Soundtrack: Tonight’s Super Harvest Moon with Elliott Smith, The Drums, Kid Koala, …
The above was just a regular ‘ole moonrise over some Sonoma vineyards. Tonight’s gonna be a doozy. For the entire northern hemisphere.
This evening’s Autumn Equinox brings the first Super Harvest Moon in 20 years; a rare combo of Summer setting on a full moon. It’ll make nearby Jupiter the second-brightest object in the sky. Step out, crack open some pumpkin beers, and turn up the tunes. Fall’s a-comin’.
Here’s a super soundtrack:
Elliott Smith “Harvest Moon” (Neil Young)
Moonbabies “Crime O’ The Moon” from The Orange Billboard
Thin Lizzy “Dancing In The Moonlight” from Greatest Hits
Les Paul & Mary Ford “How High The Moon”
Yo La Tengo “Autumn Sweater” (Kevin Shield Remix)
King Cresosote “Lavender Moon”
from Kenny And Beth’s Musakal Boat Rides
Modest Mouse “Autumn Beds” from Whale Song 7″

Here’s a fun fact to throw out, when the music’s over:

A: “Sonoma” means “valley of the moon” in Native American.
Happy Fall. Best. Season. Ever.
