Sometimes, when I’m deep in thought I forget to turn on music in the car. My partner is convinced that i do it on purpose to piss them off. Really, my brain just sucks at multitasking.

So, I’d probably ride there in silence, but only because I forgot to turn on the music.

i like to listen to music while drawing but sometimes i start in silence, and i'm there thinking "gotta turn on the music" but i never actually do because i'm focused on drawing

Heh, I wish. I’m not exactly sure who he is, (even after reading his wiki) but I’m pretty sure he has a lot more money than me. Which would be nice.

Pedal to the metal and no distractions. Only the silent rage.

I think it would depend on how confident I am that I'd be able to beat the kidnappers.

If it's like inept comedy movie kidnappers and I feel like I'm on my way to deliver an ass kicking, then yes I'd play pump-up music.

If it's scary KGB/ISIS kidnappers and I'm probably on my way to perform a well-intentioned yet ultimately futile gesture where I'll likely get killed before I even get through the door, then probably no tunes for that one.

Who is your wife that she got kidnapped by comedy movie kidnappers?

Edit: sorry for the roast

Holding out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler. Crank that shit cause I'm the hero tonight!

Put on some eurobeat and get there in 15 minutes

31

Obviously I listen to music. Without listening to the DOOMSLAYER track, how do i do what I am about to do?

Guy has a chill ride by standards of the german FDP party (stop laughing french speakers that's what they call themselves).

The legal limit in the US in many places is 55mph. I'm too lazy to look up kilometers but that should give you an idea of the law breaking they are referencing.

2

there are signs on the freeways for 55 but you aren't actually supposed to do that (unless you're posting online or you see a cop)

*Spends 30 minutes trying to find a song*
What? I don't do good under pressure. Oh, maybe Under Pressure... hmm... nah... I mean it's good, but thematically isn't matching 100%.

21

This is the only correct answer here. If you wouldn't have posted it I would have.

That show used Phil Collins so much that eventually, they had to cast him as a drug kingpin.

Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins would be my vibe I guess

18

Ohhh… The Girl From Ipanema, Nat King Cole version.
Perfect for a warm summer night’s drive. Not sure about the other 27 minutes though.

13
lemmy.world

yes and I'd probably still sit in the driveway for a few min figuring out what I want to put on

13

scrolling idly on the phone

"What are you doing? We have your wife motherfucker!"

"Oh, just trying to figure out what music to kill you to"

8

For sure turning it off so I can give all my attention to driving and getting there fast plus not having an accident and never getting there.

11

Same. Don't have time to mess with turning it on, and I'd need ALL my focus to drive with the speed I'd be going at

3

Im driving there with my skateboard listening fleetwood mac without nagging..

11

I would just get NPR on, at the risk of hearing a really interesting segment of Radio Lab and having a driveway moment and sitting through the conclusion right as I get to the location.

9

I was going to say highway star but I am changing my mind for this now

1

That song is ruined now. Hopefully you don't show up and it's like funkytown with the kidnappers.

4

Nero - Doomsday

Has some "me against the world" vibes to it. Also, it's hard as fuck. Perfect kidnapper beatdown music.

6

Yeah, I would already be tuned to NPR, and it would be turned down slightly in order to concentrate on reckless driving.

2

I love when the metalheads show up in the comments for "what song..." Then proceed to list the equivalent of a mixtape of their fav genre lmao

Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse. Y'know, to set the mood for the beatings to come.

6

Realistically I wouldn't listen to music 'cause I Need to make a Plan and concentrate

6

that's definitely a music off situation

maybe a nice petulant podcast to calm me down

6

Appropriate, since it's the tenth anniversary of GTA V.

On a warm night my windows would be up and tight while AC is working full force to chill me up

5

Same. Need a cold front to roll the windows down. A warm night is 90 degrees and humid.

That's frustrating cause I didn't forget it. Lemmy's web interface is janky.

2

Music. And when I arrive I'd sit in the car until the current track finishes. Nothing interrupts A Rainbow in Curved Air.

4

Could take a while to get there using public transport, so I'll listen to music with my headphones, probably some from Hans Zimmer.

3

Nothing, I don't need music cluttering up my headspace while I'm worrying about rescuing my wife

3

Go back to the "driving to rescue her" part... Are you sure I'm not headed over for Chinese take out? For one?

3

Probably the Letterkenny Season One Soundtrack.

THE ELEVATOR OPENS FOR NO ONE

2

The Wheels On the Bus on loop and full blast is part of my shock and awe strategy.

2

I hope it happens during the morning rush hour so my spouse rescue mission kicks off to a sophomoric rock station morning show.

HONKHONKHONK AWOOGA glass smash & cat screech HERBIE AND DINGHOLE MORNING HOUR ON 93X explosion HOW THE FUCK DO SHOWS LIKE THIS STILL EXIST IN 2023? sick guitar riff

2

Honestly I used to love these ridiculous morning radio shows when I commuted lol - was super sad when my favorite one switched to music only

They're ridiculous and corny, but also fun

1

As you weren't paying attention to the road, you crash your car and die in a gasoline-fueled inferno.

I'd have some Cannibal Corpse on to get me in the mood for the slaughter

1

No, I’d finally be able to drive without needing to have music on at any given time.
