Hedonz: List of Records that Sound Better in Autumn than Any Other Time of the Year

As our Readers well-know, I am prone to finding colored scraps of paper with notes, lists, and other forms of marginalia in the unmistakable handscript of my roommate Hedfonz. The following list on a crimson square read in brown sharpie thus:

Top 10 Autumn Records...that is...List of Albumns that Sound Better in Autumn Than During Any Other Season of the Year...To Do List: 1)Must articulate the difference between people who use "fall" instead of "autumn"...2)Must tell John to water the plants this weekend while I'm away.
Dirty Three - Horse Stories
the Rachel's - Music for Egon Schiele
Bonnie Prince Billy - Ease Down the Road
REM - Automatic for the People
Francoise Hardy - If You Listen
Ludovico Einaudi - Una Mattina
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada
Beatles - Rubber Soul
Yo La Tengo - I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One
Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

I think he leaves them intentionally to upset me...

That bastard Hedfonz (I say it to rhyme with Happy Days second coolest character) thinks he's so smart! He's overlooked a couple obvious choices. Naive cocksucker, that one.

1. American Analog Set - From Our Living Room to Yours (essential!)
2.Catherine Wheel - Adam and Eve
3. Damon & Naomi - The Earth Is Blue
4. Stereolab - Dots and Loops
5. Ryan Adams - Jacksonville City Nights.
6. Neil Halstead - Sleeping On Roads.
7. Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Spanish Dance Troupe.
8. David Bowie - Low
9. Anything by Red House Painters.

One day, we'll teach that punk not to act authority in places he has none.

re: Happy Days
Albert, played by Pat Morita, was undeniably the coolest.
