Its been hard past 2 hours, was actually busy in work, whats that about like

Yea i have a busy afternoon ahead, why on a friday afternoon ffs!

ShiverinEskimo

Listened to on the car's CD player on the way back from lunch:

Kings of Leon: Use Somebody

Lost Prophets: Tonight

Live: I Alone

Eddie Vedder: Hard Sun

And that's only because I stuck in Friday lunchtime traffic.

I have "Chinese Democracy" in the car at the moment as well as "Aha Shake Heartbreak"

Last week i took, no joke, 35 CDs outta the car. I listen to something, leave it there and add. I then empty the car and repeat. I feel "Ride The Lightening" will be returning to the car shortly.

~Rebel~

i used to do this, till i set up my ipod in the car, now i just put on whatever im in the mood for out of the whole lot. in some ways though the old way was better as it forced me to listen to some albums when otherwise i might have just gone for one of the regular ones i listen to

I like keepin CDs in the car. Its the only real chance I get to properly listen to music these days. I also love driving so I get to spend 2 quality past times in one. Music while driving.

ShiverinEskimo

I just keep burning new CDs as my moods take fancy to different tracks. Sometimes I burn a CD of all of just one artist, other times I make a mix.

Yea burn CDs for the car are epic win! I always do a good burn CD or 10 before a long drive. Need your drivin tunes!! AC/DC is always fun to drive to!

benefit of a tape deck though is that you can get a tape with headphones output that you can put into anything you want. Have my ipod playing through my tapedeck, works perfectly, not a bother.

Likewise i set up playlists for various occasions, have a cheese one for after pub house parties, also works well on road trips, have one specifically for surfing as well to get me in that bodacious mood! Have a metal one i use usually before football.

what's on ipod ?

this would be the general desured effect;

Frisbee

Ghetto Fabulous

My old car had the tape deck, the sound used to crack a lot though.

Now my car has no tape deck and I'm not arsed getting a iTrip or whatever its called.

Before I surf (rare enough lately) I used to listen to Incubus, Bob Marley, Hendrix and occasionaly the Beach boys (they're brilliant btw)

Before I train any martial arts or play soccer, it's metal, always metal.

If I'm chillin, it depends, can be acoutisc stuff, can be hip hop like J5 or The Roots, Common, Mos Def etc.

If I'm drivin to a partae its a mix of cheese and dance (Chem Bros, Prodigy, Daft punk etc etc)

Long drives require a mix but emphasis on the classic rock! Van Halen, AC/DC, Zeppellin, Bon Jovi etc.


Id imagine in Feb when I'm drivin down to do this skydive I'll need to blare out some Slayer or Machine Head!! :pac:



pfb, CD player in the car ain't posh, common as muck now, MP3 in the car is very poshe!

I'd love an iPod deck in my car

Frisbee

I have a 'psyche up' playlist I usually listen to before a match.
Last year when we made the final I put Al Pacino's 'Inches' speech from Any Given Sunday, the graveyard speech from 'Remember the Titans' and the epic Shane Falco speech on my ipod to listen to.

'Pain Heals, Chicks dig scars,
Glory lasts forever'

i like music i can sing along to when i am driving

i cant not bear to have dance music or anything with a continoues beat when i am driving it make me very angry and aggresive, and i am an angry aggressive driver normally

If i may, I recommend "Amon Amarth - With Oden On Our Side" Best adrenaline fuled metal album i've ever heard. Seen them twice live too, just ridiculous. im sure if hospitals ran out of adrenaline, playing this album would suffice as a substitute!

\m/__(>_<)__\m/

On a sidenote, what does everyone here drive?!

Yea Rebel, I'll likely listen to Killswitch Engage, they always get me amped up. they did a great cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" ... u heard it?!

Will check them out though.

I'm normally quite laid back (except when people push my buttons or I'm in a competition) but bad drivers bring out the RAGE!

Snap, great car is the Focus. Mines a 2001, 1.6 Zetec. Love it.

currently driving a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage
(except black)

but looking to change at the moment as im not confident of mine passing an NCT and they seem to be cracking down at the moment. Seems to be a buyers market now anyway. Looking at a second half 04 Alfa Romeo 156, and last night got to take an 03 Volvo S40 away for a test, taking it back after work today. Nice car, bit expensive for me though.

With all this talk of Musazk , I am going to see Director tonight.

Anyone know them, they were big last year, but really went off the map for a while, I hope they are good live.

There's was the last album I bought before I left Ireland. It's excellent.

Wouldn't trust any Alfa tbh. My girlfriend drives a 147 and she's had to spend a fair whack on it and she's only had it a year, and its a 04! Mate used to have a 156, cost him a fortune tbh. Italian cars are epis lose in terms of running costs I'm afraid.

yeah im a little wary alright, i really like that car though. The guy has a full service history so ill only be getting it if thats ok (he assures me the car has been incredibly well maintained), and a big factor is if he matches my price (which is quite ridiculously low). Ill only get it if its a serious bargain. Both the S40 and 156 have similer miles, and the 156 is a year newer, but im only willing to offer 3,000 less for the 156 then what the guy is asking for the S40, to make up for any potential fixes i have to do. I've done a lot of searchs for the exact model though, '04 156 JTD 1.9 and so far have largely read good things. Not come across any horror stories yet. (And its sooo perdy inside.. all the extras, leather seats et al)
