I've had some success acquiring much of what you recommend, including the Ricky Gervais, Belle and Sebastian, Duran Duran, Prince, (and The Cars, b/c I just loved "Heartbeat City" back in the day), New Pornographers, Joanna Newsom, and Fischerspooner. (Sorry, Cathy, but I just couldn't do the Huey Lewis. I tried. Really, but... sorry.) Sadly, the <a href="http://www.allofmp3.com/" rel="nofollow">Russian mafia</a> doesn't seem to have heard of Andrew Bird or many of the others that have been suggested and I only buy from the iTMS as a last resort (hate hate hate the DRM!) so perhaps I will actually visit a record store. Or perhaps I should just be happy w/what I have for a while, which is awesome stuff. Thank you all for the great suggestions! p.s. to care: You know I will try! (to write, that is) Thanks everyone!

Within three listens you will be swaying and singing along. I have also just discovered a band called Metric; download "Succexy" and I guarantee you will be hooked.

I also loved Architecture in Helsinki's "In Case we Die;" however this may be a bit too chipper and energetic for such long ride. Older stuff: you already have Joanna Newsom's lyrically and musically brilliant "The Milk-Eyed Mender," right? (you will love it or detest it, especially her strange voice). And Erin McKeown's subtle and smart post folk/big band "Distillation" (and "Grand")? If you like the electronic stuff, I am not ashamed to be keen on either Ladytron (_Light and Magic_, esp.) or Fischerspooner's "Odyssey." These however will make you drive too fast.

Prince is excellent for road trips, you know Scissor Sisters (( I guess I should just make you a bunch of CDs. Just say the word. )) For the quiet times: Jose Gonzalez--Veneer Damien Rice--O Lali Puna--Faking the Books so, when you move to the Land Without DSL, will you write me letters? xoxo For the energetic moments:

If you want to check out a song try "Bump." Since it's such a long drive, you should download the 2 Ricky Gervais podcasts- 9 hours of pee yourself funny.

But of course my recommendation would be anything by Huey Lewis and the News. Huey'll be your new neighbor, you know... (In all seriousness, try out Plan B. Not a huge commercial hit, but very strong musically with lots of blues and upbeat R&B and such running through it.)) Southern Pacific’s Zuma album is a great roadtrip record.
