Themed Mixtape for the the July FTOTZ exchange. It travels out and about with city jamtimers, freeway screamers, and rural ragers. At times it's a bit middle of the road, but by then it's so far off the map that it doesn't really matter because there ain't too much traffic around anyway, ya dig?

It goes Garage Rock --> Post Punk-->Classic Rock--->Country-->Hard Rock-->Proto-Punk-->Punk--->Hip-Hop-->New Wave-->Indie-->Rock-->Dream Pop-->Shoegaze-->Classic Rock-->Rock and Roll Supergroup--> 21st century Bowie

Have you ever seen The Rain People? I just watched it last night. It's the most depressing road film in the universe.
