Wednesday Mixtape B-Side Playlist

This week’s Wednesday Mixtape was “road trip music.” I had a really difficult time slimming my choice down to just one song. As someone who has traveled frequently, I like to think I’ve gotten a decently-sized library of road trip tunes. So this is a playlist of tracks that didn’t make the mixtape.

I recommended the entire album “Origin, Vol. 1” by The Soundtrack of Our Lives, and used the song “Borderline” to make my point. Two other songs from that album show up here.

1. Electric Worry (Clutch)
2. Souljacker, Pt. I (Eels)
3. Wheels of Boredom (The Soundtrack of Our Lives)
