Andrew's Blog Playlist of the Month: October

Time for my big fall playlist! Autumn is absolutely my favorite season in New York and being a couple thousand miles away, I've used these songs get me in the spirit of the big northern season change.
There's something about music that connects me to random (at the time seemingly inconsequential) moments in my life. When I hear some of these tunes, I have very vivid memories of last fall. For instance, when I hear track 2, "Second Chance," I always think of waiting for the A train on the morning of Halloween. Or Bon Iver's "Skinny Love" always makes me think of walking around the west village with my iPod and a travel mug of cider. So here's a collection of the new tunes I'm digging this fall, as well as some old one's that really get me into the mood of the changing of the seasons.
