The Cure's "Disintegration" is totally the best album for cold weather or rain. I also really like Low for cold and rainy days and nights. I love "Disintegration" so much, esp because I'm really an album guy rather than a song guy, and as an album "Disintegration" is amazing, especially the transition between "The Same Deep Water as You" and "Disintegration."

My favorite cold weather song is Low's "Last Snowstorm of the Year:"

last snowstorm of the year

when we were young
we wanted to die
but the sound of a drum
and the words of a child
brought different light
now no one can tell
the winter was nice
but the summer is hell

the ground was so hard
the nights were so long
but we suffered the dark
and we wrote all those songs
still i was a fool
i covered my ears
no i would not face the last snowstorm of the year
no i would not face the last snowstorm of the year


Some winters I seem to have sort of a reverse SAD- I get depressed as winter ends, and that song always reminds me of those feelings.

See you in a couple weeks, I hope, for pdd game night! mandie and I are going to Mexico for our belated honeymoon, so we won't be there on Monday the 12th or the 19th, but after that we'll be there like usual!
