The music of from here to there

I have a rather large playlist on my iPhone that I listen to on my way to and from work. Some of the songs are more evocative of my commute than others. Here are:

Top 5 songs for my daily commute

1. "But Anyway," Blue Traveler

John Popper's gritty-yet-melodic harmonica goes nicely with the squeal of breaks and other industrial sounds of the train.

2. "All Lifestyles," Beastie Boys

You're bound to see a sampling of the world's population on the train. Our freak-freak making B-Boys illustrate this well with these two tracks off "To The Five Boroughs."

3. "People Get Ready," Curtis Mayfield & The Impressi

A great chill-out song, and beautiful, too. Hey, when the hell did I stop listening to Curtis Mayfield strictly for camp value?

4. "First Train Home," Imogen Heap

Duh.

5. "Gates of Justice," Chana Rothman

Nice little slice-of-life story telling on the train. Besides, what's not to love about a break-down in Hebrew?
