October, one of my very favorite months! College football, MLB Playoffs, the NBA is cranking up and, normally, we’d see a steady flow of major acts dropping new music. Well, it still feels like summer everywhere east of the Mississippi, and we’ve had so much new music the past few months that you have to wonder what the fourth quarter releases are going to look like. We hear there are a ton of releases coming in the next few weeks, so while we wait for fall to hit, at least we have lots to listen to.
