One of my friends recently packed his car and took off for a city 9 hours away. It was the latest installment of what I call the Mass Exodus of 2013, in which all my friends move away. But that’s another blog post.

I wanted to make him a mixed CD for the road, because I am just that cheesy. But also because I think the best part of a good road trip is the music.

But alas, my MacBook STILL has that copy of Food Inc. stuck in the CD drive. It’s been, like, a year and I never even got to watch it.
I know you didn’t ask, but here’s what would have been on that CD. All of these songs are newish to me. A lot of them I discovered using iTunes Radio. (If you haven’t updated yet, iOS 7 is worth it, if only for iTunes Radio, in my opinion).

Let me know if I left something good off the list.

1. Matt Wertz “What I know right Now”
2. Bastille “Pompeii”
3. Lorde “Royals”
4. The Family Crest  “Love don’t go.”
5. Vance Joy “Riptide”
6. Ryan Adams “Lucky Now”
7. One Republic “I lived”
8. Jason Isbell “Traveling Alone”
9. The Avett Brothers “Another is Waiting”
10. Neulore “Shadow of a man”
11. Ivan & Alyosha “Don’t wanna die anymore”
12. Lee Dewyze “Like I do.”
13. Jared and the Mill “Breathe me in”
14. Avicii “Wake me up”
15. Passenger “Let her go”
16. Vienna Teng “Whatever you want”
