Buffistas

Nothing worse than a monster who thinks he's right with God.

Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm amused, in perusing my iTunes, that I have 7 versions of "Hallelujah":

Ari Hest
Bob Dylan
Bono
Jeff Buckley
Leonard Cohen (a 6:55 version from Leonard Cohen Live In Concert)
Leonard Cohen (a 4:40 version from Various Positions)
Rufus Wainright

Ann, that's a ferret.

Hot Rod Lincoln -- I'd pick Charlie Ryan, but there are a number of versions out there
Fast Car -- Tracy Chapman
One Piece at a Time -- Johnny Cash
Driver's Seat -- Sniff 'n' the Tears (a sadly underrated song)
Beep Beep -- Playmates
Dead Man's Curve (or Drag City) -- Jan and Dean

There are also a huge number of truck driver country songs, if you want to go that route:

Six Days on the Road -- Dave Dudley
Convoy -- C.W. McCall

Red Sovine may have been the king of the truck driver songs, but I'm not sure what to recommend. The sappy sentimentality of "Giddyup Go" puts it in the love-it-or-hate-it category. Ditto "Teddy Bear."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I'm amused, in perusing my iTunes, that I have 7 versions of "Hallelujah":

think I am losing it, because just the word Hallelujah makes me laugh now.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I'm amused, in perusing my iTunes, that I have 7 versions of "Hallelujah":

You need to get the John Cale version in there.

Did I miss Kraftwerk's "Autobahn"?

I'm pretty sure I have it on my laptop at home. I was surprised to not see it pop up on the list in my iTunes at work.

Road to Nowhere by Talking Heads is an absolute road trip must.

Sufjan Stevens - "Chicago"

Song about a road trip. And I can get you a copy of that.

I can upload Stolen Car and No Cars go later this evening. I'll also upload Wicked and Weird by Buck65, another road trip song.

Gomez -- "Devil Will Ride"
Janis Joplin -- "Mercedes Benz"
Johnny Cash -- "One Piece At A Time"
Joni Mitchell -- "Big Yellow Taxi"
Nick Drake -- "Road"
