SUMMER’S OVER THANK GOODNESS
Sandstorm in Riyadh
Paleo - “Month #9 (Shining the Moon)” I've been waiting since April to share this song, from Anonymous Monk's Spring Calendar compilation. It's a song about September and thank god the month has finally arrived. The kids are putting on their new school uniforms, the leaves are turning colour, we're all sick of picnics and barbecues and lazing in the grass in short sleeves. When Paleo salutes September, creaky-voiced and tuba-assisted, part wee! and part rattle-tat, we know he's saluting the fact that winter's almost here. Can't wait til the moment we gotta put on our winter boots, put our bicycles away. Can't wait 'til there's firewood crackling in the hearth and we have more time to compose silly beautiful DIY folk-pop songs in our grannies' attics.
[This terrific comp includes great songs by Karl Blau, Golden Ghost and others. Really well worth buying (and perfect for making mixtapes.)]
