I love to travel. I'm not a huge fan of getting there by plane... but there's few feelings in the world that can top packing up the car and hitting the road. And of course, no road trip would be complete without music. In response to my last post in which I asked people to share their favorite roadtrip worthy songs, Jenxer wrote "for some reason, being in the car gives me a reason to listen to my music really really loud." I couldn't agree more. In the car, I want to be completely surrounded by the music, such that it totally drowns out every sound of the car, the traffic, etc. Of course, some songs lend themselves better to that than others. Here are some of my favorite traveling music:

[url=siouxsie and the banshees]Siouxsie and the Banshees:[/url] Peek-a-boo!
Although... this time around, I have to admit that I listened almost exclusively to my new obsession, a band called [url=http://www.azureraymusic.com/...]Azure Ray. [/url] I plan on reviewing their latest CD for LT, but in the meantime, [url=http://www.pitchforkmedia.com...]here is a review [/url] from Pitchfork about their debut that seems right on the money to me. Also, the latest issue of [url=http://www.pastemagazine.com/...]PASTE[/url] includes a sampler with an Azure Ray track as well. (Although I think I would have picked a different track, myself). Perfectly lovely stuff this is. Go check it out...

azure ray is a pretty cool band. it's neat that we like a lot of the same type of music, call me crazy but you'd be easy to fall in love with.
