Golden Earring's Radar Love has always been a great road trip song for me, and I could send you that.
I've been drivin' all night,
my hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head that drives my heel
It's my baby callin', says I need you here
And it's half past four and I'm shifting gear
megan, I'm sending those 2 songs to your Gmail.
megan, I don't have the gmail - is profile addy good or buffista rawks?
Also, there's "American Car" by Mike Doughty, which I have at home.
Perkins, was it *necessary* to earworm me with "Radar Love"?!?
Sheesh.
Good g*d juliana. You know, one day, I aspire to a music collection that is at least one-tenth of the typical buffista Music poster.
Based on bands I know I like, and titles, I'd say:
"Yellow Checkered Cars (Bang The Doldrums)" - Fall Out Boy
"Keep The Car Running" - Arcade Fire
"Tonight Is The Night I Fell Asleep At The Wheel" - Barenaked Ladies
"Hurtin' Albertan" - Corb Lund Band
"A Girl Named GO" - Cory Branan
"Passenger Seat" - Death Cab For Cutie
"One Piece At A Time" - Johnny Cash
"Bikeriders" - Lucero
"American Car" - Mike Doughty
"Lovers In The Backseat" - Scissor Sisters
"Sweet Carolina Rain" - Kane
This would good for my April Showers mix.
"Highway 101" - Social Distortion
I considered this (esp. since I will be driving up the coast), but didn't love it.
"Brand New Cadillac" - Vince Taylor and His Playboys
Damn! I have this in the mix too (by The Clash) but it's not on my list. I must have forgotten to copy a few from home.
megan, I don't have the gmail - is profile addy good or buffista rawks?
Either way is fine. Or, you can use my real last name @ gmail--of course, then you have to know how to spell it!!!
And she laughed and laughed...
"Contact" by Phish (now at brawk).
"the tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road. The car is the thing on the road that takes you back to your abode!"
I owe a lot of my music to other Buffistas, for we are a rockin' community.
I think 1/2 of most of my holiday mixes are courtesy of Hec.
buffistarawk is the one exception to my "I don't download free music" rule. I figure it's the equivalent of borrowing a friend's album to make a mix tape.
Garbage, "Driving Lesson"
Elastica, "Car Song"
Butterfly Boucher, "Another White Dash"
