What's in your car??

[Smileyblue]

Hi all,

This is a little thread that I used to find myself a husband back in the day. :D

It seems like there is such a shortage of good music on offer and I thought it would be interesting to get an insight into what people are actually listening to.:Wink:

Cheers

[digiengineer]

I currently have 6156 songs in my car, care for a list? :grin:

Alright there digi, maybe just 4 or 5 of the more unusual ones

[digiengineer]

I'll narrow it down a bit, here are the albums I'm listening to this week:

John Legend - Once Again
Nicolay - Here
V - The Revelation Is Now Televised
Jamiroquai - Runaway and Radio (new songs from their recent singles collection)
Jay-Z - Show Me What You Got (Single)

[Test4Echo]

In the car - for a while now it's been "Rapture of the Deep", Deep Purple latest album. It's been there since it came out, when I think about it...:-) In there are also "Magnification" - Yes, "Trick of the Tail" - Genesis.

At home I have a Queen-revival right now. Just bought "Sheer Heart Attack", "A Night at the Opera", and "Innuendo".

In my iPod there's lots of Pink Floyd: "Animals", "Wish You Where Here", "Pulse". And of course Roger Waters - "Amused to Death" - one hell of an album.

Mostly oldies as it seems. With very few exceptions I don't seem to find music made nowadays very interesting. But on the other hand - I don't look very hard either... ;-)

/Cheers

[Fulcrum]

Kino - Picture
Spock's Beard - Day For Night
Frost* - Milliontown
Steely Dan - Aja
The Very Best of Frank Sinatra

[E. Shaun]

I've been listening to a lot of gothabilly / gothic country stuff lately.

Sixteen Horsepower
Slim Cessna's Auto Club
Woven Hand...

Still loving the latest Muse album, too.

Tammikuu and Santeri got me on to Jay Munly (who is in Slim Cessna's Auto Club) and Nick Cave, and when they were here last month, I got them on to Sixteen Horsepower and Woven Hand...so it's a fair trade, I think.

Meanwhile, I have a Jay Munly and Nick Cave CD on order... :Wink:

Sorry. I left a few things out:

tow chain
shovel
2 flashlights
fire starter
camping chair
and 2 rolls of asswipe in a plastic bag.

I really ought to get one of those little 4 track recorders to toss in there, but I'm kinda concerned about the extra weight.

[Tim Armstrong]

I have my iPod w/iTrip transmitter. Random play with around 900 songs (rock, blues, country, bluegrass, jazz, CaPE stuff, comedy bits, etc).

Best radio station in town!

Cheers, Tim

how often do you make it to disc 6?


:icon_eek:

[Azraphael]

how often do you make it to disc 6?


:icon_eek:

More often than I'd care to admit.... thankfully it's usually only a matter of moments before the skip button is pressed. It's actually only in there because the case is in the house, and I can't stand leaving CDs out of the case, regardless of how crappy they might be. And, with this record, I don't find myself thinking about it often enough to remember the case for it.

All that being said, I dunno... sometimes you just need a dose of overwrought anthemic rock sung by a 50-something overweight man pretending to be a high school football hero.

Or maybe it's just me.

Seriously though, I picked it up for $9 out of curiousity, and was surprised to see the likes of Brian May, Steve Vai and Nikki Sixx in the assorted album credits.

None of which helped it very much, though. A couple of quasi-listenable tracks, but it's a novelty that wore off after the 5th listen.... particularly the rendition of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" (yes, that's right, the song Celene Dion made famous).

Cheers,

Dave

[Unfcknblvbl]

An f'in' new battery as the old one died on me this morning - that wasn't in the budget this month!

:Sad:

[Smileyblue]

Wow, so great to see such an eclectic array of unusual music.

A hodgepodge of old & new albums.

Of course the ever enduring Metal genre features heavily, along with jazz, blues, country and rock but not so much Pop and no Hip Hop/Rap/R&B.

Great guys,

Keep em coming...

I unfortunately do not have an operational stereo in my car because Slipperman won't get it fixed. He likes the sound of silence.

I hear that. Today I have a slashed 265/70/R16 Michelin LTX tire riding around in the back of the 4 Runner. What is the goddamn fascination with cutting people's tires?

Totally not ready to shell out $180 for a new tire. It was barely a year old too.

[kwiksilver]

Don't have a CD player in my car. So it's the local college jazz station or NPR to the Park n' Ride.

Portable CD player on the bus to work.

Lately I've been listening to "The Road to Escondido" - JJ Cale and Eric Clapton

[pounce]

i got a super fancy ipod hookup and satellite radio now. plus a half dozen mix cd's i made that are now sort of a moot point since i have the whole ipod controlled via some magic lcd touchscreen thingy. what i'm listening to much less is local radio. we'll see. this is my test for satellite radio. lots of stations in all sorts of genres, but satellite radio has terrible sound quality. so therefore, even with the selection, i can't listen to it for long goes at a time.

I use them quite a bit, but I was just going for the instant gratification of a local tire shop. Riding around on a 9 year old dry-rotted spare tire is, how do you say, sketchy?

Although the tirerack price is probably worth waiting for.

Yeah, I've got 4 free months of XM that I haven't used because I'm not impressed with the stations; besides, it's going to be the same music I have loaded on my iPod anyway. iPod integration is probably the best move car manufacturers have made in a long time.

[Slipperman]

I unfortunately do not have an operational stereo in my car because Slipperman won't get it fixed. He likes the sound of silence.

Yes, he does.

And he will stomp any fucking noisemaking gadget that goes into the car into a pile of silicon rubble. Then he will incinerate the remains.

HOHOHO.

SM.


PS. He also likes bonafide CUBAN cigars. And will kill anyone who tries to deprive him of them.

Including, but not limited to the government.

Or any "Foreign Goverment" or even any "emmisary of a Foreign power".

Thats amazing! I would never have taken Slipperman for a Simon and Garfunkel guy!





On the one hand, I can see his position... For road trips with my brother, I keep a CD with one 74 minute track of silence. I put it into the rotation just to give myself chill-time.

On the other hand, I feel your pain. You just need to leverage your position: you don't need a stereo, you need a car!

[bbchessman]

300 disposable lighters

.

That is NO Exageration. I can vouch for it. Might be a tad more than 300.


I'm currently listening to some great mixes PimpX did for me of one of the bands we work with.





Before that, it was a backwards masking recording Slipperman made for me of an Anita Bryant album. He recorded the whole fucking thing backwards. It's got hidden messages all through it.

Fucking Great job Slippy. You're the best.

The fucking best!

"I buried Paul"

BTW: The Tangent board is working out great. . Are you sure the Back In Black album was tracked through this thing?

[blackieC]

Late breaking changes to the Camry playlist;

The Drive By Truckers - Decoration Day

The Blasters - The Complete Slash Recordings (both discs)

(oooohhh, Dark Night gives me the hoo-hoo-jebees)

[Mixerpuppet]

I accidentally locked my Cd collection in the glovebox... So I can only speculate...

There was a

Queensryche CD (Mindcrime)

Racer-X "Live Extreme Volume"

Chevelle (I can't remember)

there are 2 mix check cd's from bands I recorded at my old studio...

how does your xm sound? mine sounds pretty bad like a low bitrate mp3 or something akin to it (which i'm sure is precisely the case, some kind of uber-compression). i liked being on an 8 hour road trip and always having music there. i'm still learning the stations. since there are 174 of them, i haven't gotten used to them all yet. but i'm not sure if i'll renew with them or not at this point.
