So, October. That was quite a month, huh?
It’s hard to believe it was just a month ago that I was in Las Vegas, much less that it was only a few weeks ago that my sister was married (sorry, still no photographs), or even that it was only about a week ago that my mother and I went to see Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me! at Carnegie Hall. It was a very good month, but I’m actually looking forward to a relatively uneventful November, to be honest.
In the meantime, here’s some of the music I was listening to in October.
- “Transmission Pt. 1” by the Lower 48
- “Nina Simone” by Tom Russell
- “This Blackest Purse” by Why?
- “White Dove” by John Vanderslice
- “Oh What a World” by Sonos
- “This Land Is Our Land” by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings
- “Older Now” by Grant-Lee Phillips
- “Dimestore Diamond” by Gossip
- “Time of the Season” by Ben Taylor Band
- “Alone and Forsaken” by Social Distortion
- “Bad Cover Version” by Jordan Galland
- “Alone Again” by Tok Tok Tok
- “Just Dance” by Gary Go (feat. Mr Dialysis)
- “Crazy Love” by Thea Gilmore
- “Sarah” by Ray LaMontagne

- “The Walls Are Coming Down” by Fanfarlo
October really did seem to fly by, didn’t it? I’m hoping for a quiet November, too. Or just a change in the news cycle…I’d almost welcome more about Balloon Boy if it would drown out the H1N1 hysteria in Canada.
