Playlist: Travel Through Your Tunes
Part of the brilliant thing about music is its ability to transport you anywhere; the past, future, your ex-boyfriend’s bed, graduation, drunken evenings in Cabo… Whatever. Just like scents, when certain songs climb into your ears they take you on a journey.
I’d like to make that journey a little more literal and give you some of my favorite city-specific tunes. Start packing the suitcase, this gypsy’s taking you with her!
1. Is It Safe- Matt Pond PA [let's go swimming in Philly]
2. Pachuca Sunrise- Minus the Bear
3. This Place is a Prison- The Postal Service [watch water "cascade down Puget Sound"]
4. Lubbock or Leave It- Dixie Chicks [take a trip back to Texas]
5. Lights- Journey [see the lights shine in San Fran]
6. Boston- Augustana
7. 8 Mile- Eminem [takes you to his hometown of Detroit]
8. La Cienega Just Smiled- Ryan Adams [takes you on a drive in Los Angeles]
9. Spanish Harlem- Aretha Franklin [takes you to NYC]
…You can also go to “Coney Island” with Deathcab For Cutie
10. Walking in Memphis- Marc Cohn
