I have to thank my friend quadruppel for introducing me to Pomplamoose. Not every song in their YouTube repertoire has the same synchronicity that I enjoy in this song Expiration Date but their sound is cheerful and they don’t take themselves too seriously. So yay Pomplamoose!

I only wish I had discovered this video when it was still summer, it perfectly captures the song’s celebration of light. Ernest Greene is Washed Out and the song is called Feel It All Around.

September 2009 is not officially over but oh well, I’m ready for October. Fall weather! Sweaters! Pumpkin spice soy milk! And most importantly, Halloween. Here to usher in the new month with open arms is Skeletons by Inflatable Boy Clams.

The weather in Seattle is changing: summer has finally yielded to fall’s arrival. Clouds hasten through the sky so much that sunlight comes and goes with the blink of an eye. Close your eyes, listen to De-Luxe by Lush, and remember the warmth of summer.

This morning on my walk with Vincenzo we came across lovely sidewalk chalk art. So that this lovely day may continue in a similar vein, I present Perfect Day by Lou Reed featuring Antony Hegarty.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted an audio track but I promise to post more—especially now that I’ve learned (GEEK ALERT) how to use PHP to display my RSS feed on my site. But I digress. Today’s track welcomes fall back to Seattle with a previously unreleased vocal version of Lovesleep by Swallow.

I’ve had this remix of Echo by Kristin Hersh for nine years but I never knew who made it. Kristin was kind enough to solve the mystery: “Scott Fritz…a swell guy out of LA…I love that re-mix…it’s a real Frankenstein’s monster” The OCD nature of my music library can breathe a little easier today.
