I wish I lived in a place where the season changes were dramatic. I'd kill for the chapped lips that tell you fall has arrived and I want to be ostracized for wearing flip flops and short sleeved shirts in October.

I'm respectively covering every season here...in a car.

3 Jim Noir : In The Key of C
The season I hate the most is summer. I hate the fact that I go into it with the best of intentions and the best attitude. I think of uplifting songs like this that make you grin. Possibly some swimming? More like some ridiculous trips to polluted beaches, talking about eating mushrooms back in 'nam, and talking shit on almost everyone.

4 Elvis Costello : I've Been Wrong Before
Being able to be in a car and shut the fuck up is a gift.

You’re all that I adore
But baby, I’ve been wrong before

5 Pernice Brothers : Flaming Wreck
Thanks for birthing me California. I haven't been on a plane in a couple of years now. Pack headphones and hope for a window seat. Staring at the pattern on the seat in front of me and reading magazines that sell pool tables that I can buy from an airplane.

Hello, hello, hello
Did you know that I would die for something new?

7 Radiohead : No Suprises
Welcome pre-fall, no surprises please. Slow down, stop complaining. (Oh, and no spelling mistakes please, there's an r in there somewhere).

I frown at my 7-11 feet from walking around downtown.

8 The Microphones : I Felt My Shape
This would be so much better if the song title was right, it's actually "I Felt Your Shape".

I felt your shape and heard you breathing
I felt the rise and fall of your chest
I felt your fall
Your winter snows
Your gusty blow
Your lava flow
I felt it all
Your starry night
Your lack of light
With limp arms I can feel most of you

please keep it clean.

9 Dead Meadow : I Love You too
This Fall will be melodic, and will have a short stint on an eastern seaboard. Many thanks for convincing me to wear real shoes. Good for driving when you can't decide if it should be windows down/vent open or windows down/vent closed (and there will be a fight that ensues because of it).

12 Cass McCombs : Not the Way
Reminds me of some old shit, trees passing by windows, seat reclined, no feet on the dashboard. No sirens, helicopters or yelling homeless people. Being interrupted by freeway overpasses and billboards every half mile keeps everything in check and keeps you updated on the Showtime line-up.

13 Sun Kil Moon : Carry Me Ohio
Hi Winter.
Hi cold feet, frosty digits, and black curtains.
This song makes Elliott Smith seem like Mickey Mouse. And even though it's clearly about a dead girl it's also great guitar and Mark Kozelek's voice is so dreamy.

Awesome. If I'd been around when this contest was still on, my +5 would have mattered more.
