the dog days are over
this weekend has been decidedly autumnal… despite the fact that we’re not even out of august, there is a noticable chill in the morning air. all a reminder of how incredibly fleeting summer is here on this grey island.
i’ve been playing around with the blog this weekend, and you may see a few changes. one of which is that i’m finally going to host my own music, for however long my bandwidth holds out. my “rotation” featured playlists will eventually be back once i get around to recreating them – there was no real clamour when they quietly went dead (the free host deleted my files) but i like to imagine that people gave them a listen every now and again. or at least, i enjoyed creating them.
so to stave off the lament over the change of season, and inaugurate the new music subdomain: a new playlist.
fun and bouncy songs for a sad summer’s end.
golden age – tv on the radio
turn cold – cut off your hands
sunshowers – m.i.a.
no sunlight – death cab for cutie
feet on grass – future clouds and radar
dog days are over – florence and the machine
steal my sunshine – len

Funny that. I noticed the same thing in Germany this morning – bit of a breeze in the air, brown leaves on the ground. What happened to summer?

in the mornings heading to work, i’ve had to wear my jacket. friday night coming home it was downright chilly. there’s conkers on the ground already!
it did warm up to be a gorgeous day, though. hot, even.
still, the signs are there

Self hosting them is the way to go. I usually take files down after a couple of weeks to alleviate the bandwidth problem.
Love that M.I.A. track, I think of it as a perfect song for our impending spring. I’ve been listening to her a lot over the last few days.
