No music truly captures autumn like folk. There’s something about listening to folk music on a rainy fall afternoon that really can’t be matched. The mellow guitar, soft vocals and poetic lyrics just seem fitting in the fall season. Even if you’ve never listened to folk music, I’d highly recommend giving it a try this fall. Some of my favorites are Bon Iver’s album “For Emma, Forever Ago”, Fossil Collective’s “Tell Where I Lie” and anything by Lighthouse and the Whaler.
I highly recommend checking out the movie “What We Do in the Shadows,” directed by Taika Waititi. The film is a mockumentary following a group of vampires who are living in a New Zealand flat in modern day, and it has to be one of the funniest movies I’ve seen all year.
Editor’s Disparagement:
“No Man’s Sky” was made to seem like a video game that had an infinite universe filled with planet sized planets and an unlimited number of procedurally generated plants and creatures. I watched the trailer hundreds of times, I was there at release to pick up the game, and I’ve never been more disappointed in my life. The game’s “infinite planets” are the same thing just colored differently. The discoverable creatures aren’t giant dinosaurs like the trailer suggests, but instead similar-looking small animals that don’t really differ much from planet to planet. The game is repetitive and bland. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.
