albums in their "off-season" is to deprive yourself of the full album experience. R.E.M.'s Green album, for example, is best enjoyed in the spring, whereas Fables of the Reconstruction should be played in the fall. Talking Heads Speaking in Tongues or Jane's Addiction's Nothing's Shocking are best when played in the summer. This is not to say that these albums cannot be enjoyed "out of season" ---it's just that they're best when experienced "in season."

Autumn This is the perfect time of year, the perfect month even, to listen to Concrete Blonde's Bloodletting or Portishead's Dummy. Dummy is one of the best damn albums of the '90s if you ask me and it has a long season that goes from late October to early March.

What season should your favorite albums be played in?

Hey that's an idea of a possible music post you could write up----covers that are better than the original.

Now I know you're going to laugh at me again (for loving those Georgia peach lesbians), but one example of a cover that's better than the original is The Indigo Girls singing "Uncle John's Band."

you're brining up horrible college memories now of all the lesbians at Agnes Scott college (right next to the largest lesbian bar in America, where the Indigo girls started) playing that music way too much...and some guys...but it was typically the type of guys who were also way in to Dave Matthews...
