There are lots of places around the world I would like to travel to, and maybe I might get to some of them. The one destination I have always coveted since I was a boy though is the great out there. Outer space, interplanetary travel. The whole shebang. (You did say 'dream vacation' Eric?)

10 The B-52's : Planet Claire
It is always nice to meet up with old friends on holiday. I knew someone called Claire once who was a hippy social worker. She was planing to write a sci-fi novel called The Tolpuddle Martians, but that is neither here or there. Perhaps this would be the place to meet up with her.

13 Oasis : Champagne Supernova
I think I would spend most of my vacation just looking out of the window of my spaceship/silver machine/whatever and see what there is to see. If there is a supernova out there it would be nice to be sipping a glass of bubbly while I watch it!

I totally had this idea for a mix super long ago but never put it together. Congrats on beating me to the punch.

I would have included Air - "Venus" - but then you would have two songs called Venus. Drat.
