Is there no one in this club besides me that likes Jazz? Listen to McCoy Tyner's "Song of the New World" and you will end up doing triple digits!

Oooh, good one! "Celestial Chant" would be good for a laid back ride in the twisties.

Ok a bit off beat but  I like bluegrass when I ride.

Jerry Douglas is first class riding music. Shostakovich and National Park speed limits just don't mix for me. And I need to be on a freeway to listen to any of The Pretty Things albums after Parachute.

One of my profs down here was in the premiere and first run of Einstein on the Beach, and said that it was just crazy to have to sing. She got to meet Philip Glass as well and was told by him that he composed that piece for an audience to be able to just show up when they wanted to, and leave when they wanted to, not for them to sit and watch all 6 hours at once.

if you haven't heard it i need to check out hydrogen jukebox. its philip glass wilth libretto by allen ginsberg. crazy vocal arrangements and some eerie spoken word.

and to all the bluegrass guys, i dig that stuff as well. a few years ago my wife and i ran into jerry douglas at home depot. dobro players need mulch too.

TiMG - doing his mix of Jay-Z and Hendrix. Hendrix is laying down the ripping guitar in the back and JayZ is talking about how he's got "99 problems, but the bitch ain't one."

Makes me do nutty things every time it appears on the iPod when I'm riding.

Also, "**** List" by L7 does it too, as do any of my Black Flag or Cypress Hill tunes.

Oh yeah, most Public Enemy does that to me too. And those Yeah, yeah, yeahs tunes Chacifer sent me too.

Call me Mr. Uncontrollable Urge.

Why David, I am appalled!

And your niece? Contributing to the deliquency of an adult

I'll fess up. A couple of week back, I was headed up the coast when
shuffle mode bailed me out with a bunch of surf tunes followed by a
selection that included Robin Trower and Sean Paul.

It sounded good...

Derek- I *TOTALLY* agree about Powerslave!!!!!
'Aces High' goes through my head (no on-bike audio as yet...) as I make a ludicrously-stupid-fast-pass by a big bunch of slow Harleys, my waving hand high overhead as I dust them off and disappear over thre next hill...

When I get the on-bike setup, the playlist will be nauseatingly diverse.

And actually, the last time I was pulled over was two weeks ago in the company van- and I had NPR talk on the radio!

 

[einnar]

I listen to XM radio when I ride, so I can't give you a playlist, per se...

The one time I did get pulled over for 'enthusiastic throttle (ab)use' the song on the XM was Rammstein - Fire Freui. Fortunately, the cop was a metal fan and a biker. He got interested in my tank bag electronics, so we chatted for about 10 mins about it. I let him listen to it a bit, and he let me go.

Esoterica

Frankly Glass would make me want to crash my bike at 120. I prefer the sonorous melodies of Gregorian chant sung by the Trappists at the Monastery of Gethsemany. Really makes you want to sprout wings if you catch my drift.
