Dorothy: Song Map
A road map made up of 390 song titles: from Highway to Hell to Penny Lane, Itchycoo Park to Heartbreak Hotel. And just like places in our own neighbourhood, some are really good and some are best avoided – remember Love House by Sam Fox?
For the real music geek there’s an A-Z key on each print listing all 390 songs and the bands that sang them, and they’ve set up a playlist on Spotify to accompany the Map providing 23 hours worth of music.
