iโm not sure whether this is a common feeling, but october is one of my favorite months for listening to/discovering music! i associate the season with feelings of reflection & renewal (and if youโre anything like me, maybe a little too much of the former ๐ฅด), and even though some of these picks might not cleanly align with your criteria, they still feel distinctly autumnal to me: ml buch: flames shards goo alex g: in my arms big thief: the only place modest mouse: talking shit about a pretty sunset weyes blood: picture me better bon iver: michicant beth orton: pass in time grouper: the way her hair falls mojave 3: love songs on the radio elliott smith: everything reminds me of her happy (or rather, melancholic?) listening!!
if you donโt know new queer cinema, his films are a great place to start. incredible slice of life campy shit. nowhere is my favorite of his so far but you really canโt pick a bad one!
ps donโt watch if you hate sex scenes, violence, or gay yearning </3
maybe not radiohead's best album, but my personal favorite. i used to listen to it every morning on the train going to a job i fucking hated and it helped. i donโt hate my job now but the anti corporate and anti establishment dreariness still resonates with me on every listen
