Top Five Songs To Get You Moving
No, I don't mean songs for the perfect road trip, but those tunes which inspire you to get the atlas out, hot foot it down to the library to grab the latest guidebook, and then plan your eventual visit to the actual destination.
Forget articles and photos. I'm just as inspired to visit these places (for the first or second time) after hearing these songs.
- NYC by Interpol
- Big Sur by The Thrills
- Anchorage by Michelle Shocked
- Sin City by Gram Parsons
- Summer in Siam by The Pogues
Any more nominations for songs which capture your favourite (past and future) destinations?
I took the pic of Koh Mak in eastern Thailand, just not in summer.

The blues classic, of course- Alberta.

"Anchorage" is a favorite of mine... I'm so glad you included it on your list.

Wow, I completely forgot about the Thrills until now. Got a chance to seem the live a few years back. Great show!

Oh and for some reason "Could Well Be In" by the Streets always gets me in the mood for travel.
