picture me rolling

Welcome back to our regularly scheduled program. So, I went to DC for a week and lurved it, got plenty of pictures that will go up on webshots eventually. If anyone cares.

Anyways, made a badassss road mix, because I drove up and wasn't going to listen to shitty radio stations on the way up. This is one of those laid back, on-the-road kinda mixes, something that you can just groooove to. Mostly classical rock, but what ev. If you've heard the songs before, that's the point. Comfortable songs to relax to, preferably with the roof down and sun up.

Tangerine by Led Zeppelin - The best song of theres that never got famous. The epitome of a driving soundtrack song.

For What it's Worth by Buffalo Springfield - Classic for a reason!

Anthem by Phantom Planet - I dig it. Don't hate.

We Are Your Car by Christopher Sullivan

The Weight by Band - Another quintessential sunny-day-riding tune.

Teenage Wasteland by The Who - Can't beat that synth/piano/crazy melody.

Exodus Damage by John Vanderslice - Really, I just can't get enough of this song. Much love for the Pixel Revolt CD.

California Stars by Billy Bragg and Wilco - Perfect twilight song, and has the right midwestern feel to compliment the vibe. Dig it?

It'll All Work out by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Used in Cameron Crowe's ode to Americana, Elizabethtown. Subtle love song, but so heartbreakingly honest.

In other news, Soft, who asked me to feature them once before, hath asked again. Their EP is out and they've gotta new single, "Higher". Check it out, you might like it. I think it's pretty damn good, they have a good sound and I am patiently waiting for a full album. Here's that EP for sale.

Here's another one, that really hit me out of nowhere. A guy named MESH has done some pretty fine mix-ups, in particular, Tears for Fears Mad World mixed with a funk/loud vibe. He's got an EP's worth, five songs where he meshes them together. Get it? Meshes? Damn, that's is clever. Check out his front page where you can get the link to the entire EP.



And I think that's all for now. Got the People in Planes EP and plan on posting links to that. Till then, ciao!
