    It is impossible to think of edge-of-the-word fireworks stands, Montana big skies, the overwhelming expanse of Interstate-70, and pit-stop picnics without Jens Lekman.

    Fav road trip music:

    Almost anything that has a great beat, so it’s usually bands like Jazzanova, Supreme Beings of Leisure, Portishead, Morcheeba, Coheed & Cambria, Escala, Puscifer and Björk.

    Sometimes, I prefer classic West Coast Jazz ala David Brubeck. The cool chaos of great jazz keeps me wideawake.
    PuscifGuðmundsdóttir [ˈpjœr̥k ˈkvʏðmʏntsˌtoʊhtɪr] ( listen
    If my focus is on thinking about writing projects while I drive (yes, I do that, & often) then it’s all about soundtrack music, from James Newton Howard to Hans Zimmer.

    If I’m on a road-trip with friends, and it’s strictly for pleasure, then I usually let them pick the tunes, and then it runs anywhere. Kenny Wayne Sheppard, Robin Trower, Natalie Merchant, Audioslave, The Crystal Method, Infected Mushroom, etc.

    Obviously there’s no better road trip jam than Tom Cochrane’s ‘Life is a Highway’. It’s just not American to go on a long car trip without listening to it.

    “Life is a Highwaaaay….I want to ride it allll night loooong”

    I like to listen to music that hasn’t even been invented yet.
