You drop the needle on the jazz platter (or pull up a blues album on your mp3 player or dig out that mixtape from college). Ensconcing yourself in the coziest seat in the house, you crack the spine on a classic (or find your place in that sci-fi paperback or pull up a biography on your e-book reader).

Lovecraft.<\/a> Always. Followed shortly by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cormacmccarthy.com\/\">Cormac McCarthy<\/a>, he is my absolute favorite writer. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably because he is a master in crafting atmospheres and that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always something I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m craving. No one does it better than him: telling a terrifying, weird (and sometimes philosophic) tale while creating a warm poetic bubble to hide into while you read it. <\/p>\n<p>He was a true genius and a poet and inspired a dark ode called <em>On The Doorstep<\/em> we featured on our debut record. Just reading the titles of his stories is an experience: <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hplovecraft.com\/writings\/texts\/fiction\/td.aspx\">The Thing On The Doorstep<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hplovecraft.com\/writings\/texts\/fiction\/mm.aspx\">At The Mountains Of Madness<\/a><\/em>, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hplovecraft.com\/writings\/texts\/fiction\/ph.aspx\">The Picture In The House<\/a><\/em> . . . his work is full of fears and shadows but it is oh so beautiful and always inspires me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Listen<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well since we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re talking about atmospheres I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d go with an all time favorite by Neko Case: <em>Blacklisted<\/em>. It translates perfectly her talent for -yes here it comes- creating an atmosphere around her words with a perfect control of her monumental voice but also with the dazzling richness of the arrangements. She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s one of the best singer-songwriters I can think of anyway and this album definitely is one of her best. A perfect listen for an autumn evening while you pour the drink you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have in bed with Lovecraft. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rare for an album to get so close to perfection from writing to production; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s flawless and <a href=\"http:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/3hiLXL9y2aHo5piL9b6ARO\">hits me every time like a really sweet bullet<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/youtu.be\/3fhur6g8_BM<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Good Drink<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a big drinker. I drink a lot of everything and I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just mean alcohol, so this is a tough one. But if I were to listen to Case and read Lovecraft tonight, I would probably have some of that red wine I hide under the kitchen table. The dark red Bordeaux that makes your throat feel like its got central heating too. A perfect drink to gently fall asleep after the music stops and the story is over.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s a simple yet sublime pleasure, and just thinking about it can make you feel a little calmer, a little more content.
