|   Driving tune suggestions! | Gazz
Apr 29, 2003 1:17 PM | | Doing a road trip from Vancouver BC to Whitefish, Montana this weekend. I'm interested (er, desperate) to hear your driving tune suggestions!
Others on the trip have more delicate sensibilities than mine, so the Dead Kennedy's "Buzzbomb from Pasadena" won't be in the mix. Damn. |
| Polka. Polish polka. [nm] | Pete.

| And don't forget some kielbasa. | scorcher seb
Apr 29, 2003 1:40 PM | | You wouldn't want to be in the middle of nowhere enjoying your polka and suddenly be taken by the urge for some good kielbasa. |

Apr 29, 2003 1:41 PM | | There would be a bloodbath before we hit the first Tim Hortons. |
| Quick! Duck! | Pete.

| Two CDs I never leave at home... | Fat-tire
Apr 29, 2003 1:24 PM | | Steve Miller's Greatest Hits (Joker, Keep on Rocking, Take the Money and Run, etc.) and Van Morrison's Greatest Hits Vol. 2...
Lately, it's been Wilco Yankee Front Hotel (thanks in part to this board).
Also, my CD case has the following: Any of a number of Grateful Dead Dick's Picks, Oysterhead (an acquired taste probably best left for a late night, and headphones), Cracker Golden Age, Jimi Hendrix Greatest Hits, Ben Folds Five Naked Baby Pictures, Primus (I play Jerry was a Race Car Driver over and over), and Hepcat (check them out, it's a "fun" album). |
| If you like Wilco and you're not averse to ... | scorcher seb
Apr 29, 2003 2:03 PM | | ...errr ... freshening up the content of your CD case, you should check out Loose Fur aswell. |
| If you like Wilco and you're not averse to ... | VertigoDC
Apr 30, 2003 10:48 AM | | there's also the minus 5 "down with wilco" cd that's pretty good. |

Primus! I've been threatening to play "Winona's Big Brown Beaver" at dinner parties. |
| If its your car and you're driving.... you pick the tunes | wg

| Live DMB without a doubt! | bob
Apr 29, 2003 2:00 PM | | I refuse to drive any long distances without any one of the live, double CD, Dave Mathews Band discs. Take your pick...Live at Redrocks, Listener Supported, or, the most recent, Live in Chicago (best version of #41 ever), or if you're feeling accoustic Live at Luther College.
Bob |
| Oh Yeah I agree! My Favorite at the moment has actually been: | Trevor!
Apr 29, 2003 3:20 PM | | Busted Stuff - Love it when I am driving.
41 Happens to be a favorite song of mine so I will have to get the Live in Chicago CD!
Damm I love DMB! Carter Beauford rocks!!!!! |

Apr 29, 2003 2:33 PM | | are a few of the CD's i'm listening to right now. Talk about a wide range of music! All good listening too.
If you are gonna ride (if the snow is melted up high yet?) stop by Glacier Cyclery in whitefish and ask for Jan or Leet for the beta on the local goods. Have fun! |
| cool... | Gazz
Apr 29, 2003 2:48 PM | | will do. My riding time will be directly proportional to the amount of time my wife spends in a languorous stupor at the spa. This one's gonna cost me. |
| Excellent choices! Here's some more: Arling & Cameron... | Dave W.
Apr 29, 2003 3:07 PM | | Arling & Cameron "All In" -- truly bizzare, but one of the all-time great road CDs.

Brazzaville "Somnambulista" and "2002"
Nicola Conte "Jet Sounds"

Apr 29, 2003 5:57 PM | | we obviously have very similar tastes in music - i'll have to pick up the ones you mentioned not on my list.
BTW, I love St. Germain Tourist. Haven't gotten Boulevard *yet*.
Another real trippy night driving cd we enjoy is B-Tribe
"!Spiritual,Spiritual!" Anything from B-Tribe is good.
Like old school rap? A Tribe Called Qwest "Midnight Marauders" is one everyone must add to their collection too... |
| Absolutely... | Dave W.
Apr 29, 2003 6:49 PM | | Yup, already have Midnight Marauders. :-) No B-Tribe, though ... thanks. |

| Wow - nothing like asking questions built for diverse answers | Dijridoo
Apr 29, 2003 4:22 PM | | As with others I'm sure, my tastes change. BUT, currently my 10 CD trip would have:
Morphine - Cure for Pain
Cake
Phish - Farmhouse
Soul Coughing - Ruby Vroom
Jon Spencer Blues-X - orange (anybody else think Suby picked a great tune for the Lance commercials?)
Fugazi - anything, but probably 13 Songs or Steady Diet of Nothing
Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger
Pressure 4-5
Kasey Chambers
Southern Culture on the Skids - Dirt Track Date
And of course nobody should be allowed to leave without some Reverend Horton Heat. I know it's technically 11, but the Rev counts as religion, so sue me. |
| *busted* | Gazz
Apr 30, 2003 8:34 AM | | true! but I have pretty diverse tastes, so it's all good. As well, I need a mix of hopped-up stuff to encourage speeding and some mellow oddities for the wee hours. Lots of stuff suggested that I don't know, so I'll be sure to check it out. |
| I don't leave home without: | mad rhetorik
Apr 29, 2003 6:32 PM | | Ramones: Leave Home (hehe) Rocket To Russia
Fugazi: 13 Songs, Repeater, or In On The Kill Taker
Queens Of The Stone Age: Songs For The Deaf
Pixies: Surfer Rosa, Doolittle
Tool: Undertow or Lateralus
King Crimson: Red
Pink Floyd: Animals
Clash: self-titled (UK)
White Stripes: Elephant
The Who: Live At Leeds
"Delicate?" Whatcha talkin' bout Willis? :P |
| You Can Never Go Fast Enough (two lane blacktop OST) | narlus
Apr 29, 2003 7:49 PM | | it's a made-up soundtrack to the movie _2 lane blacktop_, which has a plethora of great bands. from the Forced Exposure website:
"The tribute album to Monte Hellman's cult favorite Two-Lane Blacktop. Featuring new exclusive tracks by Wilco, Sonic Youth, Will Oldham/Alan Licht, Calexico, Giant Sand plus Suntanama, Charalambides, Mark Eitzel/Marc Capelle, Roy Montgomery, Alvarius B. and Steffen Basho-Junghans. Also includes rare tracks by Cat Power, Roscoe Holcomb, Leadbelly and Sandy Bull."
this is great listening. |
| this......... | Steve-O
Apr 30, 2003 5:22 AM | | Current rotation in the car includes:
Mabel Mabel - Self titled (Local Chicago Band)
Greatful Dead - American Beauty
Moby - Play
North Mississippi All Stars - 51 Fantom
Tom Petty - Greatest Hits
And this gem that I got at a Critical Mass ride last summer. While not everyone agrees about the goals of CM, they put together a fun CD that's all bicycle/traffic related...

Apr 30, 2003 7:26 AM | | lol. When I was in jr. high, I recited that in english class during what was supposed to be a poetry recital.
"...plow through reststop san-o-lets, SPLAT! goes the lonely salesman...still waaanking in the mens room"
It was a big hit.
Other stuff to listen to? Can't go wrong with:
Fu Manchu: 'The Action is Go'
Kyuss: 'Blues for the Red Sun'
DJ Shadow: 'Endtroducing'
Wellwater Conspiracy: 'Declaration of Conformity'
Hater: (self titled)
Skeleton Key: 'Obtainium'
Jon Spencer Blues Explosion: 'Acme' or 'Now I got Worry'
Secret Chiefs 3: 'Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws'
And, last but most definitely not least!:
Mr. Bungle's 1991 self-titled, major-label debut. The best damned album of all time!!!! Buy it now! You won't regret it. |
| JAWBREAKER!.... | eelpie
Apr 30, 2003 8:14 AM | | Bivouac and 24 Hour Revenge Therapy oughta do for starters. |
| How about Oi Polloi, or SubHumans, MDC,....... | old Oi Punk
Apr 30, 2003 9:44 AM | | ...but I suppose if DK's frazzle their nerves, Oi Polloi would definitely snap them completely!!Those are Political Punk/hardcore groups that could ignite interesting debates, just to pass the time!!!! |
| Surprised I haven't seen some of these mentioned.... | RM Rider
Apr 30, 2003 12:03 PM | | My fave's for looong road trips:
Radiohead - The Bends (sort of an acquired taste but GREAT)
Ben Harper!! - Fight for Your Mind / Diamonds on the Inside
JGB - the double live album (Dead but no JGB - for shame!)
Dave Brubeck - Take Five (one of the greatest starter jazz albums)
Willy Porter - self titled or Dog Eared Dream (awe-inspiring acoustic)
Morcheeba - Big Calm (GREAT GREAT relaxing low-key famale vocals)
This is all I can bring to mind presently but we had VERY similiar tastes and I think these would be good matches - ENJOY and safe travels! |
| "starter" jazz... | Gazz
Apr 30, 2003 1:50 PM | | *snicker*
I probably will take Dave & Miles along for the ride. Actually saw Dave Brubeck live last year - GREAT performance. Minimal stage-diving.
Hmmm. Must check out Morcheeba. |
