On the road! Will listen and comment later. Thanks everyone!

Good to see my Mexico friends again. Has it really been three years??

I would choose to go blind before going deaf.

My initial response to this was "oh, yeah, I could learn Braille and still read," which is really, really important to me, but then I thought about Art (Oh, say, Monet or Johns, or Van Eyck, or the Wilton Diptych) and Scenery (like, mountains and rivers and forests and shit) and, of course, finally, What My Wife Looks Like.

Oh.

Sure, I could still touch her, but that isn't the same thing as seeing her smile, her eyes.

So I think I would opt for deaf. It helps that my focus on music is classical, and I'm always running Tristan und Isolde through my head, anyways, with or without CD.

I can live without paintings if I had to. There is enough textural and sculptural art out there that it would not be a problem. And I am just fine when in pitch black darkness with my women. My hands "see" just fine.

But I would not want to live without sound.

One way in which we is differnt, I guess.

But we is missing Ms. K's point, which was music, and she's left, anyway, God bless her. I hope she packed some swell MP3s.

Like The Angels, anyway.

Last road trip I did was from Dortmund to Fussen and this was all over the radio.

The trouble with road trips and music, is that you can't hear it too well with the windows down. It's always such an agonizing choice. Sometimes the bugs chose for you.

For driving long ways Id say house, techno, trance. Some songs themed mexico/travel that come to mind.

The Rush (ultimate travel song)

Zocalo

El Nino

Saltwater

Halcyon

Some other stuffs

metallica

like a truck

Born to be wild

and of course, move bitch, get out the way

So, you're driving by my house again and not visiting. Shame, wont be here much longer.

For serious highway driving the album 'Dark Side of the Moon" is a must. Not just the song, the entire album. The Allman Brothers are also great for highway driving. Those long jam sessions on "Fillmore East" are gold.

 

[ouchfeelsgood]

Roadhouse Blues (The Doors), Highway 66 (Dylan), and most Allman Bros albums.

Ever listened to "Dub Side of the Moon"? It's a reggae cover of "Dark Side..." that also manages to sync up with The Wizard of Oz...

Some of my favourite stuff to play loud when driving long distances -

Led Zep - When the Levee Breaks, and Kashmir

AC/DC - Gone Shootin'

Radiohead - Creep

U2 - Angel of Harlem

Glenn Miller - In the Mood, and String of Pearls.
