"I don't know what to do with myself" Autumn mix

Today is FREEZING! I've put together a little mix of heartwarming and heartbreaking songs that fit with the slightly wintery mood of the weather at the moment. Get a coat and scarf and find a pub with an open fire!

Emiliana Torrini - To Be Free

I love the lyrics in the chorus, they're pretty spot on. From her 'Love In The Time Of Science' album which I totally fell for all those years ago...

Merz - Postcard From A Dark Star


Sadly the video doesn't really do the song justice, but it's one of my favourite EVER songs. Follows on nicely from Emiliana, and also quite fitting as it's getting dark very early these days... rubbish.
Buy Merz' album immediately

The Softlightes - Heart Made Of Sound


Wonderful, wonderful video by Kris Moyes for a really sweet track. Their album, brilliantly titled 'Say No! To Being Cool, Say Yes! To Being Happy' is nearly as good as its title.

Super Furry Animals - Run Away

The Super Furries' new single sounds *almost* like a Christmas single with the sleigh bells, which I guess is fitting as it might as well be December it's so cold. Also the video is hilarious, so it'll warm the cockles.

Brendan Benson - Cold Hands (Warm Heart)

Some great animations in this video. Remember gloves too.
