It's been sitting here, along with about 4 other movie reviews, so I figure I'll break up the monotony of my reviews (The Little Children review was awesome, but the internet crashed and lost it all) I decided to write up the musical selections that accompanied me on my journey.
Notes to consider- I had to listen to the CD in it's entirety. I COULD repeat songs, but I could not skip them. Those are the rules. Stupid, I realize, but that's why you love me.
Because of the 6 CD changer, I decided to group my selections by a vaguley common thread. Those are the headers atop. I have some comments about certain CDs (see deez nuts!) that will appear. Enjoy.
First Leg- The Classic Starters:
Radiohead - Kid A
Cypress Hill - Black Sunday
White Stripes - White Blood Cells

Radiohead - Amnesiac
However, due to the fact that I was pretty crazy at the very end, I decided to repeat track 2 of Dark and Long, entitled Thing in a Book, for the remainder of the trip. The song is 20 minutes long, and it repeated 6 times by the time I finally made it home. I was definitely a little loopy by the end.
There you have it. Klosterman I am not, but I'm ok with that.
More reviews coming soon, including The Prestige, The Departed and Running With Scissors. And Stranger Than Fiction, if we make it in time today.

We all know that you listened to Todd Rundgren, so you might as well just confess it now-
-Hold Fast
-Brady
I didn't. I was cursing myself for not bringing the Rundgren. (Or the 5 disc Django Reinhardt collection, which would have been clutch).
However, on the Low Cool compilation, there was The Viking Song from Todd. And there was another album that had "Can We Still Be Friends".
Ok, you got me. I just listened to Rundgren the whole trip.
Up your irons,
Mike
