A Playlist for Stevie’s Postcard Project
So my little buddy Stevie is embarking a pretty big journey tomorrow and I’m trying to help him calm his nerves. He started this Kickstarter project to build some friends to send postcards to. If thats confusing you can check out his project because he explains it better than me. However, I did make him a playlist for his travels and figured I would share it with you guys!
When I played him the playlist he had a few comments I’ll include here. Enjoy and please do check out his project!
1. Coldplay – Postcards From Far Away
Yeah, thats me sending postcards from far away!
2. Paula & Karol – Goodnight Warsaw
Well not “Goodnight” because I haven’t met Warsaw yet so I’m gonna sing “Hello Warsaw!”
3. Rogue Wave – Postage Stamp World
Yea I think thats my new world…
Its dark and weird but I like it. Did I just describe my future feelings on London?
Even darker! Woah!
6. RDGLDGRN – Lootin In London
I’ll certainly try not to… and I’ll give stern looks to any looters I see!
7. Jukebox The Ghost – Postcard
A love song about Postcards! My favorite kind of love song!
8. Friendly Fires – Paris
9. Magic Man – Paris
10. Explosions In The Sky – Postcard From 1952
11. Little Dragon – Paris
12. Kate Nash – Paris
Wow its Paris overload time! I was just dancing!
13. Jens Lekman – A Postcard to Nina
Yeah you gotta explain to Nina’s dad whats going on. Sounds confusing!
14. Is Tropical – Berlin
15. The Young Professionals – Fuck Off Berlin
Strong feelings about Berlin! I wonder if my feelings will be that strong…
16. Peter Bjorn And John – School Of Kraut
Its like German surf music! But I don’t think I will be surfing in Berlin…
17. Beirut – Postcards From Italy
I’m not going to Italy but I appreciate the mention of postcards.
18. Bayside – Phone Call From Poland
They should have called this song “A Postcard from Poland” but maybe that never happened to them. I could fix that!
19. Maximo Park – Postcard Of A Painting
I prefer postcards with pictures of rivers or trees or buildings. Just my personal preference.
20. Europe – The Final Countdown
GAH! The countdown is real and I only have hours to pack! Gotta go!Â
Hi Brandon, hope you are okay. It’s been a while since you took a one week break from posting. I’m sure I’m like a ton of people who check The Burning Ear at least once a week to partake of the gems you’ve discovered. I proudly wear my The Burning Ear t-shirt – although it’s a bit cold to do it now! Take care, pal, and thanks for the great music.
Sorry to worry you! I was traveling in Europe with my girlfriend for Thanksgiving week and just didn’t have time to get some posts in the pipeline. I appreciate the concern, it means a lot. Always awesome to know you guys are out there rocking to sweet jams with me!
Stay warm, KZ!
