I am a big fan of visiting the desert. A while back, I went to Joshua Tree with some class mates. It was an absolute blast. The thing I love about the desert is the feeling of being able to do whatever you want. Absolute freedom. Plus, at night, that sky will bring a tear to anyone's eye. This is a mix for the stretch of Highway 10 before you are surrounded by giant Windmills and Beautiful Mountains. The shitty part of the drive. This is the mix to transport us from the bile of the city to the beauty of the desert.

| 4 | Beastie Boys : Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun |
|
This classic tune keeps the excitement alive as we start anxiously awaiting our arrival a few hours in the future. Hopefully when we get on the 10 heading east, it won't have too bad of traffic (although it always does, screw San Bernadino).

| 8 | Queens of the Stone Age : Suture Up Your Future |

I will admit that after an initial outright hatred for this album, I have warmed up to A FEW of the tracks on it. Something we can groove to as we get further towards freedom and further away from bum piss.

| 10 | Dead Meadow : At Her Open Door |

Some beautiful psychadelic rock for us to get in "desert mode". Desert Mode is drinking lots of beer and getting high. Since we choose to not do that stuff until we get there, this will do.
