Traveling Mix CD
-
Artist:
My brother is moving out of Maine for the first time in his life. He's visited many other states and a few other countries, but none for any extended period of time. Last week he announced that he is moving to Bozeman, Montana. He's leaving Monday or Tuesday with his dog and whatever he can fit into his car. I'm really proud of him, he's just been stagnating at a bar in Kennebunkport for the past few years being generally immature and treating his girlfriends like shit. He sent me an email saying "I think that it will be a good move for me. I need to get out of maine so bad. Make some new friends and see new places. This town is 30 miles from YellowStone National Park!!! Can you believe that. It also has a 14,000 ft mountain to board all winter. I cant wait." Naturally, I'm excited that he'll be so close to Yellowstone, obviously I will be visiting him. So I made him two mix CDs for his drive that I'd like to share with you all. The first mix consists of travel-related songs:1. Shanty for Arethusa by The Decemberists2. Wilderness by Sleater-Kinney3. Fantastic Voyage by Coolio (can I just say that I got SO happy listening to this song for the first time in years? It's so catchy!)4. Miles Away by Yeah Yeah Yeahs5. Highway to the Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins (we watched Top Gun together many times as kids)6. Go It Alone by Beck7. Here I Go Again by Whitesnake (LOVE it)8. Down Rodeo by Rage Against the Machine (have I mentioned my brother quit his job working at the Tommy Hilfiger outlet to go see Rage with me?)9. Road to Nowhere by the Talking Heads10. Paul Revere by the Beastie Boys11. Rock and Roll McDonald's by Wesley Willis (not entirely travel-related, but there are McDonald's restaurants off of every highway so close enough!)12. Living On A Prayer by Bon Jovi (our favorite band growing up)13. Fuck Tha Police by N.W.A. (again, not entirely travel-related but still)14. Slow Ride by Foghat15. The Distance by Cake16. Get Free by the Vines17. Every State Line by Ani DiFrancoAnd the second mix is just generally good driving music:1. Big River by Johnny Cash2. It Takes Two by Rob Bass3. Small Town by John Cougar Mellencamp4. July, July! by the Decemberists5. Fuck the Pain Away by Peaches6. Such Great Heights by The Postal Service7. Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen8. Sippin' 40oz by GRAVY TRAIN!!!!9. Tones of Home by Blind Melon10. I Whupped Batman's Ass by Wesley Willis11. Private Eyes by Hall & Oates (you have to clap along, it rules)12. Date With the Night by Yeah Yeah Yeahs13. Katamari on the Rock- the theme to Katamari Damacy (PS2 game)14. Blister in the Sun- Violent Femmes15. Don't Stop Believin' by Journey16. Pink Moon by Nick Drake17. Born Slippy by Underworld (LOVE this song)18. Against All Odds by The Postal Service (we used to listen to the Phil Collins version in the car with my mom as kids)So I know I probably missed some really obvious travel-related music but I had to come up with this in only a couple of hours and didn't have time for any additional downloading and whatnot.But what are some great travel-related songs, or great songs to listen to while driving?
