i finally remembered to change the 'playlist' widget on the right side of this page. its only taken me, oh, 6 months.
some great fall albums in heavy rotation right now... some new, some old... but all great music to follow the changing leaves.

the avett brothers - i and love and you (the format + folk music)
pearl jam - backspacer (classic pj sound... + piano)
tom petty - wildflowers (a forgotten classic. make it to the end... "crawling back to you" is awesome)
david gray - draw the line (perfect autumn music. full of textured acoustic instrumentation)
wilco - summerteeth (not my favorite wilco album, but perfect for right now)
