Gadling’s Friday Travel Tunes – episode 5

Still enjoying our weekly dose of travel tunes? My lineup for today includes a mix of several styles of music, along with a couple of current hits. These are all heavily played on my iPhone/Zune/Archos, and are the kind of tunes that put me in the mood to travel.

Next week, we’ll have the first of (hopefully) many reader submitted playlists. But for now, pop on your headphones, crank up the volume, and prepare yourself for the weekend with some Gadling Travel Tunes.

Gadling’s Friday Travel Tunes – Episode 4


A good music playlist, like a good trip, changes pace from along the way. The initial frenetic energy generated by the anticipation and adrenaline that initiates a trip is followed by a calming lull as you catch your breath and begin to settle into your new surroundings. As your trip meanders in unexpected directions, your music should accompany you like a good friend.

At the end of your trip, as you board your flight home or drive those final miles of a road trip, you simply need the sweet sounds of Lionel Richie to let you know that you’ve survived.
