WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Where ever you go, there you are.

Posted over 2 years ago
A question for the mog-o-verse. When I travel to certain "hotspots" (Japan, NYC, Austin, etc.), I can't help to make....well, "appropriate" soundtracks. For example, while riding the subway in NYC, I would listen to the Walkmen, Interpol, the Ramones, and the like. In Japan, Cornelius, Asobi Seksu (yes, I know that they are from America, but still...), boris.I dunno, it just seems to be that listening the music in the place that inspired it lends a certain....credibility (?) to the music.Am I alone in this? Does anyone else make special travel playlists for the places they travel?

  1. deadmandeadman says Yes and no. It seems you get more 'destination specific' than I. I use the mix as a way to escape time during the boring parts of travel. When I've reached my destination I like to soak up the local aural ambience.

  2. avenustylee says Yeah- I like to make mix tapes for beach vacations especially. I like to make road trip mixes too. As a matter of fact, I make birthday mixes too. Yeah, I like to mix.
