a cd-r for airplanes & airports

not songs about travel so much as songs for between destinations - limbo/purgatory type songs - melancholy maybe but more reassuringly so than not, and maybe a little uncool - here's what I've got so far:

dylan - all the tired horses
faces - you can make me dance, you can make me sing
roxy music - more than this
the cure - friday I'm in love
the replacements - if only you were lonely
john lennon - watching the wheels (acoustic demo)
the miracles - keep on pushin
the supremes - funny how time slips away
donny hathaway - jealous guy
hank williams - rockin chair money

any suggestions?

I listened to "More Than This while I was waiting and on the plane as well.

how was it? it seems quite airporty to me.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Saturday, 27 December 2003 21:48 (twenty-one years ago)

I liked it. I remember waiting in the airport all impatient and then I started listening to that. I sat down in a chair and just looked at everything. It calmed me down.

Yeah, Avalon is the perfect travelling cd. I love walking through airports with it. Oh, and once I listened to it will laying out on the deck of a crusie ship. That was Bliss.

Also, Eno-music for airports, eh, eh?

another great experience was listening the Spiritualized - Pur Phase While looking out an airplane window at all the mountains and small trees and clouds below.

I don't really care what I listen to as long as it's something I enjoy.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 27 December 2003 22:04 (twenty-one years ago)

do you care if you enjoy it?

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 27 December 2003 22:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes. That's the only thing I care about when I choose what I am going to listen too.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 27 December 2003 22:25 (twenty-one years ago)

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 27 December 2003 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, same here, but sometimes I like to listen to stuff I don't enjoy to find out why, or maybe to see if I really do enjoy it.

― A Nairn (moretap), Saturday, 27 December 2003 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I do give some songs a second chance.

I listened to Music For Airports in an airport once and it was actually really cool.. it helped that it was like 5.30am.. there have got to be some interesting stories about listening to that record in an airport somewhere, ahem...

Wondering around an airport in Amsterdam listening to "November Rain" was a religious experience for me, as I think I've mentioneed else-thread

Well there was one time I lisened to this album on a plane because the first few songs were louder and the rest were almost acoustic and I really wanted to fall asleep.

misty dixon 'are you lost?' might be appropriate.

Last trip playlist that I have on my ipod:

Sweet Song, Blur
I think I'm in Love, Spiritualized
My Wandering Days are Over, Belle & Sebastian
Boston & St Johns, Great Big Sea
In Between Days, Ben Folds
No Better Place, Fountains of Wayne
With or Without You, U2
Sail to the Moon, Radiohead

The Great Big Sea song is too sad,but fitting anyway. Also, I've been meaning to put Eno's Music for Airports on my ipod, I should pull it out before trip next week & see how it fits EWR.

"Airport Man" from R.E.M.'s Up.

― David A. (Davant), Monday, 29 December 2003 22:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh yeah, so does that mean "Learn to Fly" should be on there too?

― Aja (aja), Monday, 29 December 2003 22:55 (twenty-one years ago)

sitting in the park - quix*o*tic
some velvet moring - nancy sinatra & lee hazlewood
who knows where the time goes - fairport convention
jeane, if you're ever in portland - casiotone for the painfully alone

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 29 December 2003 23:09 (twenty-one years ago)

also, debris by the faces.

― lauren (laurenp), Monday, 29 December 2003 23:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Wow Lauren, I was going to suggest 'Who Knows Where the Time Goes' by Fairport Convention too.

How about "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is" by Chicago? The ironing is delicious.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 29 December 2003 23:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Future Sound of London - "Domain"
