    stark sad albums like winter can be. lost dogs and red house painters.

    I can't explain it but I can only listen to "The Beatles (The White Album)" in December.

    Alice in Chains is very wintery to me. I also listen to a little more punk during the wintertime as well.

    I always enjoyed George Winston's 'December' during the winter.

    i like to listen to bright eyes in the winter a lot more than any other season. also for some reason, around november and thru the winter i start to listen to stuff that i don't really listen to any other time of year... i'm not sure if it's because that's the season when i first heard that music and i'm trying to recreate a feeling or something. but i definitely seem to "Feel" music most during the winter, just as in the summer i tend to feel it less. it just connects with me on a deeper level. if that makes any sense.

    Some of you might think i'm crazy, but i actually like Gary Hoey's Christmas CDs; "HO HO HOEY" and "HO HO HOEY II" particularly the slower songs (O come all ye Faithful, Away in a Manger, etc....) I've been known to break these out a couple weeks before Xmas!!

    You can sample them here:

    agree with arcade fire. but it's a great gray/bleak day album.
    i usually get into nirvana around this time of the year. and for some reason the i got shit/long road single. i got shit is also a great gray/bleak day song. lucinda williams, johnny cash, alice in chains (at least the s/t album), feist, and others i can't think of right now. getting sleepy.
