It depends on my mood also. I love all Duran Duran... Had a hugh crush on the drummer when I was young. Now I've been playing a lot of the new Coldplay, "Viva La Vida" and the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.

Any of the three Spanish Harlem Orchestra CDs. Anything by Third World. Ozomatli. Michael Franti and Spearhead. Salsa and reggae, my big loves. Interspersed with Garbage and MIA.

I plug in my iPod and shuffle through my whole "eclectic mix," which is everything but classical. There's very little heavy metal, but other than that it could be anything. The other day it went straight from Hank Williams' "I Saw the Light" to Talib Kweli's "Say Something" to something by Ani di Franco to something else by Yo La Tengo - and so on.
I love it, but not everyone can stand the culture shock.

Absolutely depends on the mood and the length of the trip. Around the city, I just tune to NPR or the local jazz station. For long trips, some road-trip cd faves include: the soundtracks from Boys on the Side, Moulin Rouge and the Big Chill, ABBA greatest hits and lately, anything from Jesse Cook (a fantastic guitarist whose sound is jazz, latin and world music).

Lots and lots of Pearl Jam. My ipod contains a little bit of everything from 80's music to Toby Keith.

Michael Ducet and Beau Soleil (cajun zydeco, sung mainly in cajun french) is my current favorite.
I also have a compellation CD of "Hard Classics" - according to the liner notes, the "loud, head banging, classical music". Brass instruments, drums, its best played cranked up. I especially love playing the Bacchanal from Sampson and Delilah cranked up. Even more fun when heads turn from other cars at traffic lights.
In general I like happy music, with a good beat. So if I'm not listening to NPR on the radio, I'm listening to Cajun Zydeco. Some of that is still blues, but overall it has that zydeco beat.Last edited by bmccasland; 06-26-2009 at 04:49 AM.
