Well I'm getting my first car within the next couple weeks, and to celebrate, I'm already making a "cruisin mix" CD, something I've been wanting to do for a while. I've already got some stuff together from my mp3 collection, but I want more. It's kind of hard to describe what I'm looking for.....kind of a musical consistency between the songs, and not so much a lyrical consistency (well, no lyrical consistency whatsoever actually). Basically, stuff that's kind of ambient, more mellow-like cruisin music, as opposed to cruisin music that "pumps you up". Stuff that's more instrumental-based is preferred. To give you an idea of the range of stuff I already have, I've got U2 "Where the Streets Have No Name", Brian Eno "An Ending [Ascent]", Dirty Vegas "Days Go By acoustic" (yeah I know it was used in that Mitsubishi ad or whatever....I still think it's a good cruisin song), Air "Playground Love instrumental", Church "Under the Milkyway live '98", Radiohead "Talkshow Host", even the song "End of Small Sanctuary" from the Silent Hill 3 soundtrack....and a bunch of electronica/trip-hoppish stuff that you probably haven't heard of, and a couple sort of melodic and laid-back rap songs. It's going to be kind of tough arranging these so it flows well, but I'll manage.
Anyways, any individual song suggestions? Must be stuff available on iTunes, though.
