Less Impossible Mixtape
August 13, 2007 at 02:23 PM UTC
#
I've been thinking about this one for awhile now: A cross-country mixtape. Each song on the tape has to mention by name a place in the US, and the songs will be organized by location, east to west or west to east.
Stipulations to make things interesting: the location can't be in the title of the song and even if the song has multiple locations mentioned, only one can be included (so don't be funny and go with "I've Been Everywhere.")
Some songs to start:
Arcade Fire- Cold Wind (San Francisco)
Bob Dylan- Tangled Up in Blue (New Orleans)

Why not just make a mix tape with only "Route 66" on it?
Just kidding.
