Shitely music

[Cord Fourteener]

I dug this out recently and it reminded me of road trips and also walking down the local garage for shopping late at night, and I thought this is a very Shitely song, so I thought I'd share it here. Anybody else have Shitely music?

Not road trips per se but early memories of driving. Back in 1995 I bought a double CD compilation which I think was titled: "The best punk album in the world...ever!" . I recorded both discs onto C90 cassettes to play in my first car: a vermillion 1979 Mini 1000. Was an absolute belter of album: started with Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols and I think ended up some punk poetry by John Cooper Clarke (Kung Fu International). "Never Mind the Bollocks" too and the first two Oasis albums and other Britpop stuff.

Unfortunately, my parents' house got burgled in February 1996 so I start my CD collection from scratch and buy a mini hi fi.

[Cord Fourteener]

How rude, burgling music from your parents house. And presumable tons of other stuff. Not nice. I was totally into Britpop for a while, and I remember doing road trips to this as well:

Back in the day, when I had £££ to piss away, myself and my mate Vic Smooth (stage name ?) would have a weekly road trip, either with him driving "Brown Dog", a MK1 Cavalier 2000GLS, or myself in either my Capri or whatever detritus my brother had hanging about at the time.

Mix tapes were common, but he was obsessed with The Ramones, and there's only so many times you can hear 1-2-3-4 and then 3 chords before they start to blur into one.

This album became a favourite, as did the follow-up, Sea Monsters.

This was another, we were both big fans of this, and managed to convert the lead singer of our band (aka Eddie Shit) into the ways of Black Frank and co; to the extent that when Mr Frank released his solo album, his partner threatened to leave him after he put it on repeat for 5 hours.....

And thirdly....
this was another favourite, best played as loud as possible.

Pixies! and Wonderstuff!

I used to like all that stuff. I had REM Automatic for the people for a family trip with my parents into Scotland and the next year for a similar Scottish adventure I listen to Ocean Colour Scene, Mosely Shoals - though these days I would listen to Submotion Orchestra, Bonobo, Jaga Jazzist etc and all sorts of modern folk music. And Radio 3.

I've currently got HMHB's last album (No-one Cares About Your Creative Hub So Get Your Fuckin' Hedge Cut) in the CD player in the Golf. One of their best, IMHO. Every Time A Bell Rings is a cracker for playing in the car.

got this in the CD player of the Croma

1970s and 1980s West Coast soft rock aka "Yacht Rock" i.e. Hall & Oates, Christopher Cross, Toto, Captain & Tenille, Rupert Holmes, the Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Steely Dan, Michael McDonald, Loggins & Messina et al. I blame my father for getting me into such music back in the 1980s

My dad has a lot of this in his collection especially the eagles, & I have followed suite somewhat

Running around in clapped out VW beetles, listening to Cosmic Thing on tape by the B52s driving the width and breadth of the UK. 
Life was a lot more simple then.

Really enjoyed the Groove Armada track again. The Beloved “Sun Rising” is another trip hop classic. Great CD but not quite as good as the Groove Armada track...

Snow Patrol I find makes excellent driving music.

Spoke to my co-driver from back in the day, and mentioned this thread, and he reminded me of a couple of more;

And this one too....

[Cord Fourteener]

Some good choices there! I've done some Primus-fuelled trips in my time, notably in my Escort mk5 M reg back in early to mid 2000s. Also, good shout on the Cardiacs, a band I've only recently discovered!

[Cord Fourteener]

This is the stuff of current road trips, though I usually don't have music on these days, I quite the engine noise. But If I'm really bored or stressed out I do

I've been into.prog since I first discovered peter gabriel and genesis in 76-77 , the usual stuff ELP Yes  etc

Moved on to porcupine tree ,steven wilson, riverside ,lunatic soul, gazpacho, 

I did have a girlfriend in the 80s who tried to style me out of denim , I gave in and let her take me to a "boutique"

Picked out some trousers and a burgundy shirt with ruffles on , I put them on in the changing room , luckily it had a mirror so I saved the rest of the shop the hilarious sight of a slightly chubby bloke with long straight hair looking like a reluctant  member of spandau ballet

Looked like the right place to leave this.
