Song Of the Day: October 4, 2005


The Sarah Records tend to come out more frequently in autumn, and today was the first day I really noticed the leaves changing on the drive to school. The mood of perfect melancholia is somewhat detracted from by the fact that the temperature will be in the mid-80s today (that's 29.5 degrees Celsius, courtesy of my handy new Conversion Widget). Nevertheless it won't be long before we get those grey but not terribly cold days that are perfect for sighing over lost loves and missed opportunities. The Orchids provided plenty of soundtrack material for such a scenario, but this is probably our favorite.

Hey Jon, have you started picking up the reissues on Le Temps Moderne yet? Amazon Marketplace just delivered a nice-priced copy of the expanded UNHOLY SOUL.

Stewart-

I think I've just seen the Field Mice discs so far. I liked that band too, especially the "So Said Kay" EP, but I found them wildly inconsistent.

Best,

Jon

If a song got any better than this I couldn't bear it. Best band on Sarah, maybe the best band ever. I've accidentally injured myself to "Caveman".
