Welcome to Autumn, that fateful season, when hearts will bond and break. When leaves will crunch beneath your feet as the wind begins to rose your cheeks. Haha, good luck to everyone in the coming season, and may your love flourish while the leaves perish. (Woah... sorry... emo alert)

Matt Pond PA (http://www.mattpondpa.com/mppa.html) - In terms of Fall, this is by all means the band to guide you through. New album Several Arrows Later is due out October 11th. I know I'll be picking it up. Stellar band, for fans of Iron and Wine or other good indie. I was certainly thrilled when their cover of Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea," was played on the latest episode of The OC. Reaffirms my love for that show, and for this band. HIGHLY anticipating the new record. (And The OC is just crazy this season, I can't even believe the intensity. Bravo Josh Schwartz).

Neutral Milk Hotel (http://neutralmilkhotel.net/) - Who am I kidding? There's just no way I could mention NMH without recommending them. I don't know anyone who's heard this band and doesn't like them. If you like The Decemberists or any indie rock for that matter, then your favorite artists were probably influenced by these guys. So good... truly special band. Lasting impact and intelligent, moving music. R.I.P.

HORSE the band (http://www.myspace.com/horsetheband) - Had trouble getting into them at first, but I'm ripped up by their new album. Just nuts dude... out of control. Nintendocore? Whatever works hahaha.

I'm going to be honest, I really haven't listened to much other than Coheed (http://www.coheedandcambria.com) recently. Now that they have a 3 album catalogue, I'm just swimming through all their music, and loving every stroke (...you pervert). No other band gives me the same thrill. The Good Apollo graphic novel is pretty wild too, Claudio is either a genius or clinically insane. That remains to be seen.

I'm not really familiar with the rest of the Matt Pond PA catalogue, but that cover was very subpar in my opinion. Maybe I'm just sensitive about any NMH hotel covers, though. Nice recommendation there ;)

I like it. He makes the song his own while still keeping a hint of the original tone.

I'm gonna have to get some Matt Pond PA, seeing as I loves me NMH's "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea". Way to recommend them as well.

i own basically the entire matt pond pa catalogue, except Winter Songs EP. and i cant believe i didnt even realize they were coming out with a new one. omg i suck hardcore.

will be picking up the new Coheed on Monday, from what i heard so far it's amazing. just to get ready ive been listening nonstop to IKSSE. im finding that i love the songs i never really paid attention to before. i love when that happens

Good call with NMH...though I've gotta give Matt Pond another listen through. Didn't really strike me the first time around, but I'll try it out again now....
...Claudio is either a genius or clinically insane. That remains to be seen.
I honestly think it's both. You just CAN'T write music THIS good - and somehow make it all fit together as a story - without being both genius and insane. Anyone who doesn't own this CD....do yourself a favor and go pick it up...it will blow you away. Nice recs, Garret :thumbsup:

I didn't realize that Matt Pond PA was the band doing the cover on The O.C. That's the second cover the OC has used. Crazy.

I don't really listen to Matt Pond PA but in my opinion, that cover lacks all the magic of the original version. Way to go with the NMH rcommendation though, In the Aeroplane is one of the best albums ever, and Over Avery Island, while not being as magical, is a pretty good album too.

Matt Pond PA covered "Champagne Supernova" (by Oasis...) for The OC soundtrack as well, its on the 4th mix i think - really want the new series to come over to the UK as soon as possible, it's my guilty pleasure
