The World Hum redesign is up--check it out here. Anchoring the relaunch: a Tony Bourdain essay and a list of the 40 Best Travel Songs. The site looks great, and the songs are way classier than most of the ones I picked, which is why wrote about Jonathan Richman and Golden Earring. Here's my full ballot; also check out fellow contributor Newley Purnell's full ballot here.
Most travel writers are nerds, I suspect there was a split vote among Talking Heads songs.
1. Talking Heads--The Big Country
2. The Modern Lovers--Roadrunner
3. MIA--Paper Planes
4. U2--I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
5. Del Shannon--Runaway
6. Silver Jews--Random Rules
7. Lucinda Williams-- Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
8. Michael Franti--Hello Bonjour
9. Golden Earring--Radar Love
10. Blur--Girls and Boys
