In all the doom and gloom of October, we're discussing the allegory for the industrial revolution and the mad scientist and his monster, Victor Von Frankenstein.

Music Monday- Jekyll & Hyde
October is about opposites. It beginning of the autumn, the twilight of the year. The leaves fall down, yet many celebrations about bountiful harvests happen during October and November. To celebrate this dichotomy we’re discussing and comparing the noble Dr. Jekyll and the monstrous Mr. Hyde. Happy listening to the playlist below.
The songs, that I felt exemplified Jekyll and Hyde are “Hotel California”. I chose a cover of this famous song, to highlight the familiar, but to put you on edge, because Passengers cover is different than The Eagles version. Secondly, I chose “Oops… I Did It Again”, by Britney Spears for fun and because Jekyll does not want to transform in Hyde and vice versa.

Music Monday: Nico di Angelo
The theme for the playlist was the late 90s and 2000s emo music. Yes, Nico was born during the 1930s. I believe that he would have caught up on modern music.
Music Monday – ‘The Perks of Being a Wallflower’
This Music Monday, we are going back to high school in the 90s. We're discussing one of the most musical novels, 'Perks of Being the Wallflower'.
