Hey, it’s been a while. I’m busy preparing and slowly getting myself motivated for my trip to England (only 10 days to go). Since today is the first day in what seems like a hundred years that the temperature is under 80 degrees (that’s remarkable in Florida), I got to thinking about my favorite Fall records. Fall is traditionally a time of epiphany and growth for me, and part of this is facilitated by the music I discover and grow to love as the air outside transitions from “hot as balls” to “okay this isn’t terrible.” Here’s a list of my favorite Fall records:

Hopefully this blog will be busier over the next few months while I study abroad at Oxford. I’m thinking I’ll have a lot to say about my experiences, and a lot of music-related write-ups pertaining to the projects I’ll be working on.
