Road Trip!!!

In about a month, Erik and I are traveling up to Canada for a little end of summer vaca. He's been doing a show and I just started my job, so there wasn't really a convenient time to go earlier. We already have tickets for two shows at Stratford (we're nerds) and we're also planning on visiting Toronto, Niagra Falls and just spending some good ol' time together.

Since the drive is about 7-and-a-half-ish hours long (there and back), I've been trying to put together a really great road trip playlist to download legally since most of our music is showtunes, Alanis Morrisette and Dashboard Confessional (we all feel emo sometimes). Here's what I have so far:

Jessie's Girl - Rick Springfield
Livin on a Prayer - Bon Jovi
Our House - Madness
How Far We've Come - Matchbox 20
Who Knew - Pink
Somebody Told Me - The Killers
Life is a Highway - Tom Cochrane
Bohemian Raphsody - Queen
Respect - Aretha Franklin
I Can't Get No - The Rolling Stones
Dirty Little Secret - All American Rejects
It's the End of the World - REM
American Pie - Don McLean
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Closing Time - Semisonic
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
If I Had a Million Dollars - Barenaked Ladies
Run Around - Blues Traveler

I Can't Help Myself - The Four Tops
99 Red Balloons - Goldfinger
Your Song - Elton John
I Wanna Hold Your Hand - The Beatles
Hotel California - The Eagles
I Would Walk 500 Miles - The Proclaimers
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty
Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Don't Stop Believin' - Journey
Why Georgia - John Mayer
California - Phantom Planet

Ok, that's a lot. I basically just wanted a bunch of songs that we both know and will sing at the top of our lungs while driving in order to keep ourselves entertained/awake. Making this list made me realize 3 things:

1. I should have probably started downloading these, like, yesterday.
2. I didn't know the artists of a lot of songs I feel like I should have known.
and
3. I still second-guess myself when it comes to capitalizing words in titles...

and I probably always will.

YAY ROADTRIP! CAN'T WAIT!
