Day 30: Dirty Trip

I listened to this CD while driving home at about 2 a.m. this morning from a friend's house, winding through the same tree-lined neighborhoods near where I went to high school. From "Moon Safari" to "Premiers Symptomes," Air's albums have always been great to listen to while driving around at night. But (with the possible exception of "Surfing on a Rocket") this whooshing journey through the heart of a hypnotic soundtrack is the one most suitable for space travel.
