its summertime, lots of roadtrips.
you need music that accentuates the ride, and also keeps you awake.
its been awhile for me -- but i was always a fan of Screaming blue Messiahs for driving music.
but for driving around town upstate, i usually have something like Nightmares on Wax or Kruder & dorfmeister, because its got a groove and the lyrics are almost non existent.
my favorite song for late night driving is Pale Green Ghosts by John Grant.
there are dozens of remixes and they all make it that much more spooky.
the song feels like its achieves its opening lyric:
"Back then I often found myself
Driving on the road at night,
And the radio was broadcasting the ocean."
listen to this song, and you'll wish you were driving
what do you find to be your best road trip music and why?
Cant just be your favorite music - has to be what makes driving more enjoyable
(especially at night)

My moms art
When I was a kid my mom would do arts amd crafts. We had an entire basement full of crap. Projects she wanted to do. Tons of magazines that had projects in them. She would keep the whole magazine rather than tearing out the project.
We had old musical instruments. Violins clarinets and even a huge bass drum.
But my favorite project was this map of the world in which she took an ancient map of the world on a 5x7 card and blew It up to several feet. She used Elmer's glue to place shoe strings to lay out the lands. She put in crushed gravel and glass to fill in landmarks. If she saw a wreck she would rush over and grab the broken tail lights (they were made of glass then) and she even went to the city and got Some damaged tradfic light. glass. The green light is actually blue. She would put this glass in the oven and heat it up the put ice on it to crack it up further.
She also discovered the Dymo label maker.
After my mom passed my stepsister kept the map as she liked it and ...
Getting ready for this very special Independence Day. I’m more than grateful for everything we have and am extremely proud of our current commander in chief. Want it to never end, especially after being stuck/screwed with his fool of a predecessor. We the people are blessed, even those who can’t think for themselves and refuse to understand. 🇺🇸
