Alt Rock Playlist For November

I've always loved the overarching aesthetic from what I suppose you would call the alternative rock movement of the late-80s and early-90s. Gloomy, melodic music and abstract videos. Or maybe I was just really into Kennedy as a kid. Here is some good listening to get you in the mood for winter:

Dinosaur Jr. - "Little Fury Things"


The Stone Roses - "Waterfall"


The Screaming Trees - "Nearly Lost You"

Scotland:



And Stonehenge:
