Mix ~ My Baby Loves To Drive Fast
Heather (from I AM FUEL...) put together a double disc of driving music. I made this mix for my wife, who likes to drive fast. Figured now’s a good time to share as driving music is whizzing thru the blogsphere.
It’s a nice collection of tunes that goes from Latin to mashup to “heavy metal” back to Latin, some smooth electronic, then toss in some hippity-hop and finish off with a Minnesota classic (yes, I am a Gearhead).
Sidebar: Is there anything worse than driving to work on slushy/salt-drenched roads when you’re out of windshield washer fluid, when the gas-guzzling SUV in front of you sprays salt-water onto your car and your vision is completely obscured by that white residue?

Hey Duke,
Can't wait to hear this. I'm sending out good vibes today and just wanted to say I love your blog and you are great!!!
Anna
No Ric Okasek and company?
You also left out "Car" by Built to Spill... that track always gets me to revvin' the motor.
Hey, I just came across a song on an old CD I burned that I think I may have downloaded from here... but Google searching the lyrics and the possible band name is getting me nowhere. Could you tell me if the opening lyrics to the song 'By The Way' by Ballyho (or any other song you recognize) are "Tell me you got time and I got love but will you ever have enough?" and if the chorus is "I'm doin' just fine without you / just fine without you / just fine without you / oh by the way"
Thank you! This is driving me nuts.
MER -
That is indeed "By The Way' by Ballyho. I used to know the singer - Leon back when he was in Tuna Zen Trio in Winona, MN. Like Tuna Zen, this band no longer is together.
The Duke
