It’s finally October and sadly it’s coming to an end. With that comes the next monthly “DJ Dragonfly’s Favorites.”
I know that I am not alone in saying that this month has been a rough one. With all the midterms, fall activities and the sun setting earlier and earlier, tensions have been high. I have personally been falling back on comfort and so many of my favorites this month have been repetitive of the last couple months. That being said, I tried to compile a list of songs that I think accurately measure my favorites this month, excluding repeats. Some of these songs have explicit content, so fair warning to everyone.
This month, I feel I have a dichotomy of nu metal or heavy distortion and indie or high reverb feel in my playlist. I like to think there is a gradient especially with all the Halloween playlists I have been working on lately. I believe a couple of the songs in the playlist are kind of Halloween-esque, such as “Oh Klahoma” by Jack Stauber.
I have a couple other songs that I had recently been reminded of and haven’t been able to stop listening to. One example would be “Deceptacon” by Le Tigre. The other night, I was taking my lovely dog Daphne out and I overheard a car passing by with this song blasting. I hadn’t heard the song in ages and decided I needed to listen to it right then and there. Thus, the song has become one of DJ Dragonfly’s October Favorites.
Another example might be “Suffragette City” by David Bowie. I was also reminded of this song as it was playing in a TV show I was watching. I couldn’t just let that song slide. I needed to start listening to it again. That honestly led to a spiral of Bowie songs which of course led me to now want to rewatch “Labyrinth” from 1986. I suppose I have my evening plans. I hope everyone enjoys this months’ selections.
