It's been said to death on ILM, but The Cure's Disintegration is prob'ly one of the best autumn albums ever recorded.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:36 (twenty-three years ago)

I woke up melancholy this morning, I am totally itching to break out my Disintegration cassette and feel like a doomy 13 year old again!!!

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 19:40 (twenty-three years ago)

It's been said to death on ILM, but The Cure's Disintegration is prob'ly one of the best autumn albums ever recorded.

Hmmm...I don't really associate that album with the Autumn, but rather the thick, verdant flush of late Spring/Early Summer, given the rainy thunderheads and lush sprawl of the album's atmosphere. It also came out just as my final year of college ended (May `89), and I was crushed to be leaving someone behind for good, so it fit the melancholy bill at the time to a tee.

Morrissey, "Now My Heart Is Full"

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:04 (twenty-three years ago)

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Mike, wherever you are, whatever you are, don't lose faith. I know it's gonna happen someday, to you.

― Sonny A. (Keiko), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:23 (twenty-three years ago)

Big Black, "Tiny, King Of The Jews."

― Phil Freeman (Phil Freeman), Monday, 22 September 2003 20:25 (twenty-three years ago)

(btw, getting somebody a cigar is a compliment)

― Mike Taylor (mjt), Monday, 22 September 2003 21:33 (twenty-three years ago)

cape canaveral, american music club; which came out as a b-side around this time nine years ago. lush and gorgeous, one of their finest moments.

― anthony kyle monday (akmonday), Monday, 22 September 2003 22:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Whoaahh.... I was just listening to a John Lennon song from the Lost Lennon Tapes and as soon as I opened this thread he segued into 'September Song'. First time I've ever head this song - 'Dear John' - and he only does it for about 10 seconds.
