An, Australian, Austria, Autumn

I've been pondering words beginning with A, and I've recently found a new band that starts with the letter. Angus & Julia Stone are a brother/sister group with a sound not unlike Lana del Ray, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, or The Fray.
Their songs are- speaking hyperbolically, of course- to die for.
Speaking of figures of speech, I saw a t-shirt in a magazine stating:
"I AVOID CLICHES LIKE THE PLAGUE."
If this made my lovely readers laugh, if they have clever wordplay to share, or if they've found a precious but obscure band, please comment.
With ever so much love, the eclectic authoress.
