This weekend’s road trip sees me finally returning to my ancestral homelands of shrimp cocktail, direct-to-your-door strippers, & UFOs: Las Vegas!
However, it’s almost 1,500 miles. Towing a trailer. Hauling my dog & assorted cats who hate being locked up, and will certainly turn my truck into a rolling hell as they fill the cab with screams & farts. As excited as I am to finally return home, I’m not looking forward to this exhausting-ass trip.
So, that’s where you come in! Yes you, dear readers! I need some tunes for this road trip, and I want your suggestions!
What tunes do you recommend? What works for you to pass the time & stay upbeat/awake? I’ve got hours & hours of driving ahead and want suggestions for my road trip playlist. Granted now, please understand that I will already have a cacophony of angry pets, so a 10-hour loop of screaming goats will not be listened to...in its entirety.
But take note, I still want to know your music choices. There is no restruction on genre. Country, rap, folk, kawaito, dance, metal, pop, Brit pop, blues, alternative, southern rock, whatever. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be in English. There is almost nothing I don’t listen to. They can be sad songs, happy songs, political, etc. You can also choose a theme. Vegas, Texas, the states I pass through, a mood, or even a theme that’s has a deeper meaning. It can even be a cover of a song, I don’t care. The only requirement is that it actually has to be something YOU yourself would listen to on your own road trip. You. So if you wouldn’t actually listen to kids bop covers of Rebecca Black, then it’s not a serious submission. Once this whole pilgrimage is over, I’ll try and compose a list of what all we have.
I want to know what’s in your play lists so that I can put them to the test on that great American past time of driving great distances; the road trip!

I mean, do you want to get more obscure? Because we can totally go there.

The goal isn’t explicitly to be obscure. It’s just meant to be a song you enjoy listening to while driving. If the driving song in question happens to be obscure, that’s perfectly fine.

Last road trip I listened to a mixtape (Yes I’m still rocking the AM/FM stereo cassette) of different versions of Ghost Riders in the Sky. It was actually very good.

While in Texas I recommend:
Robert Earl Keene (start with “The Party Never Ends” if he’s new to you)
Stevie Ray Vaughn
Ian Moore (Satisfied, How Does It Feel)
Willie Nelson (you’ll need to loop “On The Road Again” at least 4 times)
Pat Green (Carry On)
Once you’re in west Texas, load up on coffee, speed up to about 80 and go with straight Metallica (especially their cover of Bob Seger’s “Turn the Page”)
Throw in some Nathaniel Rateliff, Alabama Shakes, and that Taylor Swift song with the screaming goats and you’re set
