September: the official start of Fall. It’s that time again where I share my favorite songs for the month. I am quite proud of myself this month because I think I branched off of what I had been listening to the last couple of months.
Around the Fall time and transitioning into the Winter, I tend to move away from indie and low distortion/high reverb songs with the gentle or smooth vocals. I gravitate toward nu metal pretty religiously. Something about the colder, windier weather, the colors of the leaves changing, and the days getting shorter just calls for distortion and screaming for me.
That being said, I have curated another playlist for “DJ Dragonfly’s Favorites” and there is mostly nu metal. I have also included some grunge, of course, as well as some pop, rap, classic rock and so on. Some of these songs have explicit content, so fair warning to everyone.
Additionally, this time around I have a couple German songs. My regular readers would know that the middle of September until the first Sunday of October is Oktoberfest. Because of all the various playlists I have been making for personal use as well as sets on the radio, I have been listening to more German songs than usual.
I think the odd songs out in this playlist would probably be “The Largest” by BigXthaPlug, “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga and “Walking On A Dream” by Empire Of The Sun. My friends have been playing “The Largest” and “Bad Romance” quite often lately for various reasons and so as a result, I have been listening to them more than usual. I have a soft spot for a couple of Empire Of The Sun songs and I guess that has bled through this month.
I hope everyone enjoys this month’s playlist.
