MIXTAPE! Vol.1 The Travel

MIXTAPE! Vol.1 The Travel

So I thought I'd shake things up a bit around here by making the first My World Tour Mixtape. Inspired by the upcoming 4 hours of travel to-and-from today's Fat As Butter festival, I've decided to theme this one around the travel we do to reach festivals.

Albeit a 20 minute train ride to a sport's park, a 2-day road trip "up the coast" or a day-long intercontinental plane ride to a "big" international festival, transport plays a big part in the overall festival experience. I chose these songs because they all touch on something that brings us back to the ways we travel round and round, eventually halting where we need to (and sometimes don't want to) be. The sadness (Back on the Motorway), the adventure(SuffragetteCity) the trials and tribulations (99 anthems) and the "drive into the sunset" (All The Way To Reno)

1. Night Boat To Cairo - Madness
2. The Loco-Motion - Kylie Minogue
3. Kick, Push - Lupe Fiasco
4. 99 Anthems - Jaydiohead (Jay-Z vs. Radiohead)
5. Farewell Rocketship - Children Collide
6. Travelling Without Moving - Jamiroquai
7. Wooden Ships - Dappled Cities
8. Suffragette City - David Bowie
9. Take The Long Road And Walk It - The Music
10. Back On The Motorway - Metronomy
11. Run Run Run - Phoenix
12. All The Way To Reno - R.E.M.

EDIT:As user smalliebigs noted, this isn't my intellectual property. So while I welcome you to download (mixtapes are BIG part of internet music culture. Even Miss Anti-Piracy Lily Allen has done it in the past!), please support the artists through any and every means possible, especially the smaller Australian ones who really do need our help! :D

You win me with the Bowie inclusion!

Wh-wh-wh-whats it all about

nice list personally would have to take kylie off because it would drive me mental, but the rest are good

SWEET

that is a mix tape alright - a very mixed bag!

two things though: phoenix is spelt phoenix not pheonix and are we allowed to do this? good idea but i dunno.. isn't it copyright infringement or something?
