RTW Soundtrack

Regardless of our own musical tastes, the powers that be have provided us with a soundtrack for this trip so far. Please note that the songs below are in no way indicative of our personal musical tastes; rather, these are songs that we keep hearing in stores, that we keep seeing videos for in our hotel rooms, that are playing as ringtones, that we hear blasting from car stereos, and (in rare circumstances) that both of us continue to play on our respective digital audio devices (id est, Fleet Foxes, Them Crooked Vultures, The Beatles).

Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars - Cousin Jamie introduced us to this Sydney outfit
Fleet Foxes - Mykonos - We saw these guys live in Paris, and they are on our iPods

Eric Carmen - All by Myself - A song that we both sing when we see people traveling by themselves

JLo - Get on the Floor - Asia LOVES this song and it plays everywhere, unfortunately

Joe Dassin - Les Champs-Élysées - Introduced to us by friend Houston in Strasbourg
Katy Perry - Last Friday Night - We really wish we didn't know every word to this
The Beatles - Help - Keeps rotating on our iPod playlists, and we went to Abbey Road
Bruno Mars - Lazy Song -  We both want to punch Peter Hernandez in his Hawaiian face
Them Crooked Vultures - Elephant - Played over and over on our drive through the Black Forest 
2NE1 - Lonely - On every Asian music video chanel, every five minutes
Radiohead - Lotus Flower - Bought the bootlegged version of this album in Phnom Penh
Simple Plan - Jet Lag - This single was being promoted in Asia and Oz...wtf?
Matt & Kim - Good for Great - On both of our iPods, with appropriate lyrics 


We will add to this list as we uncept new songs from our travels.
