Whilst I was in California, as I said, my car was key. But what is a car without music? Soul-less! Here's a list of the tunes I mostly enjoyed whilst driving.

Bought in Fopp in London:

• Carl Cox - Phuture 2000. This was the first disc I put in the car as I left SFO, so will forever be in my mind.
• Sigur Ros - ba ba ti ki di do. Crazy weird randomness.
• The Future Sound of London - Dead Cities. Grant called this 'soundscapes'. I'll go with that too.

• Beck - Odelay. 'Jackass' is an all-time great, and got played multiple times en route to the office.
• Ice Cube - Greatest Hits. This only got a very brief listen.
• Kanye West - The College Dropout. This only got a brief listen too. Conclusion: I'm not a huge fan of lyrics when driving.

• Dave Matthews Band - The Gorge. Must have been on crack when I bought this...
• Spring Heel Jack - Live. Some seriously crazy freeeform jazz tunes.
• Jori Hulkonnen & Laurent Garnier - Classic and Rare: La Collection Chapter 3. The best CD I bought (that makes up for Dave Matthews!). Without a doubt, the most played discs, although someone stole CD1 and is currently holding it to ransom!

• [re:jazz] - (re:mix). A cool mix of some classic jazz numbers. They have a pretty cool site, too.
• globalounge vol.2. Beats, grooves and vocals. Nice.
• Pink Panther's Penthouse Party. Happy 40th birthday, Pink Panther. This CD is worth it for about 5 seconds inside the Fischerspooner remix alone. Good tunes, well played disc, and you can listen to samples of every track online.

• Sasha - Airdrawndagger. Track 11 on here is quality.

Man, that was quite a lot of CDs to end up with! I wonder what my car is doing now...
