Day 41 of Marriage
Day 4 of Blogging
You would think that a pair of married musicians would go out and buy some new music, put together some new mixes on the ol' iPod, or in some other way prepare for a road trip with music.
You would think that, but you would be wrong. Apparently, the way that married musicians travel is by listening to an audiobook of Walden by Henry David Thoreau. If that gets old, we have some podcasts of NPR's "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me." We must be getting old...
Anyway, we're driving to Minnesota today to celebrate our marriage a second time. A second reception, with our family members from the North who were unable to attend the wedding itself. It promises to be quite the shindig.
And for the drive, we'll have a manly Transcendentalist crooning in our ears... and maybe a new Florence and the Machine album.
What's your favorite road trip music?
-Mr.
depends on where i'm driving to. When i went to the Upper Peninsula, i listened to Sufjan Steven's "Michigan" album, which was absolutely perfect for the scenery, as well as being amazing because i would be hearing songs about towns i was driving through.
ReplyDeleteDriving through the plains outside of the Rockies, Radiohead was very surreal.
and sometimes you just want to rock really hard. I'll take whatever has the most raw energy. White Stripes make frequent appearances.
Have fun in MN!
