What music to play in a newly bought car?
 

Hey,

bought me a car last week and I can pick it up on thursday. It's a second hand Citroen Xsara, which looks something like this:





It's the same colour too, if this is siver. (edit: mine has 5 doors though, just see that the one in the pic has 3)
So what should I play for music when I first drive in it? Yes it has a CD player, even though it originally had a cassette player. It's a 1999 built, only ran 44.000km :)
If you want to know what music I'm into click the last.fm playlist to see my favourite artists. You will have to replace Bill Frisell with Crosby, Stills & Nash though.

and I hate the Crash Test Dummies!!

I'm planning on buying some CDs tomorrow, the new Dinosaur Jr if I like it, and the new Wir Sind Helden if my local store sells it. But any recommendations are welcome.

If you don't know the Helden yet, click here: http://fm4.orf.at/connected/218365/main
Click on the picture to start the video stream. And fast forward on the two covers in English, they shouldn't have done that.

Blondie... preferably the Autoamerican album.

Don't play music, watch a porno DVD WHILE DRIVING.

I can only think of The Breeder's "Drivin' On 9."

shellac - terraform is the best album to play in a newly-bought car.

You've got the right idea already, the new dinosaur jr album for your new car, drive safe.

I posted the lyrics to Rapture(appears on Autoamerican) in one of the Do You Believe in Rapture? threads when RR came out.

allow me to get loose with the grammar

Man, you would not believe the shit it stirred up. All I did was post some lyrics, that's it, but Toilet & Bowels then posted that all my opinions were shit. Just because I had posted some Blondie lyrics "rapture" in a thread called "do you believe in rapture?"

So, he pounced, and forced me either defend Blondie or make fun of them.
I defended them. They are not one my absolute favorites, but damn.
It was just ridiculous how I had to spend thirty minutes writing reply after reply just because some lame jokerhead wanted to antagonize me.

So, that's my "blondie on the board" story. Since then, Thurston has mentioned Blondie in several interviews because Coco digs 'em, and so now the board is "safe" for Blondie, haha, I suppose.

P.S. People SUCK

Road Runner by the Modern Lovers rules for new car love.

that's baller.

i always listen to raekwon's "only built 4 cuban linx" in my car. it may bump equally as well in yours.

blondie rule. or is it "blondie rules". either way, 'parallel lines' is a banger.

everything's a big drama with you isn't it?

exchange "fucking travesty" with "big drama" and call him "Donnie." pretty please.

blonde suck.

atari limit your signature to less than three pages please! Ha, I've just blocked your images with Firefox's Adblock Plus addon :D

thanks to all the rest of you. I might give blondie a try, most songs I know of them I like, but never listened to a full cd of them, except their greatest hits.
Listened to samples of Shellac last night, even though they sounded pretty good it's too aggressive to what I'm looking for. Might be something for when I'm driving in Germany, but max speed from home to work is mostly 100km/h :mad:

Breeders' Last Splash I've listened to so much that it doesn't thrill me anymore (which is a pity though)

pacific coast highway: good one :-)

The Beach Boys, but that would help if you lived on the West Coast.

i seem to remember some jokerhead pouncing on me for enjoying a certain numerically-titled action movie.

beh, on the recent subject of melt-banana, cellscape is one of my favorite driving records

devo is good too!

for lazy hot afternoons when you need to mellow & drive slow, try mazzy star

and clone's pick of roadrunner is perfection

Oh, yeah, man! In fact, the whole album is a pretty good car album.

if i listened to melt banana while driving, i think i'd run off the road...in a good way.

You're all just desperately looking for an excuse not to suggest ZZ Top's Eliminator, I can tell!

...and how about the mightiness of Christopher Cross's "Run Like The Wind"?

Bat Out of Hell!

how about early morning when I want to drive fast, but I can't because of all the people in front of me. Will it mellow me down? I'm not a morning person and always late, which is not a good combination ....

I'm now listening to the new Dinosaur Jr, sounds great so far, I even like Lou's songs! Can't pick up the car until late afternoon tomorrow though, was hoping it would be ready in the morning ;-(

I've been in love with Blondie for about 7 years now. They were one of the first bands I ever had a hard-on for. Although they never seemed to be too hot as a live act, that doesn't change the fact that their albums are ridiculously good. I may listen to them less now, but that doesn't mean I love them any less.

Fuck everyone else Atari... let's run away together... Debbie Harry can sing at our fucking wedding.
