Drift Away – Dobie Gray
18 December 2019
When I fell asleep last night, I hadn’t expected to add Dobie Gray’s “Drift Away” to my Music to Play in Your Vintage Mustang playlist. While I had already decided to add two songs before finishing off this year, it was The Velvet Underground’s “Oh! Sweet Nuthin” that had assured a spot on the playlist before traveling into the next decade…

Sometimes, as you power along in your pony with only the open road ahead, you start to pay attention to certain elements of whatever songs are keeping you company…

It’s Getting Boring by the Sea – Blood Red Shoes
3 December 2019
Choosing “It’s Getting Boring by the Sea,” from 2008 album Box of Secrets by alt rock duo Blood Red Shoes may seem like a cheeky statement following three awesome surf songs…
Deluxe Electric Ninja Mistress – Daikaiju
26 November 2019
Daikaiju’s “Deluxe Electric Ninja Mistress” sounds more like the name of a sex toy (um, a curiously kinky one, I might add; if any Bad Dragon people are reading this, give me a call) than the title of a surf song…

19 November 2019
You’re itching to go faster, but we’re sticking close to the coast for another week with Little Barrie’s “Surf Hell” (King of the Waves, 2012)…
St. Nazaire – Pixies
12 November 2019
Pixies’ Beneath the Eyrie is just about as great an album as the first one I bought — Doolittle (1989) — after pinching together enough pennies while working as a waitress and paying my way through university…
Be Alright – The Dandy Warhols
31 October 2019
From their 2019 album Why You So Crazy, the plucky piano in this back-to-the-roots single by the Dandy Warhols is the perfect transition from Link Wray’s “Right Turn.”…
Right Turn – Link Wray
31 October 2019
“Right Turn” isn’t exactly a vintage Mustang-era-defining song. It’s not even rock ‘n’ roller Link Wray’s most defining piece from his band’s 1960 self-titled debut album, Link Wray & The Wraymen. In fact, similar to his rebel-rousing “Rumble,” which earned the Shawnee guitarist the title Father of the Power Chord, and the distinction of being the first-ever instrumental song censored off U.S. radio, this single is from 1958 — four years before Mustang was a sperm (or egg) of a thought…
I’ve set-off around the world a few times as a digital nomad. My favorite places are off-the-beaten-path spaces. I enjoy good food, although I’m a sucker for trying anything once. Discovering new music and artists is a passion, but I adore retro tracks and nostalgic songs. Whether fueled by imagination, or anchored in the real world, I live for adventure, especially when set to the beat of diverse and eclectic playlists.
Ready. Set. Join me on a sonic adventure!
