Drive, he said

March 8th, 2011 in 45 Picture Sleeves, Music for..., Trains, Planes and Automobiles by lpcoverlover | 3 Comments

“Music While You Drive” Listening to music while you drive can be perfect. With the windows rolled up or the top rolled down, sometimes music just sounds best in your automobile. Crank the volume and the outside world becomes a silent background to the songs.

Pink Panther PUNK KidStuff Records (Includes “Another Brick in the Wall”!) Makes me think of other songs that might be on Vol. ii. Of course, all other songs by Pink Floyd. And those by Pink herself. How about Prince’s “Pink Cashmere”? Bruce’s “Pink Cadillac”?
