Oh, had I but known ...

But don't worry. I'll be all over the Winter Mix.

I wanted to do this but didn't have a chance to convert my mix to MP3s (I keep most of my music in WMA format).

Next week, though, next week...

This is a fun idea. I'd like to get in on it.

So it's one CD uncompressed. I'll have to do some editting.

I will post mine when I get home from work. Although it's less driving/car/road related as far as titles and such, I think you'll enjoy it.

I was wonder if we could maybe change the day if we do this every week. Right now it conflicts with Photo Phriday. And my work connection is ripping faster than my home connection. It'd be nice to be able to download the mixes at work on Friday ready for the weekend.
posted by Mitheral 26 January | 22:22
So are you suggesting we do it Thursday (night)? I did it when I did because of my work schedule this week. I don't mind moving it.

Thanks to everyone who participated! I really truly expected to be the only one to play along.

Felix Betachat: We both had L.A. County at #3. Hmmm.
posted by mudpuppie 27 January | 02:48
Heh. Funny. Including it is not so strange, since it's pretty much the gold-standard for "taking a cross country road trip to shoot your ex on her wedding day" songs. But putting it at #3 is a little too weird.

I'm just glad I opted not to put the Modern Lovers' Roadrunner on my mix. Yours is way better.
posted by felix betachat 27 January | 08:21
Huh, I can't believe I left this song out of the mix: Let Momma Drive. I'll try to put a radio show together with everyone's mixes.

Did I misunderstand the assignment? Everone else's songs have something to do with driving or cars... I just picked the songs I most like to listen to while driving?

Damn! I forgot all about this.

I don't think so, it just happens that many of my driving songs are about driving. -> hopeless auto geek
