RoundTable - Week 3

This week's question -

"What is your ultimate winter mix?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAX NOVA
Clearly the ultimate winter song is the Fleet Foxes classic "White Winter Hymnal." Just kidding.

But rather than a playlist, I'm just going to suggest a few albums:
*Plaid - Double Figure
*Autechre - Amber
*Unwound - Leaves Turn Inside You

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADAM Z. WINER
When I think of Winter, I don't usually think of the holiday season, as much as I think of the cold. To keep myself warm, I like to wear this wonderful winter wig.
ALL SONGS LINKED TO YOUTUBE FOR YOUR LISTENING CONVENIENCE.

1) Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
6) Mates of State - Starman (cover)












*Also - I put Fleet Foxes because I know Max Nova hates them.

DANIEL STRAUSS
These songs are absolutely freezing. That is to say, I often get cold listening to this music. They just seem to make more sense when listened to while walking in the snow.

1. Matthew Good-Last of the Ghetto Astronauts
2. Bruce Springsteen-Atlantic City
3. Frightened Rabbit-Keep Yourself Warm
4. Notorious B.I.G-You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)
5. Okkervil River-Plus Ones
6. The Hold Steady-Stuck Between Stations
7. Fiona Apple-Pale September
8. Hem-Half Acre
9. Matthew Good-A Single Explosion
10. Frightened Rabbit-Fast Blood
11.Rocky Votolato-The Light and the Sound

I honestly couldn't come up with anything for this question, but there was that Bloc Party song that goes, "it's so cooooold in this. house."

That song would be number one on my playlist if I had one.
