Paul’s Eurotrip – The soundtrack to my journey

September 7, 2005

City	Song	Relevance
Paris	Fly Paper Jet – Circus Charlie	At the start of my journey I realised how much I had in common with Circus Charlie. We both set off on a trip to try and reach the stars…
Bruges	AC/DC – Long Way to the Top	The song was in my head as we climbed to the top of bell tower in Damme. The top became the end of our cycling trip, when it felt like we’d never get there.
Amsterdam	Wheatus – American in Amsterdam	The song was in my head the whole time, especially the line "and they kicked our asses out of the sex show"
Amsterdam	Fly Paper Jet – Blue Light	After learning that transvestite prostitutes have blue lights in their windows, this song will never be the same.
Amsterdam	Fuzigish – Little Bird	Stoned in Vondelpark, I was fascinated by the ducks.
Berlin	Pop Will Eat Itself – Ich bin Ein Auslander	No real reason, It just came to me and I couldn’t get it out of my head.
Prague	Black Eyed Peas – Shut Up	Our guide told us to remember our tube stop with this song; "Chodov! Just Chodov, Chodov!"
Prague	Fuzigish – Southern Ska Stomper	At the bone church, the lines "Don’t mess with my bones! Don’t mess with my broken bones!" made sense to me.
Prague	Manu Chao – Malegria	I heard Manu Chao everywhere in Prague.
Vienna	Oasis – Champaign Supernova	Any song off (What’s the Story) Morning Glory became relevant. We were discussing Oasis in the Wombats pub when Champaign Supernova came on. After that I heard the album in every hostel until Venice. It just kept cropping up.
Salzburg	"High on the Hill"	Climbing the mountain to the Ice Caves we saw a Lonely Goat.
Salzburg	Jet – Are You Gonna Be My Girl?	Emily couldn’t resist the air guitar when Jet came on!
Munich	Cypress Hill – Insane in the Brain	On the bus from Salzburg to Munich, Grant and I started rapping Insane in the Brain and got through the whole song.
Munich	"Ein Proset"	They were singing it in The Hoffbrauhaus all the time.
St. Johan	Smashing Pumpkins – Today (acoustic)	Good old Bunny’s pub had a rare Pumpkins recording on their playlist.
Venice	Cake – Sheep go to Heaven, Goats go to Hell	Absolutely no relevance other than being stuck in my head the whole time.
Venice	The Killers – Somebody Told Me	After a bottle of cherry vodka and The Killers the campsite club really started rocking.
Rome	Habit To – Eden	The word Eden kept popping up and I was listening to the track as I entered Rome.
Sorrento	Incubus – 11am	Having to wake up at 7am I was humming it all the way out of Sorrento. "7am, the garbage truck beeps as it backs up and I start my day thinking about what I’ve thrown away".
Florence	Coldplay – Yellow	Playing d drinking games, I started a "songs with a colour in the name" category.
Biassa	Sky Division – Traveler’s Wine	Biassa really is the ideal place to leave the the city lights for another world, just needed some wine.
Cinque Terre	Nine Inch Nails – La Mer	Chilling on the beach listening to this song was so apt.
Lauterbrunnen	U2 – Beautiful Day	It rocked The Bombshelter and the next day I was up early for a really beautiful day.
Lauterbrunnen	Zwan – El Sol	Freezing my arse off at the top of The Jungfrau. All I needed was "a little sunshine"
Reading	Goldie Lookin Chain – Your Mother’s Got a Penis	What a great comical start to the festival. Apparently it’s true for Rosie’s mum.
Reading	My Chemical Romance – I’m Not Okay (I Promise)	They kicked off a brilliant set with this song.
Reading	The Killers – Indie Rock ‘n Roll	The entire mood of the festival until this point was encapsulated in this song.
Reading	The Pixies – Gigantic	What a quality finale.
Reading	Kings of Leon – Molly’s Chambers	The only song I was looking forward to and they played it first.
Reading	Foo Fighters – Everlong	A brilliant solo by Uncle Dave.
Reading	Funeral for a Friend – Streetcar	The whole crowd made the sound of a telephone ringing to introduce the track.
Reading	NoFX – Don’t Call Me White	Got us to move forward and jump around a bit.
Reading	Marilyn Manson – Tourniquet	A spectacular part of the show, Manson got up on stilts and did the whole song looking like a sci-fi creature.
Reading	Kaiser Chiefs – I Predict a Riot	Although they didn’t play the fest, I kept hearing the song and it would get stuck in my head," La, La, La, fucking LA!"
