On our latest ode to ethereal, dreamy pop, which always sounds good to my ears during these early (and colder than usual) fall-bleeding-into winter days, we’ll hear from Spiritualized (pictured), Galaxie 500, Cocteau Twins, Low, Ups and Downs, Hugo Largo, Pale Saints, Lisa Germano, New Order, A.R. Kane, and The Cure, plus covers of Leonard Cohen and The Velvet Underground.
