Yo La Tengo is my favourite driving band.

Based on my experience of listening to Bardo Pond while doing the washing up (I lost concentration and no washing up got done), listening to them while driving could be potentially fatal :eek:

Awesome album. I t just feels right when driving to me

David Bowie - Always Crashing In The Same Car

Anything by Kraftwerk or Pansonic.

This all great stuff I hadn't thought about. A lot of it too is stuff I have on my list of things to get.

Plastikman - Spastik. Many was the happy hour I used to spend driving with that on repeat.

For example?

Sometimes I'll stick to the radio when driving long distances for the novelty. Last time, my friend and I found an awesome jazz station that was playing some free jazz stuff and then a radio station that played only 80's underground metal and hardcore punk. I loved it.

Everything else was shit or spanish radio, though.

I'll just mention that you can download this for free from Plastikman's website (http://www.plastikman.com/). Well, you don't actually download it, it downloads itself when you listen to it and you then just copy the MP3 from your temporary internet files folder to somewhere more convenient.

Click the link above, enter the site, click on recycled plastik on the menu at the top of the page, click on tracks, click on the little speaker icon to the left of spastik. That'll play the track, and then, assuming you like it, you can go into your temporary internet files folder, find it, and, like I said, copy it to somewhere more convenient and burn it onto your compilation CD for the journey.

Nefeli - please, just for me, add this to the playlist for your journey.

i love driving music and walking music. when i put something on my ipod i do it with walking in mind.

I used to enjoy making compilations with running in mind - long tracks with a good even tempo so I could run with the beat.

Which reminds me that I never got round to listening to that LCD Soundsystem track that they put together for Nike. Does anyone have a link, please?
