Songs to drive to
So Stacey's post about music for walking totally made me want to make my own list, and since I'm being self-indulgent and wasting the entire day anyway, here's my list of songs that give me that happy expansive feeling when I'm making the 2 hour drive to Sag Harbor by myself, and singing along:
"It's Oh So Quiet" - Bjork
Reminds me of the ads for Sex and the City with the red baloons.
"Girl" - Beck
My current favorite.
"American Music" - Violent Femmes
Gives me great nostalgia (for pumpkin picking, bizarrely.)
"Working Undercover" - They Might Be Giants
So hard to pick from TMBG.
"I Saw a Bird Fly Away" - Dar Williams
"Golden Years" - David Bowie
"Flagpole Sitta" - Harvey Danger
"Long-Forgotten Fairytale" - The Magnetic Fields
I might never have discoverd them if not for Sims Online. how tragic that would have been.
"Bizarre Love Triangle" - New Order
"Sparkle" - Phish
"Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk" - Rufus Wainwright
"Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)" - Squeeze
Great Virginia Beach memories.
"Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" - Stevie Wonder
One of my all time favorites, reminds me of working at Black Cat Books.
"Doctor Worm" - They Might be Giants
"Milbrook" - Rufus Wainwright
"Summertime" - The Sundays
Possibly the happiest song ever.
"Do Your Thing" Basement Jaxx
From the Bend it Like Beckham soundtrack.
"The Luckiest Guy On The Lower East Side" - The Magnetic Fields
"14th Street" - Rufus Wainwright
"The Good Life" - Weezer
"Mixed Bizness" - Beck
"The Last of the Famous Interational Playboys" - Morrisey
