I’ve been inadvertently jamming to a few travel-related songs this week. Clearly it’s a sign to pack my bags and hit the long, dusty road. A wise traveler can’t go on ignoring such obvious signs. The universe works in mysterious ways, as you are well aware.
Thing is, most of these songs aren’t necessarily about traveling. They just mention mileage, or Greyhound buses, or being a long way from home, or what have you. I said wise traveler, which we all know I am not.
Still, it’s a sign, damn it!
I do have one travel-related question for you. Which headphones do you use when you’re on the road? Just curious. Me? Sony Noise Canceling MDR-NC7. They’re foldable. And they come with a sweet pouch.
Anyway, enjoy the tunes. Happy Friday. And maybe even Happy Travels.
“Five Thousand Miles,” Zigitros
“Lonesome, On’ry, and Mean,” Waylon Jennings
“Long Way Home,” Old Friend Band
“Jamaica,” Theme Park
“Venice,” The Lighthouse and The Whaler
“East,” Last Japan
“Shades of Funk,” Kill Paris
And finally…
“San Pedro,” Mogwai
I always love hearing new music. Like the outdoors, it’s good for the soul. I love Eddie Vedder’s Rise. It always makes me want to get out there. Thank you for your post!
Big fan of the track Rise myself! In fact, that whole album is really good.
Yes, it is! I hope you are able to get out there soon! The universe is calling!
Jam on, Eric! You get me pumped up to go on an adventure when I visit! I always pack up my old radio and take it with me. It has two rechargeable batteries and that’s usually good enough for me.
Turn up those jams White Lady!
Hey Eric! Do you have any posts on backcountry camping food (dehydrated meals that you make yourself)? Looking for some good recipes
Suggestions? Thanks!!
Hey Cafe! I do have one post on backcountry camping food: http://ericmurtaugh.com/2012/02/04/fine-dining-is-possible-in-the-backcountry/
Backcountry Thanksgiving is really easy, and really good (at least I think it’s good). It’s especially tasty after a long hike.
I have a bunch of magazine clippings with backcountry recipes on them. I can dig them up if you’re interested. There’s a lot of good ones in there.
Hey Eric! Thanks for this. No need to go to the trouble of digging up the recipes, we’re basically at crunch time and will prob be finalizing the menu tonight. Will check out your post later for sure!
