Virtual Flaneurism

Speaking of music that embodies the fall, and of Mr. Ray LaMontagne, and of songs coupling with the cold to make you feel like you may never find warmth or contentment or love again, I give you this masterpiece.

Below is a song I've loved for some time, and a song whose aura simply embodies autumn for me. I find as the temperature lowers and the weather turns truly cold, I become overly introspective (S.A.D., anyone?) and my immediate music taste becomes exponentially more folk.

Anyway, last week was a lot of Ray LaMontagne, Bright Eyes, Bob Dylan, Kings of Leon, Josh Ritter, State Radio. Argue the "folk-ness" of these artists at your leisure, but out of earshot, por favor.

If you can't tell, this October (and now November) has been all about Beatles covers. A gift from Eliza:

Nobody Told Me cover by the Flaming Lips...and, uh, an Escher jigsaw puzzle.
