Road Trip 2010 Playlist
Though I already had a large selection of music and audiobooks loaded for the road trip, I got a little inspired while poking through my music collection and started building up a driving music playlist. Most of the songs have something to do with traveling, driving, geography and so forth or just have a beat or rhythm that feels like driving to me. The list came out remarkably “classics” heavy but since there will be no one to hear me singing along, I think I’ll be ok.
List follows. As always, recommendations welcome.
UPDATE: I IM’d this to Pip… it took her EXACTLY 30 seconds to identify and object to the presence of Freebird. *sigh*
