It helps me psychologically fit into the culture i'm in, instead of remaining isolated in my western music. I tend to buy local tapes and listen to those on a casette player instead. But more so,i've found that my favourite music just does'nt sound the same when i'm in a foriegn culture. The wind in your hair, and the "Raiders March" from Raiders of the Lost Ark,playing away.hehehe. It can be great speeding along in the back of an open backed pickup through mountains.
It's fairly neutral music so it can fit with all kinds of situations when travelling. So i tend to make a compilation disc from my many Cd's. That leaves no room for any jazz, any more orchestral, any more Yes, Rush, King Crimson, ELP, any funk, or Clapton or Winwood. I know for a fact I can fit more than FIVE! I can't go anywhere without Joni Mitchell's "Blue"!Ī: "The dummer drools out of both sides of his mouth."īy canaveralgumby on 25 December 2003 5:05am "How can you tell if the stage is level?" This isn't fair - I ALWAYS take more than 5 CDs with me on trips! I'm horrendous for taking far more CDs than I need! Okay, if Helen can pick more than 5 I wanna stick Pearl Jam, the Beatles and the Band in there too. Hmm this is a tricky one as it definately depends on who I'm with but just for sheer fun I would sayġ)Abba - it would be a greatest hits as the other I have are vinyl!Ģ)Moby - either of his last two, I think they are quite chilled for stressful situations.ģ) Crosby, Stills and Nash - Crosby, Stills and NashĤ) On the Beach - Neil Young (Sorry, can't live without it)
And I could then read MP`s sleeve notes :-) "The Traveling Wilburys" for one, certainly. Keola & Kapono Beamer - Honolulu City Lights. Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass - Christmas Album. If I were going to be in the Tall Tules, I'd probably pick instrumental works. Staying in a more urban locale, I'd probably stick to more popular/urban music. I think it depends on where I would be traveling.
