Omar, you must have been on the 401 between Windsor & Toronto, one of the flattest and barren landscapes in all of Canada. You're right though, playing things like Aspen & Stasis would bring you the most amazing thoughts as you're focused on the straight road ahead and the cows to the right in the corn fields. Interesting that someone would bring this up, it's happened to me quite a lot traveling to Toronto from Windsor for a record shopping binge/purge.

Another delightful message here. I've also had the opportunity to drive the 101 "PCH" through areas like San Simeon and thru to Big Sur and surrounding. I have to admit that this is yet another beauty of life that can only be fully appreciated behind the wheel and with tracks from artists such as Plaid, BoC, Abfahrt Hinwil, Gimmik, and others in the same vein. It also helps when your one true love is holding your hand too.. it's truly an inspiring area to drive with the right musical backdrop. Oh, and considering that Francesca and i drove from Windsor to California in a U-Haul truck dragging a Volkswagen on a trailer without a tape-deck in the cab of the truck was truly an amazing experience. 2800 miles without a tape-deck in a truck, in the middle of Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona and others places is pretty incredible. You learn to make tunes by tapping on the stirring wheel and rolling down the window to some good old-school country music. Try that.. Believe it or not, we even met Stone Cold Steve Austin at a local Gas-Station called "The Pump & Pantry" in the middle of Nebraska on a cold night..
