I join this contest with a tape I already put together some years ago. I hope that's not against the rules. The mix is not about one single trip but about a whole series of roadtrips from 2000 to 2002. The first years at university. I had a neighbour who came from the same region and we drove together to our parents in his car almost twice a months at the weekends. I had a crush on him but I never told him because I didn't really want to be with him (he had already told me about his girlfriend at the destination and a lover at the other destination, so I knew how he treated girls, well, otherwise he was the nicest guy ever). Whatever, I don't care about him anymore but I will never forget those trips. It is funny how to get to know people just driving in a car together some hours frequently. We talked about everything! One big topic was music and so I made this mix with music we listened to on that roadtrips.

	Track 12 from Kommt zusammen Length: 00:03:39 Year: 2001
	Track Description: The first time I heard that song was on the radio in the beginning of our first roadtrip. We both thought it was such a nice song and didn't even know the name of the artist. I felt later that parts of the lyrics described my feelings and so whenever I heard this band I had to think about him. SHOW LESS
2	The Cardigans : Erase/Rewind
	Another song which was on the radio when we first begin to talk about music. The Cardigans have always been my [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from Gran Turismo Length: 00:03:38 Year: 1998
	Track Description: Another song which was on the radio when we first begin to talk about music. The Cardigans have always been my favourite band but many friends didn't even know their name (or just lovefool). Even if my driver was more into hip hop in general he liked them, too and it made the first talks very easy (I didn't mention, we didn't really know us before). SHOW LESS
3	Madonna : American Pie
	Both of us were not much into Madonna but thought this songs sounded nice (well, real music lovers might think [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 11 from Music Length: 00:04:36 Year: 2000
	Track Description: Both of us were not much into Madonna but thought this songs sounded nice (well, real music lovers might think that cover version is awful, but I like it). SHOW LESS
4	The Corrs : Radio

	Track 6 from In Blue Length: 00:04:14 Year: 2000
	Track Description: Althoug this song was on a tape a friend gave to him, we listened a lot to the radio. The programs in our home region was bad and they played the same stupid songs a hundred time a day (I know that's why it is called mainstream). I hated radio music before I moved to my study place. The radio stations there were much better and I realised that it is a real good kind of media. And I never listened more to radion than on these roadtrips. SHOW LESS
5	Weezer : Island in the Sun
	Another topic we talked about a lot was holidays. We both liked travelling but each of us had friends which ei [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from The Green Album Length: 00:03:30 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Another topic we talked about a lot was holidays. We both liked travelling but each of us had friends which either didn't like to leave home or never had money or no time or the intrests of holidays were too different. So we always stayed at home in summer hoping there will be a holiday the next year. Well, I wonder why we didn't go on holiday together (well, I was to shy those days). SHOW LESS
6	Dido : Thank you
	Another artist I discovered on our trips which we both liked. SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from No Angel Length: 00:03:38 Year: 0000

7	Garbage : Androgyny

	Track 14 from The Very Best of Herman's Hermits Length: 00:02:58 Year: 1997
	Track Description: I remember when we once were in a traffic jam and no car could drive. We just stood there without any wheel moved. It was so funny when he started dancing in the car to this old 60ies song. Even if this drive took twice as long as it took us otherwise to get home, it was the most happiest and we had so much fun. As it is said it's not about the destination but the trip! SHOW LESS
9	Nelly Furtado : Turn Off The Light
	As I mentioned he was in general in the hiphop scene and since Nelly Furtado is between music styles and does [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from Whoa, Nelly! Length: 00:04:36 Year: 2000
	Track Description: As I mentioned he was in general in the hiphop scene and since Nelly Furtado is between music styles and does hiphop, too, he loved this song. I don't really like hiphop but though I think she makes good music. And it was very intresting what my driver told me about his hip hop and grafitti organization. SHOW LESS
10	2-Raumwohnung : Nimm mich mit - das Abenteuer Liebe usw.
	The second song by 2-Raumwohnung. The lyrics in this song have also something to do with holidays and love. So [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from Kommt zusammen Length: 00:03:34 Year: 2001
	Track Description: The second song by 2-Raumwohnung. The lyrics in this song have also something to do with holidays and love. So it was about my secret dreams... SHOW LESS
11	A Camp : I can buy you
	Ok, this song is not really a part of the roadtrip because we never listened to it together. But I told him ve [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from A Camp Length: 00:03:49 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Ok, this song is not really a part of the roadtrip because we never listened to it together. But I told him very much about the A Camp concert were I had been. And even this lyrics made me think of him when I listened to the songs after one of our trips. Of course we shared the money for the fuel and so I payed him. Well, I could buy him (as my driver) but I couldn't make him love me. SHOW LESS
12	Air : Playground Love
	I didn't know many songs by Air but I those I knew I liked. He had two albums by them and we decided to share [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from The Virgin Suicides: Original Motion Picture Score Length: 00:03:32 Year: 2000
	Track Description: I didn't know many songs by Air but I those I knew I liked. He had two albums by them and we decided to share cds. He wanted to burn Air for me and I should give hime more by the Cardigans. Well, we always forgot it when we were out of the car again. SHOW LESS

	Track 4 from No Need to Argue Length: 00:05:05 Year: 1994
	Track Description: When you are in the same age and there is an "old" song of your first teenage times on the radio, it is very nice to talk about school and class trips and how glad you are those times are over now because university is much better than school. "Zombie" is one of the songs which remind me to a classtrip when I was around 14. SHOW LESS
14	Backstreet Boys : Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)
	If someone would have told me about 10 years ago that I would put a Backstreet Boys song on a mix, I would hav [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Backstreet Boys Length: 00:03:53 Year: 1996
	Track Description: If someone would have told me about 10 years ago that I would put a Backstreet Boys song on a mix, I would have told him or her, he or she's crazy. But even the songs you laughed about before sound nice when you have fun together making jokes about boygroups and their fans. SHOW LESS
15	Sarah Connor : Let's Get Back to Bed - Boy! (feat. TQ)
	Another song which I didn't like when I listened to it the first time. But when he admit that he liked it, it [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from Green Eyed Soul Length: 00:03:57 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Another song which I didn't like when I listened to it the first time. But when he admit that he liked it, it wasn't that bad to me anymore. SHOW LESS
16	2-Raumwohnung : 2 von Millionen von Sternen
	Usually I wouldn't take three songs by the same band on one mix but this is the perfect end. The lyrics are (m [...] SHOW MORE
	Track 7 from Kommt zusammen Length: 00:04:46 Year: 2001
	Track Description: Usually I wouldn't take three songs by the same band on one mix but this is the perfect end. The lyrics are (maybe not the best translation): "We were 2 of millions of stars which depart more and more from each other". We didn't drive to our parents that often anymore and found new friends at our study place. He wasn't my neighbour anymore, I fell in love with someone else and finally I did a workterm at another place. So our roadtrips stopped and we haven't met again. But looking back it was a really nice time with roadtrips which I won't forget. SHOW LESS

Level 27

My first thought after seeing Madonna after that incredible Cardigans song was "holy hell". This is quite a mixed bag. + for "Playground Love" too.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.
