We're into October now, time for this again, I think.
I'm just gonna stick this on repeat, pour myself some more spicy rum and sunny delight and read The October Country again.
G'night /links

Oh, yeah, you should probably skip to about a minute in to hear any music.
the 'Drab four' liked to have their little jokes.

Great album.
I always think the (admittedly funny) silliness surrounding the band did a little disservice to the genuine loveliness of their music. I think Pete Steele's bluster and jokiness was a sort of sheepishness about his real creativity. It's all just farcically lugubrious to the point that I initially dismissed them as a joke act, but under the gothic rumbling there's a Brian Wilson-like ear for harmony, melody and arrangement. Those lovely descending lines that resolve into blissed-out choruses in "Haunted" are something else.
