\u201cFull Disclosure\u201d – Line & Circle. Fall has finally arrived. We were pushing 90 earlier this week – with the heat indices well above 90 – but suddenly this morning it was below 40 and people were scrambling to turn on their furnaces. The next week promises only one day above 60. Mother Nature is a bitch\u2026 Perfectly timed is this song, which may hew a little too close to early R.E.M., but still fits the mood of the season, when the days get shorter and thoughts get a little more wistful.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Flowers Beneath Your Feet\u201d – Laura Carbone & The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Keeping it in the fall vibe is this dreamy, shoe-gazey gem. Carbone opened for TPOBPAH on their most recent tour, and they sat down to write and record this song together after. You would think they had been recording together for years based on this track.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpit\u201d – IAN SWEET. IAN SWEET is a band, not a man, thus, I guess, the all CAPS offering of their name. I don\u2019t listen to 90s music nearly as much as I do 80s music these days. But when I hear a song like this, that recalls the best of the middle part of that decade, I\u2019m all for cranking it up.<\/p>\n
\u201cPanic Attack\u201d – Liza Anne. Steven Hyden put Anne\u2019s album, Fine But Dying<\/em>, on his list of near-great albums you may have missed over the summer. He was right, it is a really good piece of work. However, I\u2019ve struggled with what to share from it because it is filled with a bunch of B+ songs, but there is no great, centerpiece song that stands out. I finally picked this, one of my favorites, but like so many others comes up just short of being something I throw into my Best of \u201918 working list.<\/p>\n
