Soundtrack

So, here is what I listened to on my trip

Bob Dylan, The Times They are a Changin'
Driving out my driveway in DE toward Baltimore

Springsteen, Born to Run
Through DC area

Joanna Newsom, Y's
Swan Lake, Beast Moans
Grizzly Bear, Yellow House
Through Tennessee

Willie Nelson
Hank Williams, Sr.
Oklahoma City to Amarillo, TX

Arvo Part, Fur Alina
Sufjan Stevens, Seven Swans
Driving through the Texas panhandle the morning after the ice storm stranded me

Paul Simon, assorted
Through Arizona

Yo La Tengo, I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One
I listened to this twice, the first time driving into the Mojave desert and the second driving from Sacramento toward the border of Oregon. Both times, I pressed play as the sun dipped below the horizon for the night. This is the perfect album for this time of day.

The Killers, Sam's Town
After night fell driving across the Mojave desert

M. Ward, Transistor Radio
Through southern Oregon

I also listened to Siddhartha by Herman Hesse, and Tortilla Flat by John Steinbeck, which I took out from the library in DE and just mailed back today. Each of those ate up about 7 hours a piece.
