Fall Sets in. ‘09 playlist. Send your Fall playlist to bhrandcompany@me.com and a pic and we’ll post it up!
1. The Woods - The Hold
A chill low-fi band, recorded “the woods” Sleater-Kinney style. If you need a equation : (Beat Happening + Yo La Tengo) / Moldy Peaches.2. Beat Happening - Noise
An old classic that suits autumn’s color saturation.3. Modest Mouse - Mice Eat Cheese
I wish a lot of bands would go back to being a little more lo-fi… It’s almost like we’ve forgotten the power of a lingering note and the occasional discourse.4. Do Make Say Think - A With Living
The most epic campfire song ever.5. Tortoise - Glass Museum
Honestly a guilt trip on over thinking the fact that the DMST song has vocals. One of the more hopeful jams on here.6. Elliott Smith - Stupidity Tries
Last year I believe Mr. Smith hit everyone’s mixes. Figure 8 has been my current fix.7. Wilco - Solitaire
Been trying to reinvigorate love for Tweedy and Co. This is my favorite song of the last album. I watched parts of Ashes of American Flags a few nights ago. The songs I love are nailed so well. They’ve certainly become more effortless.8. Monsters of Folk - The Sandman, the Brakeman and Me
I’ve only listened to a little of this album, pre-release and even now having it. Still haven’t fully committed to it yet. I dig this song thus far. I think the flow is throwing me off.9. Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place
John said it best when he challenged everyone to a timed review of In Rainbows and stopped before saying “Just listen to it… “10. St. Vincent - Now, Now
Angel made a great comparison to St. Vincent album progression and Stars’ Heart to Set Yourself on Fire. Still I really love some songs off heart, and totally dig Marry Me. This is a classic intro tune.11. The Stone Roses - Made of Stone
The re-issue sparked a revisit. The variety of styles and obvious influence on many of my favorite bands make it irresistible.12. Grizzly Bear - All We Ask
Every time I listen to Veckatimest I fall in love with a different song. I still think the keys in Two Weeks blows away the intro, but part of the fun is the immersion and build.13. Animal Collective - Grass
Fall always passes swiftly for me. The urgency of enjoyment and awe in nature drew to this song.14. Sunset Rundown - Us Ones In Between
This some always strikes me when I listen to it. Totally a band I love more lo-fi, but the new album is still good. I almost put You Go On Ahead (trumpet, trumpet II) but I felt it was too much.15. The Microphones - The Blow, Pt. 2 (Live in Japan 2003)
I’m planing on going to the Halloween Mount Eerie show. Anyone interested in also going to the wordless music series the follow night too?
