A last-gasp week of warmth followed by raIn and that unmIstakable chIll that sIgnals the begInnIng of the end. Even year It comes lIke a lIon, fallIng almost squarely on the autumnal equInox. I actually recently loaded Seven Feet Four's classIc <I>"Departure/ArrIval"I> album onto my mp3 player, but thIs selectIon from theIr fInal EP <I>"To kIll Is easy"I> far more befIts the changIng of the season.

That Is, asIde from bands featurIng ex-members. Whatever, I guess I'm just gettIng old; tIme to go to sleep.
