Autumn (Or What It Feels Like To Fall)

It’s been a good three months since I’ve intentionally spent more than a few days obsessing over my music folder, reliving every memory for a better sense of direction… but Summer has finally come to an end and a call for change is the only real reason one can find to get through it. I was originally going to present this as some sort of “b-side” to my Summer Mix, but I wanted nothing to do with a format that’d have me thumbing through albums with deaf ears. Embracing the notion of Fall and all of its ambiguous foliage, I chose these songs based on three very simple things: what sounded good, felt right, and above everything else, belonged together… enjoy!

MP3 Seabear – Lion Face Boy
MP3 Blind Pilot – Oviedo
MP3 The Rosebuds – Nice Fox
MP3 Arcade Fire – Half Light I

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing. I actually just put together my fall mix for my friends too. I’m a big fan of seasonal specific music.

Is this link still alive??

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all of your responses and truly value your support as listeners–especially those of you who took the time to share or re-post this. I’ll keep my head in the folders and get another mix up for you soon, until then keep spreading the word!
@Andrew – Yes, the link still works. MediaFire is just down right now. You can still download the songs singularly by right-clicking… or stream it on hypem.

Nice mix! In particular, Blind Pilot is such a great band for autumn weather.

I have a problem with this mix. In order to be able to fit it onto an 80 minute cd, I have to cut out a couple of songs, but I can’t find a single song on it that I don’t like. It’s too damn good!

pfft missing a deerhunter track surely? Helicopter just sounds like leaves falling.

“Helicopter” didn’t hit the web till mid-September, a couple weeks after this mix was released.

Taylor,
LONG time reader/fan of your blog. Love your taste in music. But my favorite thing you do is these seasonal mixes – with this Autumn mix being the best of all-time!
I’ve enjoyed listening to your 50 best songs of the 2000′s decade on Spotify. Any chance you’ll add your seasonal mixes to Spotify?
