Considering I've been on MixTape now for a good... 5 months... I figured it was time to make a mix. This showcases the songs I'm currently obsessed with. Grab a pumpkin spice latte from your local Starbucks, light a cigarette, and watch the leaves fall.
tracklist
| 1 | Stefy : Chelsea |
|
No, my friends, the 80s are not striking back. But you'd think otherwise when you hear the "Sweet Dreams"-esque opening of Stefy's, "Chelsea". Up-tempo and sort of cliche, it starts the mixtape off with an energized bang.

| 2 | Sarah Slean : Weight |
|
The somewhat eerie effect of the opening is a welcomed transition from the end of "Chelsea". And then, moments later, the piano! Makes you want to chain-smoke and drive fast, doesn't it?

| 3 | Zero 7 : Destiny |
|
Slowing it down a little more, Zero 7's "Desiny" takes us down a warmer, more sedated path. With a relaxing and catchy bridge, Sia Furler will have you singing her praises.

| 4 | Royksopp : What Else Is There |
|
Another dream-like track, Royksopp's "What Else Is There" makes for a welcomed transition from Zero 7. A little more beat, a little more sass, but the same laid-back feel.

| 5 | pink : Long Way To Happy |
|
A little angrier than what we've heard so far, Pink brings us "Long Way To Happy". The synthesized beats and high-pitched piano chords serve as a perfect background for Pink's raspy, deep tones. Painful, heartwrenching, and utterly must-sing-along-able.

| 6 | Mat Kearney : Crashing Down |
|
Oregon-bred Mat Kearney brings us to tears on "Crashing Down". Pink made us angry, but Mat makes us sad. The slow-paced opening guitar solo introduces us to a softer Chris Martin and we're instantly feeling like we should call our ex to apologize for letting things end the way they did. Think Grey's Anatomy, in music form.

| 7 | Mandalay : Insensible |
|
Mandalay's haunting "Insensible" starts out slowly, but intensely. The drawn-out and hyper-enunciated lyrics make us compelled to sing along, painful though it may be. And who can resist those high notes on the chorus?

| 8 | Fiona Apple : Slow Like Honey |
|
This song is a little friendlier than the last, and its jazzy feel instantly warms us up. A little dirty, a little sensual, Fiona certainly knows how to rock the lower octave of her range. Seeexy.

| 9 | Tori Amos : Winter |
|
A perfect Autumn song, Tori Amos' "Winter" gets us in the mood for snow. Soft and sweet, Tori shines on this wonderful track from Little Earthquakes. Get your mittens, friends. Winter's on its way.

| 10 | The Rolling Stones : Gimme Shelter |
|
And rounding out the mix, from the softness of Tori's voice, we have The Stones. I've always loved the opening "Oooooh"-ing, and think it's a great way to end the Autumn Journey. Spooky and raspy enough to be on the list, but rock-n-roll-ish enough to end it. Mick, we love you.
