Top 25 Songs For October

So, a couple things about the top songs of the month: first of all, it’s clearer than ever that we’re dealing with the Top 25 (not The Top 15) Songs of the Month. I’ve attempted this three times and ended up with 25 songs each time. There’s simply no reason to fight it anymore, that’s just how many great songs I get into each month and I don’t have the time required to whittle the list down to a top 15.

On that note, there are no comments for the songs this month. Presumably, I’m more disappointed about this than anyone since it was one of the goals I set out when I started this entry and my way of differentiating the list from Tom’s. I just did not have the time this month to attempt an insightful comment for twenty five songs and still meet my deadline. I spent every minute of last weekend visiting with Matt and writing my open memo, then went out to the bar to celebrate finishing the memo on Monday, went out to a bar to watch the Bulls last night, and will be attending a wine tasting at the school tonight. Unfortunately I’ve also been forced to fit my reading in there somewhere.

Without further ado, I give you the top 25 songs for October. As always, hit me up on AIM if you would like to receive the songs.
