Get your flannels, boots, and pumpkin spiced everything out: it’s officially fall. The leaves are finally starting to change colors, and you can put on a sweater at 8 am without having to change into a tee shirt by noon. With autumn comes the overwhelming need to put some wired headphones in and be transported into another world with music. But alas, a two degree drop of temperature or a change in wind direction can make one yearn for an entirely new playlist. I’ve made a few playlists for multiple different autumn moods.
