Despite having a 6,000 song iPod and a Satellite Radio, I want to burn a bunch of CDs to make this ride a one way trip of a life time.
My play list is starting with Sia's "Breathe Me" followed by Simple Minds "Don't you forget about me"
I want Cyburbia to round out 3 CDs.
Starting now.
Since you also like Sia...

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
From Kelly's Heroes (1970)
Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.
From Electric Horseman (1979)
Because of my re-fascination, I'm going with a few The Tubes tunes.
- Wild Women of Wongo
- Boy Crazy (thought you'd like that one)
- Muscle Girls
- Attack of the 40 Foot Woman
- Talk to Ya Later
- Monkey Time
- Tip of My Tongue
Oh hell, almost anything by The Tubes.
A nuisance may be merely a right thing in the wrong place — like a pig in the parlor instead of the barnyard.
Here's some more to burn, baby, burn.....
First three are from The Concert For The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame:
My City Was Gone (The Pretenders)
Hold On! I'm Comin'! (Sam Moore)
Back Door Man (Iggy Pop & Soul Asylum)
Gypsy (Uriah Heep)
24 Hours At A Time (Marshall Tucker Band) (Live Version)

Occupy Cyburbia!
y'all (note the local talk) rock.
Not knowing your musical taste, I can provide some advice on artists to focus on with your trip to Texas.
Get familiar with "Texas Jesus" Willie Nelson. Singer-songwriters are big down here. You may as well start learning a bit of Texas Country, which is a more entertaining version of country music. Robert Earl Keen, Pat Green and the Randy Rogers Band would be some good starters. Of course there's also George Strait, though I've never been a fan.
Some other mainstream Texas rock artists I'd focus on: Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Buddy Holly & the Cricketts, Roy Orbison, ZZ Top, At the Drive-In, Bowling for Soup, Blue October, Toadies
If you like Indie Rock: Spoon, …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, Explosions in the Sky, Okkervil River, This Will Destroy You and The Black Angels are some popular ones on the Austin music scene and should be readily available on iTunes.
I probably can't top bflo_la, but here's some contributions from my last road trip from a variety of genres. My collection is pretty eclectic, so if there's a style you like, say so. I left off some of the indie stuff.
- I am the Highway - Audioslave
- Boston - Augustana
- Against the Wind - Bob Seger
- Everything Zen - Bush
- Crossroads - Cream
- Anything by the Foo Fighters
- Handlebars - Flobots (not a great road song, but nice reminder that my generation can occassionally think)
- Jesus of Suburbia/City of the Damned/I don't Care/Dearly Beloved/Tales of Another Broken Home - Green Day
- Holiday - Green Day
- Welcome to Paradise - Green Day
- Brain Stew - Green Day
- Green Day is actually one of my preferred road trip bands.
- Paradise City - GnR
- Ramble On - Led Zeppelin
- Spirit in the Sky - Norman Greenbaum
- Evenflow - Pearl Jam
- Run Like Hell - Pink Floyd
- Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen... Wayne's World style
- Tom Petty is a good all-around artist for the road
- Radiohead, REM, etc.
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Herman Göring at the Nuremburg trials (thoughts on democracy)
I posted this request on Face Book too. Between the two, the results are funny.
Also Townes Van Zandt, Rodney Crowell, Los Lonely Boys, Marcia Ball, early Dixie Chicks and early Edie Brickell and New Bohemians, Double Trouble, Terri Hendrix and many more.Originally posted by Suburb Repairman

If you need a little light reading on the way to Texas, be sure to download the state's hurricane preparedness info. You'll need it.
Here's another fun (!) site:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/HAW2/english/intro.shtml
Be sure to scroll down to the historical hurricane tracks map and plug in Corpus Christi.
My new place is out of all evacuation zones, even for a cat 5. I'll still make a kit though.
Don't forget that sharpie to write your SS# on your arm!
Seriously, NOAA has really upgraded the search option. Corpus has been within 65 miles of 8 Cat 4 or 5's, handily beating NOLA. We've had none in our area. But CC doesn't hold a candle to Miami.
Maybe we should make this the "Chet in general moving to CC thread"?

(btw MM has used pan flutes in his music.)

I like your taste buddy! I really enjoy Terri and LLB.

The Doobie Brothers....anything provided it doesn't involve Michael McDonald. He blows.
Yes, they're playing on my iPod at the moment..China Grove
