[playlist] Our music fall preview hits Spotify

Despite the inevitable drop in temperatures, this week's Fall Preview includes a concert schedule that promises to keep things hot n' heavy all season long.  To accompany our selection of 24 sweat-inducing gigs, we've assembled a sprawling Spotify playlist -- and it might actually be the most eclectic mixtape ever made.  

Brand-new scorchers from M83, Toro Y Moi, and Neon Indian appear alongside solid-gold "oldies" like Smashing Pumpkins' "Rocket" and "Kissing the Lipless" by The Shins. Buzzy Summer jams from Cults, Yuck, and Das Racist are mixed in with Duran Duran and the Foo Fighters' latest single.  And that's not even the half of it.
