sun_set_bravelyFrom Rob Brezsny today:
"VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): It's sowing time, Virgo. Seeds you plant in the coming days will grow into the crop you will ultimately harvest in July, 2005. If you think big, those seeds will also figure prominently in blooms that won't fully ripen until the latter part of 2015 and the first nine months of 2016. I suppose it's possible you'll get freaked out by the pressure, and pretend you don't have the awesome power I'm telling you that you have. In that case, you'll distract yourself with a thousand and one trivial concerns and let blind fate do the seed-planting for you.
But I don't recommend that approach. I'd love for you to get excited as you contemplate what you want to be doing 12 years from now."
This is some pretty good advice here. It's a nice kick in the pants. Thanks, Rob.

In other news, I want to buy one or two new CDs. Last summer, fall, and winter I had really good new music to listen to, and ultimately score those seasons in my memory. (Erin McKeown's "Grand," Beth Orton's "Central Reservations," and Rufus Wainwright's "Want One" / Aimee Mann's "Lost in Space", in that order.) I totally spaced out this summer, so I don't have a 2004 Summer Jam memory, which is okay by me. But I don't want to space out this fall or winter, because I love having music that evoke specific seasons and years.
So I'm turning to y'all. What good fall and winter CDs would you recommend? They can be brand new music, or they can be old music. Any genre, any gender, anything. Fire away! (And specify which albums are Fall and which are Winter.)

Date: 2004-09-16 10:12 am (UTC)For something a bit more wintry and vocal, Rebecca Pidgeon's Four Marys is a wonderful voice and acoustic guitar trad folk album, just simple and unadorned and traditional and a good thing on a cold day, with hot chocolate.
