Let's Talk About... On The Beach is Probably a Good Thing to Listen to Today.

Posted by Raquel Nasser on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 5:33 PM

Today is a good day to listen to Neil Young's On The Beach. Not that there is ever really a bad day for what is arguably the tidiest collection of Young's best work, but as the heavenly ceiling hangs roughly five feet above our stupid heads, let his grim representation of Los Angeles—that fabled, sun-bathed city we might just be entertaining visions of—offer some solace. People are still miserable when it's nice outside.

So what if there are only forty-six minutes of "daylight" remaining. So what if our Circadian rhythms are preparing to enter the gauntlet of gloom that is the next seven months. SO FREAKING WHAT.

Just listen to this; it should make you feel better, or exponentially worse.
