Playlist: Geography Lesson

June 14th, 2008

This is a new version of a mix I’ve made for a couple of folks. It occured to me one day how many great songs have proper noun place names for a title, so I started collecting them on one playlist. This is what I have so far:

    1. Portland, Oregan - Loretta Lynn & Jack White
    2. Haiti - The Arcade Fire
    3. California - Joni Mitchell
    4. Amsterdam - Peter Bjorn & John
    5. Georgia, Georgia - Elliot Smith
    6. West Texas - Bob Dylan
    7. Australia - The Shins
    8. Sodom, South Georgia - Iron & Wine
    9. Ohio - Damien Jurado
    10. America - Simon & Garfunkle
    11. Arizona - Pedro The Lion
    12. Ohio - Modest Mouse
    13. New York, New York, New York - Martha Wainwright
    14. LDN - Lily Allen
    15. Cayman Islands - Kings of Convenience
    16. NYC - Interpol
    17. Ohio - CSN&Y
    18. Italy - Akron/Family

Who knew Ohio was such a muse for the forlorn/socially-minded/angry folkster set?
