i get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine: a travel mix

Artist Song
elvis presley  viva las vegas 
dionne warwick  do you know the way to san jose? 
gladys night and the pips  midnight train to georgia 
kansas  carry on my wayward son 
boston  more than a feeling 
phantom planet  california 
the dismemberment plan  the ice of boston 
team dresch  growing up in springfield 
mission of burma  that's when i reach for my revolver 
cub  new york city 
sex pistols  new york 
los angeles 
sleater-kinney  light rail coyote 
groovie ghoulies  island of pogo pogo 
the ramones  rockaway beach 
dead kennedys  california uber alles 
big black  texas 
atom and his package  philadelphia 
murray head  one night in bangkok 

Comment:

i would have put this under the road trip category but it isn't really a road trip mix. if you haven't already guessed, each song contains the name of a place in either the band name or the song title. you may be wondering why the sleater-kinney song is there. well, the light rail is the public transportation system in portland and sleater and kinney is apparently the intersection where the band's original practice space was located. i feel that counts sufficiently. transistions are hot (hehe, gladys night to kansas...) and i don't necessarily like all these songs but it serves its purpose. the title is from "one night in bangkok"

I was flying to LA once, and i had packed my cds far away in my carry-on, so i just turned on my cd player and pressed play w/o knowing what cd was inside. and it was phantom planet - california. o, yeah, baby.


ps i totally approve of this CD infact, i love it.

This is the best mix I have seen. Brilliant choices, very clever, lots of fun. You should do this for a living.
