The leaves are falling and here in New York, the summer heat has been pushed away by the autumn winds. The air is cold and crisp and I am wearing nothing but a hat and socks, tucked away under an afghan, looking out the window, binding zines for Printed Matter'sNew York Book Fairthis weekend. Please save the date (note: it starts today!) because this yearAperture,Daddy,Decathlon,Deitch,Dispatch,The Journal, andO.H.W.OWare some of the exhibitors that'll be tables taking over the corridors and galleries of P.S.1.

This event is free. See what you already know and love; find out about new artists and publications to get obsessed with. But whatever, the autumn winds spins my hat like a record in the air and these are the fall jams they would play. Listen to this mix while looking into your lover's eyes rolling around in the grass (while it lasts), or while working on a project together on your bedroom floor. Fall is for romantic hand-holding walks and being productive. Yep, summer's over, lazies.
