On the Road (Twitchtape)




Here we are then. First show went down last night and the new theme for the next mixtape is under planning. This week i shall be looking into America. Yes on this journey we have gone from York to Bath via Train now to America.

My Girlfriend lent me On the Road last summer all i could think in my head was music music music is needed. Written by Jack Kerouac and published in 1957 On The Road is one of the most highly acclaimed novels of the past century. The novel is an autobiographical tale of Kerouac's journeys across America. This has inspired me to create a mixtape of music which i feel would really work on a Cross America Trip.

The music will be old and new but all drawing from American roots. Some songs will be from the era of the novel others just simple down to earth country, blues and red neck bangers.

When listening to the next podcast and mixtape or even radio show get involved and imagine you are the driver of something like the car above not a care in the world just driving for the thrill of driving and meeting people. Maybe getting into problems with the police on the way, dancing to blues, bee bop and country. Meeting faces you will never forget on the road hitchhiking and drinking cheap MUD.

Sit back and listen up for the tunes.
