Ho hum, another 7 days of low to mid 80's weather. No clouds, just big round sun shapes (the news 7 day forecast graphic). Autumn is here, technically, but it keeps teasing us. Then summer keeps hangin' round like a subcutaneous pimple that won't go away.
I am so ready for Autumn, my favorite time of year. Not so much in the old days, when "fall" meant "school", and school was just something that took up too many hours of my days before being able to come home and watch cartoons. Now it's all different, everyday is 8 to 5, and Autumn is something to look forward to. If it ever gets here. Up yours summer.
Some great Autumn songs and albums to get me in spirit of the season:
Nick Drake (all of his albums, that's him up above)
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewilderbeast
David Bowie - Hunky Dory
'The Gnome' by Pink Floyd
Van Morrison - Moondance
There are lots more, and they're not all British, I swear.
Have you ever noticed how many movies set in New York take place in Autumn? Quite a few.
Here's a crummy compressed representation of a short vid my friend Christian and I made a few years ago, celebrating Autumn.

You are right, it's crummy and compressed, but still enjoyable. Don't worry my precious, my love, Autumn will be here soon enough.
