Gadling's Friday travel tunes - episode 8
Jun 11th, 2010 at 4:00PM:
Welcome to the eighth episode of our Friday travel tunes. We are a mere ten days away from Summer, even though the temperatures today would trick me into thinking we are in the middle of it.
Today's lineup is another big mix of tunes and artists - I'm keeping my fingers crossed there is at least one track you can appreciate. And remember - if you think my taste in music sucks, feel ...
Gadling's Travel Tunes - episode 7

If the temperature is any kind of indication, I'd say summer arrived early this year. And for me, summer is when I refresh my playlist to a more upbeat assortment of music. In today's episode of Travel Tunes you'll find a bit of everything - from The Pretty Reckless, all the way to the soothing tunes of Katie Melua.
Hopefully you've got some travel coming up, but if not, grab a cold ...
Gadling's Friday Travel Tunes - Episode 6
May 21st, 2010 at 2:30PM:
I've recently found myself in the midst of quite a few road trips, and nothing helps the miles go by like fantastic tunes. And beautiful scenery, of course. This week, I've rounded up some of my favorite jams to keep humming in the background while cruising around America's finest scenic byways, and it just so happens that every single one of them relates directly to travel. Some might say ...
Gadling's Travel Tunes - Episode 6 (reader submission time!)
May 14th, 2010 at 4:00PM:
Our travel tunes lineup for this week comes from reader Tony - when we asked readers to drop us a note with their own playlist, I hadn't expected to receive such an awesome assortment of tunes. Thanks Tony!
So, as is required on a Friday, grab a drink, sit back, and relax to these tunes - and think of travel!
(Apologies for the duplicate tunes, Grooveshark has been having some ...
Gadling's Friday Travel Tunes - episode 5
May 7th, 2010 at 4:00PM:
Still enjoying our weekly dose of travel tunes? My lineup for today includes a mix of several styles of music, along with a couple of current hits. These are all heavily played on my iPhone/Zune/Archos, and are the kind of tunes that put me in the mood to travel.
Next week, we'll have the first of (hopefully) many reader submitted playlists. But for now, pop on your headphones, crank ...
Gadling's Friday Travel Tunes - Episode 4
Apr 23rd, 2010 at 2:30PM:
A good music playlist, like a good trip, changes pace from along the way. The initial frenetic energy generated by the anticipation and adrenaline that initiates a trip is followed by a calming lull as you catch your breath and begin to settle into your new surroundings. As your trip meanders in unexpected directions, your music should accompany you like a good friend.
At the end of your ...
Gadling's Friday Travel Tunes - Episode 3
Apr 16th, 2010 at 2:30PM:
Our Friday Travel Tunes series continues this week with nine songs that'll help make even the longest bus or plane ride feel, well, not quite so long. This playlist (the perfect cure for your "Landlocked Blues") features Swedish songwriters Jens Lekman and Kristoffer Ragnstam, the UK band Florence and the Machine, and several American acts like Bright Eyes, The Decemberists, and the Bon ...
Gadling's Friday Travel Tunes - Episode 2
Mar 26th, 2010 at 4:30PM:
I'm told that my taste in music skews towards the minimalist side -- a matter that has been a point of contention in more than a few relationships in my life. Quieter tunes, however, can still serve a road trip well.
For me, the perfect road trip music isn't necessarily the loudest, classic rock station that I can sing to at the top of my lungs with the windows down. Though it's good to ...

Last week we debuted our new feature Friday Travel Tunes, in which we share some of our favorite travel-related and international songs. This week's playlist contains everything from US/Cambodian psychedelic pop ("Tiger Phone Card") to Swedish indie pop ("The Opposite of Hallelujah") to English folk ("Little Lion Man").
Just don't make the mistake of listening to Andrew Bird's great song ...

Today we are going to try out something new - and share some travel tunes to help ease you into the weekend.
In this very first (zero edition), I've picked an all UK lineup. Not necessarily because American music is bad (I'll admit that I occasionally listen to Taylor Swift!), but because I've often found British music to be the best for traveling.
Tell us in the comments what you ...
