what to listen to while medically evacuated in the peace corps?

  • "Some Sweet Day," Sparklehorse; Dreamt For Light Years In The Belly Of A Mountain
  • "That's The Stuff You Gotta Watch," Miles Davis; First Miles
  • "One For My Baby," Frank Sinatra; Only For The Lonely
  • "Stick It Out," Frank Zappa; Joe's Garage
  • "One Of Us Most Know (Sooner or Later)" Bob Dylan; Blonde On Blonde
  • "Tangled Up In Blue," and "Santa-Fe," Bob Dylan; Rare and Unreleased Vol. 2
  • "America Is Waiting," and "Help Me Somebody," Brian Eno & David Byrne; My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts
  • "The River," Brian Eno & John Cale; Wrong Way Up
  • "Milonga del Angel," David Tanenbaum, Guitar; Astor Piazolla--El Porteno
  • "Bohemian Rhapsody," Queen
  • "Weird Fishes/Arpeggi," Radiohead; In Rainbows
  • "The National Anthem," Radiohead; Kid A
  • "Come Rain or Come Shine," Ray Charles; Genius & Soul
  • "New York's My Home," Ray Charles; Genius Hits The Road
  • "Whole Wide World," Wreckless Eric; The Stiff Records Box Set
  • "Motel Room In My Bed," X; Under The Big Black Sun
  • "20$," M.I.A.; Kala
  • Podcasts to refresh your language, such as Un Idioma Sin Fronteras; Voices en Espanol; Spanish Phrase of the Day; etc. Other Podcasts I've found quite informative: This American Life; Volunteer Voices; The Word Nerds; Princeton University Podcasts; Philosophy Bites; NPR Science Friday Podcasts; NPR All Songs Considered; Big Ideas; Astronomy Cast; The Definitive Word. Also, not something to listen to, but there's a great Spanish magazine called "Alma." If you are in need of practice during Med Evac, it's great. There are also opportunities to volunteer while evacuated if you can, and plenty of Spanish-speaking folks to seek out.
