New car, new ipod connection... I may actually listen to more music in the car than before. But my iPod playlists are sadly kid-centric so I need to make more. Luckily I got some itunes gift cards for christmas.
Driving playlist: go. Post itunes or youtube links!

Try the sublime Exile on Coldharbour Lane by the Alabama 3 (or A3 as they are known in the US)
iTunes - Music - Exile On Coldharbour Lane by Alabama 3
You may know "Woke Up This Morning" as the theme tune to the Sopranos, it just rolls along. I love driving to it, it actually slows you down, but many tracks on this album are great road songs.

I never drive without either music or radio on. Even a one mile trip to the store.

I've always considered Scar Tissue by the Red Hot Chili Peppers my quintessential driving song, but only for drives longer than 30min
agree or disagree, these are selections from my "just drive" playlist:
iggy pop - passenger
are you in? - incubus
amber - 311
mahgeetah - my morning jacket
surf wax america - weezer
slow country - gorillaz
we've been had - the walkmen
reelin' in the years - steely dan
lonesome vice magic harvest - alexandre geindre

This car's engine is so damned quiet I can't hear it! May as well crank the tunage.

That song believe it or not, I think I have due to kids soundtracks. I'm annoyed that the steppenwolf/bto/meatloaf/acdc classic rock CDs have been misplaced in a move somewhere...
Arctic Monkeys remind me of the White Stripes for some reason, except, well, british. Then again, they also sound familiar just because.

Since lee hyori was born in 1979, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was released in 1968, I don't think so...

Also, I might just buy that Foster the People album. Fun, and I never knew that was who that was!

Also, Andi... 7 more posts until you're at 7,777...

The Fine Art of Surfacing by the Boomtown Rats.
I loved this album in the 80's, when I was a wee lad, and it still stands up as a classic record. The remastered version is outstanding, as well, despite me normally despising remastered versions of albums dear to my heart.
