Road Tunes

Sirius is out and the Ipod is in, this year I'm in control of the road tunes and I'm starting early!

So here is the sampling of the list, as inspired by my hours of listening to Internet radio at work. Nothing fits one genre and for the most part it is totally random, but rest assured these tunes will do exactly what they need to when on the ultimate road trip, inspire another mile...

If you got suggestions, throw them out there, you never know, I might just have a whole new play list from you!

Eddie Vedder - Guaranteed & Big Hard Sun
The Headstones - all their tunes
The Black Keys - anything by them
Carolina Chocolate Drops - Hit em up style
Gnarles Barkley - random pickings from their albums
Buffalo Springfield - For what it's worth
Deathcab For Cutie - all their tunes
Vampire Weekend - One
Dirty Heads - Stand Tall
Mumford & Sons - Little Lion Man & The Cave
Beck - Loser
Wade Hemsworth - Blackfly & Logdrivers Waltz (you might remember this from the CBC)
Infant Sorrow - Just say yes
The National - Bloodbuzz Ohio
Shinedown - Diamond Eyes
Three dog night - Shambala
Paolo Nutini - New Shoes
Apocalyptica - I don't Care (if you haven't seen these guys play - PLEASE do yourself the favor you tube them)
Hugo - 99 Problems
Big Wreck - Ladylike
Broken Bells - Vaporize
Cage the Elephant - No rest for the wicked


Hope it inspires you to check out something new too.

  3. Don't own the album. I own the score though. And I do tend to intro "Kiss from a Rose" as "that song from that Batman movie."

  4. The whole album really grows on you after a while. U2 track was the hook, but the rest of the artists had staying power. Keeps you listening right through.
