It's about time for me to take a wee bit of a road trip. Help me out by suggesting some of your favorite songs for long drives, if you'd be so kind.

Hmm. I tend to think more in terms of good albums to take along, where good = eminently singable. Some examples:

Across the Universe and Are You Shakespearienced? by Trip Shakespeare
Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet
Just about any of my Steeleye Span albums
Any of my Whitlams albums (go buy their albums! :-)

Girlfriend by Matthew Sweet

I have been listening to that on infinite repeat for the last couple of days (once I got over the Too Much Joy album on the other side of the tape *grin*). It's making me all nostalgic for one of my college boyfriends, whose roommate gave me a copy of that cd, and I'm trying to remember why it is that we broke up, anyway. =)

...that should be The Lion and the Cobra by Sinead O'Connor. Not sure why that didn't turn out as I'd typed it originally.

From the email, it was missing the "i>". =) Great album. =)

Speaking of Voltaire, have you heard "Ex-Lover's Lover"? If not, I can send you an mp3.
Also fun to sing loudly in the car. ;)

Ah, that would do it. 'S what I get for staying up too late. :)

I haven't heard that song, and I would love to hear it. The only Voltaire I know so far is what I got off MP3.com when you mentioned his Trek parodies. "Dead Girls" is a bloody brilliant song; the music makes me want to twirl around the room in a swirly dress with a rose between my teeth. :)
