Help Me Make a Cross-Country Playlist! (please.)

[Treacle]

So I am definitely moving to Seattle. I leave Atlanta, GA on April 12th and hope to arrive in the Emerald City on April 16th or thereabouts.

With all that alone time, I'm going to get tired of listening to myself breathe so I'm hoping you all can recommend some music for me to put in the Ipod.

Please?

[ZombieSpeedball]

Green Day
Coheed & Cambria
The Gorillaz

[Kedd]

Rollingstones-Sympathy for the Devil

[Kedd]

Can't go wrong with almost anything by Lupe Fiasco

[ZombieSpeedball]

Killer Queen - Queen

[Donal DeLay]

What are you into?

[The Hodag]

This will cover everything!


"Water No Get Enemy" - Fela Kuti

"Battle of Who Could Care Less" - Ben Folds Five

The theme from The Warriors

"Sissyneck" - Beck

"Baby I Love You" - Aretha Franklin

"Sunshine of Your Love" - Cream

"Let's Groove" - Earth Wind & Fire

"Boom Boom" - John Lee Hooker

"Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes" - Paul Simon

"Red Right Hand" - Nick Cave

[Kedd]

The highlander theme song

[Treacle]

What are you into?

I usually listen to fairly mellow music (like Explosions in the Sky, Blonde Redhead, and Portishead), but I'm looking for more upbeat tunes.

Stuff that'll make me want to bang my head...or at least keep me awake. :D

[The Hodag]

Oh yeah, and the soundtrack to Chicago.

And CCR's "best of."

And "James Brown Live at the Apollo" (1962)

[Treacle]

Jimmy Can Crack Corn - Eminem.
Anything from Enter The 36 Chambers.
Most AC/DC.
R.L. Burnside.
Magic Slim.

Any Flogging Molly CD - it'll keep you awake because you'll be belting out the tunes along with them.

[Run-BMC]

I drive from Portland to LA and back every other month, and to TX two or three times a year because I love road trips. A couple of years ago I discovered podcasts, comedy albums and audiobooks, and as much as I love my music, they can make a road trip totally fly by.

[Donal DeLay]

If you do the podcast route Choi suggest, The Devil And Me by Skottie Young and Casey McCauley.

It. Is. Fucking. Hillarious.

Sidebar Nation is really good, too if you're into illustrators.

[Run-BMC]

But for music, Massive Attack, Conjure One, and surprisingly Sixpence None the Richer (it's my traditional anthem I play when crossing New Mexico) are my go to's. On road trips, songs you can sing really loud to are great, but only if alone. Even good music can get boring after 1000 miles.

So Pearl Jam Ten, Live Throwing Copper, Alanis Jagged Little Pill, and STP Core are good.

Apparently, Patton Oswalt is pretty funny.

I found this out last week. :D

[The Hodag]

Yeah, if you go the Podcast route, there're tons of great Terry Gross interviews at NPR. Actually, tons of great stuff there in general.

[Run-BMC]

Apparently, Patton Oswalt is pretty funny.

Yes. Here's a big thing though. Limit your choices per comedian, author etc. Vary the shit up. Boredom will kill you.

Always shuffle your songs.

And always have candy on hand. But vary that too.

[Patch]

I would abandon everyone of you at the first rest stop.


Then throw your shit out of the car as I headed down the road.

[Supreme Convoy]

My favorite band Limbeck (http://myspace.com/limbeck) plays the ultimate road trip music. It's like all their songs are about driving.

[AmirLehman]

Have some Erykah Badu, The Roots, and Lauryn Hill in there for good measure. Also, for something more upbeat to keep you awake, have some Missy Elliott and Ludacris on there.

Someone's a classical guy!

You should freak your head out and listen to Jeff Wayne's 70s disco/opera/concept album of War of the Worlds. It goes...a little something...

Like this:

So you think driving music needs to synergize with the environment? 'Cause I'd warrant there're plenty of times when you want the exact opposite. Beautiful rolling plains are great, but sleep-inducing after a while. You need something to counterbalance that. Up-tempo music, urban music, singalong schlock, etc..

[NeverWanderer]

Someday, I want to make a movie that opens with a guy setting off on a roadtrip, just so I can put Muse's "Starlight" over the opening montage.

I'll appreciate the rolling hills during my first paid vacation. ;)

Apropos of nothing, the piano melody in that song reminds me of the schlock 80s tune, "Be Near Me":

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxcpDR6drHk

Am I right?

And was "Be Near Me" in a John Hughes movie? It sure seems like it should've been.

To me, whenever I hear the opening riff from Starlight, I think of Tom Rothrock's "Rollin' Crumblin'" from the Collateral soundtrack.

One of my fave "guy" movies, Fandango, has a great opening roadtrip montage to the tune of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting."

Elton's about the farthest thing there is from a kick-ass rocker, but the fact remains: that song kicks ass.

Let's just say adding some synergy could enhance the trip-- make you aware of the journey.
Stop the car once in awhile.


What would you recommend, Mr. Patch?

These aren't particularly designed to keep you awake, they may not be to your taste-- and they're not meditative exercises, just records; but adding a couple to your trip out west might add to the feeling of being there.

Bill Frisell - Ghost Town
Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
Marc Ribot - and the Prosthetic Cubans
Cowboy Junkies - Black Eyed Man
Grant Lee Buffalo - Mighty Joe Moon
Johnny Cash - American Recordings
Sonny Rollins - Way Out West
Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska
Ennio Morricone - spaghetti western music (Once Upon A Time in the West/The Good the Bad & the Ugly)
Lucinda Williams - her debut record (Side of the Road, Passionate Kisses)
Neil Young - Harvest
Calexico - Black Light
Neko Case - Blacklisted
Nick Cave/Warren Ellis - sndtrk to Assassination of Jesse James
Emmy Lou Harris - Elite Hotel
Howlin' Wolf - any Chess/MCA collection that includes Killing Floor
Aaron Copland - Appalachian Spring/Danzon Cubano/El Salon Mexico
Willie Nelson - Across the Borderline


there's dozens more; play some raucous blues at night, something majestic like the Copland when your driving through the mountains or a pastoral symphony in the morning; grab a classic country or tex-mex record.

[NeverWanderer]

My metal's got to be from before 1980-- when it had some sense of melody.
I'll listen to old Motorhead even, but it's got to go further back then Slayer for me.

Hey, I said it was a good list. :-x

Actually, my sister and I made a circuit of the Four Corners (Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and Utah) last year and we rarely listened to any music at all. Of course, we had each other to talk to, which made all the difference.

I do need to see more of the country, though. I'm totally provincial and that was one of the biggest trips I've ever been on.

Heh, yeah, I think comic art can become a very insular world. To meet deadlines artists learn visual shortcuts, and after a time they start building up to this surreal, dated representation of the world that's increasingly removed from reality. It can be kind of quaintly cool, but it can also come off really hokey.

Man, remember all those back-alley thugs of the 80s with green mohawks? :lol:

I'd listen to my same list but I lived in Arizona for 20 years, drove through Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mex, Tex, several times. And, as an artist-- had a lot of all-nighters.

Since alertness and speed is of the essence-- do like others have suggested and keep a lot your music lively.
It's a shame you have to drive it that way, especially if it's your first time. It's more monotonous when your trapped in your car.

Distances are vast, gas up, have water & snacks. Sun's bright out there, bring shades. Nights are cold.
Stopping, walking, and stretching will actually increase your alertness and reduce fatigue.

Find yourself a copy of the 3-disc Central Park Concert. Mellow, jam-y, and definitely good travel music.

Flogging Molly is Urban?
R.L. Burnside doesn't connect with the experience of travelling cross-country?
Really?

Your list is good, but she asked for upbeat music that'd keep her awake. Most anyone is going to provide a list of loud sing-along type of music. Not appropriate mood music.

If we're going for appropriate music, I'd figure out which states I was travelling through, and find songs to match.
