I'm going to be awkward and suggest 'untitled' by Sigur Ros, from the ( ) album (it's track number 3, but all 8 tracks are untitled). Give me a PM if you can't find a DL of it and I'll put it on my server. "Oral sex in school should be treated like gum in school.

I'd like Kalpol Introl by Autechre, from their Incunabula album. I tend to play it when the first signs of frost appear. Either that or the Imposter's Mix of Tricky's Christiansands, which usually what goes on after it. Or, to get away from the bleak coldness of winter, how about Merry Christmas by Wesley Willis, as demonstrated here. How could one's cockles not be melted? Awaits post from Trig saying it's stupid and gay and the only people allowed to write songs about Christmas are East 17, because they did it in the '90s Kenny The Wisdom of YouTube comments: Bright Eyes - When The President Talks To God Not bad. I thought this song might be anti-God, but it seems more to be against the president, which is cool by me.

I'm actually doing pretty well just now Mr ManTHROB.

just can't listen to any of it for the moment sadly as 'er indoors is in the other room listening to audiobooks off the puter.

I will do a mp3 player review session on the way to work tomorrow,

also. I just realised that this means I get to put whatever tunes on of my own that I like!!!!

Just for the record Winter 2006-2007 starts: Dec. 21, 7:22 PM and ends: Mar. 20, 7:07 PM apparently. So we're still ~3 weeks away from the start.

I find it daft that Winter actually (supposedly) begins on the shortest day of the year. No sooner has Winter started then the nights begin to pull out again :S --- "Programming is like sex, one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life." - Michael Sinz

Oh I completely agree, it seems ridiculous. I always though as a kid that winter started in November some time. However, I was, evidently, wrong.

It is ridiculous, and that's why it's a definition that should be ignored, and one of the more accurate definitions uses instead. quote: Astronomically, it starts with the winter solstice, and ends with the spring equinox ... In meteorology, it is by convention counted instead as the whole months of December, January and February in the Northern Hemisphere. ... the winter solstice is traditionally considered as midwinter[citation needed], the winter season beginning 1 November on All Hallows or Samhain. Winter ends and spring begins on Imbolc or Candlemas, which is February 1 or 2. ... the three-month period associated with the coldest average temperatures typically begins somewhere in late November `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Yes, but BP's point I believe is that there's loads of different definitions about when it does and doesn't start. As has been mentioned, I think it's daft that it supposedly begins on the shortest day. --- "Programming is like sex, one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life." - Michael Sinz

Indeed it was, but to expand on what Dave!! pointed out, sp hadn't mentioned that it was the Astronomical definition. Personally I find the climatic definition to be the most sensible - since winter is generally 'the cold part of the year', so why not make it align with the actual coldest part of the year. (and the time of the year when the autumn leaves have mostly finished falling and the time where mid-winter is actually in the middle.) `3.1415P265E589T932E846R64338`

Well, here at least, the coldest part of the year probably is between about Dec 21st and March 21st. It's not gotten really frigid yet and it doesn't tend to start thawing out until the end of March.

I disagree. I consider December in general to be colder than March. We've already been having frosts and whatnot here. I tend to find those begin dying out towards the end of Feb / beginning of March. --- "Programming is like sex, one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life." - Michael Sinz
