imagine u have a shitty old car that doesn’t have Bluetooth so pick 7 albums u play on CD!! (Or tape!!!)
thank u for tagging me in this, @kaaaaaaarf!! i actually do have a shitty old car that the bluetooth barely works in, so i can give y’all 7 CDs i actually have in my car right now!
1. digital ash in a digital urn - bright eyes // my all-time fave bright eyes album, this is what i put on when i have a long drive and really need to play something beginning to end. when i was in high school i put the CD booklet inside the clear cover of my binder and thought i was very cool 😌
2. rumors - fleetwood mac // i feel like this one is self-explanatory. everyone on earth who drives a car should have this on deck.
3. deja entendu - brand new // perhaps the most perfect emo album of all time, in heavy rotation in the summer when i have all the windows down but also perfect for driving at night all year long.
4. this desert life - counting crows // my hot take is that this is their best album, but that’s probably the nostalgia talking. perfect background noise if i’ve got friends in the car and we’re yapping.
5. gold - ABBA // this is the best album to play after leaving the bar/club, or when i need a pick-me-up after a really long day.
6. lonely runs both ways - alison krauss // a lot of y’all will be surprised to know how much i love country music and bluegrass, but most of my car CDs fall somewhere adjacent to those genres. a comfort listen <3
7. hot fuss - the killers // a truly perfect album, and a universal crowd pleaser to both anyone in my car and to drivers around me when i have the windows down. great for singing along as loud as possible!
