It is raining and all looks perfectly like automn.
I just had my lunch and will have to leave for work. This song is perfect, even if it talks about starting a new day at dawn with nothing but pleasant things and sights.
+1 for LCD Soundsystem (my favorite "hey look, he's just like me!" type of band), and +2 for this specific song.
Although I prefer the non-remixed version (takes a couple of minutes to get into).

^ ah, Shostakovich. Used to listen to some of his stuff, smaller ensemble iirc. Wild and beautiful. Interesting wikipedia page, too:
Quote:
In 1948, Shostakovich, along with many other composers, was again denounced for formalism in the Zhdanov decree. Andrei Zhdanov (...) accused the composers (including Sergei Prokofiev and Aram Khachaturian) of writing inappropriate and formalist music. This was part of an ongoing anti-formalism campaign intended to root out all Western compositional influence as well as any perceived "non-Russian" output. The conference resulted in the publication of the Central Committee's Decree "On V. Muradeli's opera The Great Friendship", which targeted all Soviet composers and demanded that they write only "proletarian" music, or music for the masses. The accused composers, including Shostakovich, were summoned to make public apologies in front of the committee.
