Playlists
Pretty Pimpin – Kurt Vile
12 December 2017
This week we have “Pretty Pimpin” from the incomparable “Kurt Vile” former guitarist for “The War on Drugs”.
I first heard this a few years back ,out on the road, and just loved the Indie/roots flavour it has going on, but it was actually the lyric that got me and reminded me of “Paul Kelly’s” “Look so Fine but Feel so Low” so don’t be fooled by it’s catchy facade…
The Curse – Evil Edna
5 December 2017
Burn a Million Miles has been receiving a large number of awesome track submissions recently, and it’s not only the quality, but they’re just sitting so well on the playlist. This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Paul from “Evil Edna” based out of London, who’s known for his trademark Harmonica and Edna’s killer stage shows.
Rockabilly Funeral – Bill Kirchen
28 November 2017
Here we have it folks…. The undisputed King of Diesel-Billy or as he was known in the 70’s as “The Titan of The Telecaster”.
I have no doubt, that all of you car lovers out there know why Bill’s “Rockabilly Funeral” has made an appearance….
Old Fitzroy – Dan Sultan
21 November 2017
I was introduced to Dan Sultan a few years back and been hooked ever since.There’s something really special about Australian music that paints a picture that’s not always pretty, with raw honesty that cuts to the bone.
American Nightmare – Misfits
13 November 2017
In our late teens, early twenties we were a group of loose life-styled, skate punks, surfers and alternatives. I don’t know if it was the exposure or culture of growing up on the tough working class streets, but somehow we all evolved into gas guzzling Muscle car drivers and Harley riders….. We brought our own special blend of noise pollution to the suburbs, supercharged Punk Rock and the deep gurgle of ratty V8 yank tanks.
Death Grip – Morosity
7 November 2017
During my break I was swamped with some seriously outstanding Submissions. This week I have Morosity with their track Death Grip…. This track immediately got my attention and for obvious reasons… it actually reminded me of the score from Cave and Ellis’s “The Proposition” and it’s probably worthy of sitting on a Cinematic soundtrack such this.
Country Heroes – Hank Williams III
31 October 2017
Alright Yall , while were on the Country Rebel Train, I have a little number from Country Royalty himself……Hank III
Hank and his for fathers have heavily influenced my sway into the Country seen and it’s not only the hard hitting reality of country lyrics but the no frills approach of the muso’s ….Raw fucking talent…
Ain’t a Road Too Long – Brent Cobb
10 October 2017
So while Chris is quite literally “on the road” I’m hijacking the list for this week! Had never heard of Brent Cobb before but this track blew into my ears and it’s stayed all there all bloody week!
Magnolia Mountain – Ryan Adams & The Cardinals
19 September 2017
For weeks now I’ve been trying to work a Ryan Adams track into the playlist, I suppose I could have thrown one in anywhere, but I’ve been waiting for an appropriate story or snippet to tie it back to the road… So…
Whole Lotta Rosie – Son Of Dave
12 September 2017
I’m sort of getting the feeling some of you might look at this playlist and go – where’s the Acca-Dacca and where’s The White Buffalo….Well there’s not!…There are no rules to a road trip and it’s probably the main reason – I’m trying to serve you something different each week.
Apache – The Shadows
4 September 2017
If you’ve read my Bio you’d already know of my love for The Beach Boys – even at primary school when my peers were singing along to the likes of Adam and the Ants and Bronski Beat, I was raiding my Mothers paisley record case and spinning
Brian Wilson and the like….
Golden Brown – The Stranglers
28 August 2017
Road trip playlists can have the potential to take you anywhere, stories, memories, latest hits and pub anthems, and last but not least the Classics. This week happens to be a request from the back seat, but if someone said to me write down a list of your ten favorite classics, its definitely been tattooed on my skin . Seriously, you know your listening to a brilliant piece of music when it can bring people together regardless of staunch Musical tastes and sub cultures.
