Road Music

by Pick1 @ 2008-07-26 - 12:49:05

In lieu of a coherent post I’d like to share two fairly random musings.

Firstly why do taxi drivers always have such terrible taste in music? Last night I endured a 30 minute taxi journey which was soundtracked by The Best of Meatloaf. Believe me that is more Meatloaf than I ever want to hear again.

Secondly as it’s that time of year when young adults drive around in pimped up Corsas blaring out God-awful music I feel the need to ask this question: Why do people who pump music out of the cars always have the worst taste in music? How come you never come across a pimped-up Corsa blaring out Beethoven's Sixth Symphony or Miles Davis or Joy Division or Arcade Fire?

Anyway I’m just off to drive to the shops with my windows wound down and Neutral Milk Hotel playing on full blast.

Well, I can honesly say that Meatloaf is nowhere near as bad as having to listen to Haifa Wehbe at 8am with a hangover.

Then again Fairuz and Um Kalthuim isn't band. Heard of them?
