What do you listen to when you're driving?
 
I got my license last week and I have yet to listen to Sonic Youth while driving. I have to share a car with my sister for a couple months and there's only her CDs in the car. So I was wondering what you all like to listen to while you are driving. Tell me whatever gives you the best driving experience; it doesn't have to be Sonic Youth.

Well, I usually don't listen to music in the car, unless I'm on my way to a big show. So, recently, Dinosaur Jr., & SY.

Driving listening to Sister is really amazing. Modest Mouse make good car music too.

marleypumpkin 04.15.2006 08:21 PM

yeah, now that you mention it, "Sister" is a good road trip album.

Really? I know some of the others haven't been too hot.
I like these one-run games we're winning though. :cool:

I'm not sure who Swervedriver are, but you're so right about nothing beating a nice drive. I prefer driving at night though.

Yep, Bedard is 3-0 along with Curt Schilling and he hasn't been giving up hardly any runs or walks. Now our other pitching is another story.....Cabrera is a loose cannon who ends up throwing at batters heads when he starts to get hit. Kris Benson has actually pitched really well even though the Orioles haven't scored many runs for him so he only has one win. Benson was a top pitcher in the Pirates organization a few years back before he got traded to the Mets, so I think he will be decent.....nothing spectacular though.


I think I have Frank Zappa's Bongo Fury in my car right now........

I cannot even drive without listening to my music. It just irritates me. I always have to have music on in my car otherwise I get pissed. I listen to practically anything in my cd collection, evrything from Abandon Jalopy to Neil Young. Driving yr car and listening to music go together like goat cheese and turnips.

FUCK, I WANT A CD PLAYER IN MY CAR!!!

i have a tape player in mine. my tape collection is pretty small, but i have some decent stuff: Dust, by the Screaming Trees ("Witness" is the best speeding song ever); Last Splash, by the Breeders; Ill Communication, by the Beastie Boys; To Mother, by the Babes in Toyland; and i just got NYC Ghosts & Flowers on tape (but i'm grounded at the moment, so i won't be driving with it for a while).

when i do drive a car with a CD player, i typically go with something pretty heavy, like Primus or White Zombie.

For some reason 'Swervedriver' and 'car' don't seem to mix so well.

Grete 04.16.2006 02:26 AM

uhm Patti Smith, , Radiohead, marlene Kuntz and..radio k-rpck sometimes

Gulasch Noir 04.16.2006 05:13 AM

I listen to all my old tapes. A few years ago i used to tape from radio. I also got to know sonic youth in this vein. My music tastes back than not always have been superiour, but I don't have an alternative anyway.

johnnywinternoshow 04.16.2006 06:02 AM

Samuel...I must reiterate that the "MMMM" in your signature still makes me think of you jerking off at the keyboard. Combined with your old name of "JiggleJiggly"...frankly, you worry me, boy.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Naturally it depends on mood. I've gone on about this before, but I quite like Mogwai during long drives on summer nights. Sometimes I throw on some Darkthrone, and that makes me pissy and I drive like a maniac. So don't do that. Anything fun to sing to is also a good choice. I was belting some Devo out the other day and got some odd looks, but they're great for a drive on a sunny day.

Wait, what am I telling you this for? Here's a simple suggestion: put your own CDs in the car, and, like, listen to 'em.

jon boy 04.16.2006 08:31 AM

mood is all important.
personally sun city girls is a good one. or superwolf. to be honest i can think of so many things that are good to drive to that i cant list them all here. as truncated said, if i put on anything to aggressive or loud or energetic then i end up driving like a real fuckhead.

i have noe actually driven for several years owing to a very bad accident i got into so this is based on when i did or being a passenger which is quite a different experience to driving.
