Hello Automn!
October gave a party;
The leaves by hundreds came -
The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
And leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
And everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band.
~George Cooper, “October’s Party”

October is my favourite month of the year: It’s my birthday and too of the Kid A, Thom Yorke, John Lennon, Groucho Marx and many others. In where I live the autumn is a second part of spring: the sky is allways in a perfect blue, doesn’t matter if are at 10:00 am or 5:00 p.m. There can be nothing better to get out and walk, the beads of sweat now, are breaths of wind.
This playlist works for see those lazy sunsets, when the night appears in slow motion.

Happy Birthday from Wendatland, where we have painted the mountains, for your pleasure, like a giant Vincent Van Gogh…Say Hello, Don’t Cry !!!
This is a nice playlist!!!
I’ve never listened to The Leisure Society and love them :)
Thanks!
I forgot this song Lol!
Is a poem ♥
I love autumn, it’s favorite time of the year to poop.
Si pudiera añadir algo en palabras, además de lo agradable que es para mi lóbulo parietal ser estimulado por éste playlist cada vez que me aparezco por acá, sería un: Gracias por compartirlo.
Saludos
Gordon Maher: I sent back to you a ton of thanks :)(Btw: my birthday was the 2th) / Julie: Find the entire album (The Sleeper) I know you will love it too.
Coral: Si yo pudiera añadir algo en palabras, además de lo agradable que es para mi (me voy a saltar la parte fisiológica porque soy un neofito) leerte seria un: Gracias por tomarte la molestia. :D
Poop man: Respectfully I say: Your blog is creepy.
Beautiful list. Except the Decemberists song is called Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect off of Castaways and Cutouts.
Love that Ambulance Ltd song.
my favorite month too. in southern california the weather is a mixture of crisp wind and euphorious clouds. some days are like spring. my birthday month too! thanks for all the beautiful music and writing, it always makes my days better.
