"I am a Canadian by birth, but I am a Highlander by blood and feel under an obligation to do all I can for the sake of the Highlanders and their literature.... I have never yet spoken a word of English to any of my children. They can speak as much English as they like to others, but when they talk to me they have to talk in Gaelic."
-Alexander Maclean Sinclair of Goshen (protector of Gaelic Culture)
I like up beat music of all types when driving...if I listen to relaxing music I start feeling like I'm doing that commercial on U.S. television where the car rental company says" maybe we should put aromatherapy candles in the back window for all of our customers?" Next scene they show, 4 people going down the highway, all asleep with their mouths open... Then one person for the car rental company after visulaizing this says: "na, that might not be a good idea"
So I really like anything with a good "up beat" or good rhythme to it... Annabelle
Hah! Low Rider.....growing up in LA! (And that ain't Lousiana!)
My music list is way too long. Gotta get a couple or three more of those 12 disc holders for my truck.
One that stays on the list, tho, is my half-sister's band The California Girls (www.thecaliforniagirls.bizland.com). Sandy's the bass player in this all girl surf band form Los Angeles.
Like Annabelle sez, gotta keep the tempo up tho. I remember driving across Wyoming at 3AM (in my stories, it's always Wyoming and it's always 3AM) listening to some good blues (Albert King or sombody) and noticing how hard it was to keep above 40 mph! Every time I'd look at the speedo I was creepin!
Thinking about Satellite Radio for future long haul trips....or one of those .mp3 juke boxes that hold about a million tunes.....
.....used to play trumpet one handed (all together now) "...while driving across Wyoming at 3AM....."
No, actually on 101 running all night between San Jose and Long Beach, great fun playing along with the mariachi music going thru Salinas. "Aiiiiii, la musica de Los Tigres Del Norte......"

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
I know y'all have been anxiously awaiting this so here it is.

Rayando el Sol by Maná (well, practically anything by Maná, but this one really gets me)
Rayando el sol rayando por ti esta pena, me duele, me quema sin tu amor no me has llamado, estoy desesperado son muchas lunas las que te he llorado.
CORO Rayando el sol, oeooo desesperación es más fácil llegar al sol, que a tu corazón me muero por ti oeooo viviendo sin ti y no aguanto, me duele tanto estar así rayando el sol
A tu casa yo fui y no te encontré en el parque, en la plaza, en el cine yo te busqué, te tengo atrapada entre mi piel y mi alma más ya no puedo tanto y quiero estar junto a ti.
CORO CORO
Rayando por ti Rayando Rayando, ¡Uuuh, rayando, rayando el sol! Rayando, aya, ay, ay, ay, rayando el sol Rayando...

Get me going on a nice drive with some good trance techno. Trance Sunday Project, or The Cynic Project, and there was collaboration with Chicane for a techno piece....very nice called Saltwater. It starts you off nice and slow, before you know it, you are about 100 miles away from the exit that you were supposed to take lol. Kept me going for that 5000+ mile road trip across country.
I don't care about pollution, I'm an air conditioned gypsy,, thats not the solution, watch the police and the tax man miss me,, I'm moblieeeeeeeeeeeeee, woo hooooooo beep beep !

i agree w/ oldraven--i usually like to scream and shake my fist at the world. it is especially nice to have something like POD or Linkin Park or Rob Zombie on a clear moonlit night.
but when you're driving into a sunset or through wheat fields, it's got to be something...like i don't know what. Doobies, or something.
it is quite fun to imagine yourself as part of a movie--work in a chase scene or two between yourself and imaginary Crazed Evil Biker People. not advisable w/i city limits, but it certainly makes your life a bit more interesting!
