The Mouse's Roar

so a few days ago i posted about how awesomely my music blends in with the city sounds around my workplace, and scdsam suggested that i create a playlist for the downtown life... well, ask and ye shall receive! 

I kinda fudged it a bit so this is more of a "Transit Life" playlist, a set of songs that fit my trips on the train to and from work, walking on the streets around my office building, etc etc.. you'll notice the songs all have a similar type of sound, but really not much else in common.  I didn't choose these for the lyrics (except the last one), only for the fact that sirens and cars whizzing by and ppl chattering on the street and in train cars blend in really well with the music itself. So without further ado:

Songs for the Downtown Commuter

The Dandy Warhols - Sleep (rush hour traffic, automated doors opening and closing, this is how we begin and end all of our days)
Jimmy Eat World - My Sundown (this one is nice to listen to when staring out the window of the train with the rhythm of the railroad tracks rumbling beneath your feet)
Switchfoot - Dare You to Move (for the rush of people getting on and off the trains and hurrying up and down the street)
Angels & Airwaves - The Adventure (walking into the office for a brand new day, coffee in hand, bounce in your step, a flurry of productivity; cars honk on the street below your window and the shiny silver express train thunders across the rail bridge)
Revis - Everything After (lunchtime! ppl bustling in and out of the office, chatting, laughing; drivers honking impatiently at crowds ambling slowly on the crosswalk, rushing back for meetings and lunch meetings)
Placebo - Sleeping with Ghosts (walking past the hospital after dark, the flourescent lights glowing in the windows and ambulances crying in the distance)
Fort Minor - Slip (leaving work late night, strolling down quiet streets while cars zoom past and ppl try to have conversations from opposite sides of the street)
Fatboy Slim - Wonderful Night (for Fridays at 5 pm)
Death Cab for Cutie - Passenger Seat (my dad picks me up from the train station at the end of the day and drives me home)

As usual, all songs (in addition to many others) are posted on mediafire for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!
