I don't care if it's raining, I'm going to the freakin' beach.
I never understood the "_____ or bust" expression really, but it's something that I used to write on cardboard signs that would be placed in the windows of our cars when going to the beach whether summer weekends in Jersey or spring break in Florida.
I just made what some of you might think is the most tasteless playlist for my drive down the shore. I'll be in the car alone so I don't have to please anyone but myself. Iced coffee, guilty pleasures on the sound system old car stereo with cassette player, bubble gum in every sense of the word.
Here's the playlist:
- Ch-ch-check it out - Beastie Boys : Awwwwww hell yeah!
- I Wanna Holler but the Town's Too Small - Detroit Cobras : you got that right sister
- Summer & Lightning - ELO : this is amazing when they break it down
- Fireflies - Owl City : my favorite new song. Try not to be in a good mood!! Check it!
- New in Town - Little Boots : fun party girl!
- Today - Smashing Pumpkins : classic non-melancholy non-sadness
- Here Comes Your Man - Meaghan Smith : from "500 Days of Summer"
- How Deep is Your Love - The Bird and the Bee : just feels like warm sunshine
- Golddigger - the cast of Glee : I just can't help it.
- Come Around - MIA : Hotness. Makes me feel ethnic.
- Under Attack - ABBA : self-flagellating lyrics disguised by brilliant pop harmonies
- I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas : "L'chaim!"
- Scene Whore - Holograms : that's me!
- Don't Stop Believin - Glee cast : Shut up. You know it's awesome.
- Party in the USA - Miley Cyrus : This makes me feel dirty. But ever since seeing the Fire Island video I just can't get it outta my head. I'm a dirty pop addict.
- Girl Can't Help It - Swingin Neckbreakers : what'd I say after #9?
- Since You've Been Gone - Rainbow : the only thing missing from this song is cowbell.
- Mr. Blue Sky - ELO : best played at level 11.
- Crimson & Clover - Tommy James : one of the best summer songs EVER.
- Slow Down Baby - Christina Aguilera : a message to myself for the GS parkway.
- Any Way You Want It - Journey : have you seen the new singer of Journey? He's a mini-Steve Perry. So cute you could carry him around in your handbag.
- I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness : rawk!
Don't thank me for this playlist. Just steal it and send me a note telling me how much it changed your life.
Well, it started strong...but kinda went down hill after the first track. LOL

How do you drive to Jersey without any Bruce?

Well, I did pack "Greetings From Asbury Park NJ" to listen to also.
But NO Bon Jovi!

So you know how I said, "I don't care if it's raining, I'm going to the freakin' beach?" Yeah, no. Never again am I going on a beach vacation for 5 straight days of rain and hurricaney winds. I'd rather bust.
