Song Association Wednesday #5: Name a song you can associate with each of the following settings?

Hi Ryan. Sorry you were going through some bad stuff. I hope things have been sorted out and are better now.

Once again, going true, in the moment word association so they may or may not make sense/even be songs that I particularly like. Let's see where the brain goes today:

1. The beach - The Breeders - Cannonball

2. The woods - Bon Iver - the Woods

3. The city - Stevie Wonder - Livin for the City

4. The rain forest - the Mars Volta - Miranda...: Vade Mecum (mind went straight for the Puerto Rican tree frogs)

5. A busy road with bad drivers - Gary Newman - Cars

6. The North Pole - Grandaddy - The Warming Sun (I guess it just feels like such a lonely song)

So, I guess I was a little on the nose this week for the most part.

BA: Did a lot of listening to stuff the last couple of days, but I guess technically the most recent of the lot was Wilco Schmilco. Pretty good. I think it'll take a couple more times through to totally get bonded, but it's a good record.

Hope you're doing better man.

EDIT BA: This was after the question, but I thought it was a good record that I heard for the first time that is probably under most radars. The new Caveman record is quite good. It's good stuff.

Howdy there young feller! I hope you're doing OK.

OMG! Your choice for No.5- lol.

Sorry for my late answer, but here goes:

1. The beach:

Broken Social Scene- 7/4 Shoreline

2. The woods

Midlake- Roscoe

3. The city

The Church- Metropolis

4. The rain forest

5. A busy road with bad drivers
