Earlier this year, two friends and I went on a road trip
from Wisconsin to the Grand Canyon and back. These are the
CDs that I think were the best for road tripping:

Queens of the Stone Age "Songs For The Deaf"
Zwan "Mary Star Of The Sea"

doing anything to underworld is amazing, because they are,
you guessed it, amazing.

Driving to NIN is dangerous because you feel like
speeding/running people/things over. Trust me, no good.

depends where i am travelling

country = boc - mhtrtc

city = squarepusher - music is rotted one note, afx -
analogue bubblebath 3

(the reason i use these cds is because i absolutely love
them - and they are mentally associated with my 2 week
vacation in British Columbia where i bought each of those
cds - listnening to music has the right... while looking
over the mountain range sitting on a 7000 foot high peak in
the rockies is one of the greatest experiences of my life.
so beautiful - brings a tear to my eye just thinking about
it.)

it's kinda weird to think about putting merzbow on for
casual listening, seems kind of academic music to me.. but
glad you enjoy it as a travel disc (can you drive w/ that
on? i'd crash)

more good driving music: outkast, tho be careful of the
weepers ("liberation" most notably)

For the actual act of driving... I have tons of mixed tapes
(no CD player available for car rides). But whenever I go on
a trip, I tend to pack WAY more CDs than I need.

I've listened to my mix tapes so much, I expect certain
songs to go together that really shouldn't fit at all. One
tape I have (over a year old and VERY used) has Cockver10
followed by Jimi's Little Wing, and I now anytime I hear
Cock, I expect Wing. Really weird.

If I was driving, I would imagine I'd fall asleep at the
wheel if I were to listen to something like Sigur Ros!

I like to listen to stuff with great beats, like any
Posthuman track. I also kick it to Nin's Fixed and PJ
Harvey's Rid of Me on a frequent basis. More rockish music
tends to sound better in my car, so that is usually what
I'll end up playing.

All of AI is great listening, I like Claro Intelecto's Peace
of Mind EP a ton for the commute to work.

i brought Thirstin Howl III when i was in NYC in March, just
cuz that's where he's from. well, i like a couple of his
songs too. now i wish i discovered Cannibal Ox sooner, cuz
they are from the same NYC district (Brooklyn).

Thirstin is a clown compared to CanOx.

before i started playin the tape deck in my car i had no

i was the passenger one night when the driver put on sigur
ros' ( ) and i'd never heard such sleepy music! as for rock,
i find that to be the only music i really won't put on while
driving, except neil young and mogwai. for me driving is
definitely either heavy beats (hip-hop, some electronica) or
acoustic guitars.

not me.. most young people listen to hip-hop in their cars,
outside of select social circles of course i think you'll
find that hip-hop is really the musical preference for
people our age. it's certainly huge here (also latin music
cos of the latino population). people only look at me weird
when i'm blasting classical in my car.

id say a lot of the stuff reccomended here is good but heres
some(i might be repeating some):

Modest Mouse
Mars Volta
Mr Bungle(or any patton stuff except maybe the solo albums
unless you want to listen to that driving)
Tortoise - millions now living...
boom bip
clouddead
a lot of stuff from cst and some from alien8
mira calix
sigur ros
dj shadow (definately)

for actual driving i tend to put easier listening stuff, but
i usually dont drive for a long time and when we go
somewhere far a away I use headphones and concentrate on the
music more.
