Music can be good when you ride. Discuss the stuff you like listening to while you ride, give or ask for recommendations, and expose your lovely taste. To start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpDn4-Na5co Someone recommended that as a soundtrack for that cyberpunk short fiction that Reel Big Lizard (?) wrote in AI a couple years ago. I've been really into heavy psych and some fuzzier prog lately. Mondo Drag is kind of like if Rick Wakeman played with Sabbath. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFmzULD12FE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gso6JZu74sA And Temples is fun too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUGEnXz4EG8

Discovered Stone Gods a few months ago. Really like this album. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEEy67VdaQA This is a Bay Area punk band I'm a big fan of. Seeing them in concert in about two weeks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MPFQE5h-lE And a classic Slash track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FddCGr7mD54

I have always been kinda not sure about riding with music. I fear it will take my concentration off the road. In 29 years of riding I have never once ridden with music playing. Do you find it distracts you?

I'm one of those weird people that gets concentrates better with music. ESPECIALLY on the track. I mean, just give it a try on some city streets. Also +1 on lazerhawk, daniel deluxe is good also. e: to clarify, I generally don't listen to music in heavy traffic, but on like backroads and off peak hours, it's tyte bro. Otherwise my mind starts wandering when I'm just listening to the same engine drone all the time. M42 fucked around with this message at 03:09 on Sep 3, 2016 |

I can only listen to music on back roads, and then only when I'm warmed up to the point that I can feel the engine speed without hearing it. Can't do it in town or when I need to navigate. Any time there is traffic, I have to hear stuff.

I listen to it on my way to and from work every day, but it's usually on a really low volume so I just kinda hear it in the background.

I find it much easier to get into a rythmn with music. I've culled pretty much anything fast from my ride playlist though because that throws off my concentration. The fastest I've ridden has probs been to 'Laura' by Bat For Lashes but anything slow and naff is good for fast times as far as I'm concerned.

Since the bulk of my riding is my 1 hr commute (each way), and a lot if it is very early mornings (I used to leave work sometimes at 4am, though my current schedule has me waking up to go into work around that time instead), I have a mix of slower, moderate tempo stuff that's suited to the dead of night, mostly stuff that feels like it should be music in a spy movie, because I like to feel I'm James Bond when I'm riding in the dead of the night. Here's most of the songs from my late-nite list, all songs that have the feel of tension that belongs in a technothriller movie or capture the feeling of being out past midnight for me: Curve - Alligators Getting Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6VrumnCaxI Archive - Nothing Else https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JotndMyINE Puscifer - The Mission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrQOBcFfEj0 Pat Benatar - Invincible https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A4xBp2rizQ Alphastates - Champagne Glass https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXF5-HDXWGg Kavinsky - Pacific Coast Highway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5FKNViujeM Massive Attack - Safe From Harm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDdKb7XnWAw Latimore - Let's Straighten It Out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CKXVOywj7T0 Portishead - Sour Times https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7gutsi1uT4 Allanah Myles - Black Velvet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT4d1LQy4es Fitz and The Tantrums - MoneyGrabber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3WRXYYBwRA Powerglove - Motorcycle Cop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nqe7jPX6DQY Onra - Send Me Your Love https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCbDi5SaLvI Kidneythieves - Arsenal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzjFArjCMj8 Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA The Birthday Massacre - Play With Fire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8GVzyU6fcY Curve - Beyond Reach https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj3C7SkZM44 Stevie Nicks - Stand Back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gSKeCvSCpw Bill Withers - Who Is He And What Is He To You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vlM1ekJ144 Jakalope - Pretty Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t1EglpxYew The Gap Band - Early In The Morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aobIboK_z34 A Split-Second - Mambo Witch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYOS4tWVzxU Chromeo - Needy Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5JoePzqwg4 Massive Attack - Angel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbe3CQamF8k Sarah Fimm - Be Like Water https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQkxfvmR_VM Kavinsky - Testarossa Autodrive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bwC1zJE49U Queensryche - The Thin Line https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nXMHR0UScw Hall and Oates - Maneater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRYFKcMa_Ek T.A.T.U. - Perfect Enemy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovaZ0KfIWiE Shakespeare's Sister - The Trouble With Andre https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uNLQxurOlM Leonard Cohen - By The Rivers Dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcKvJRBUE6o Phil Collins - I Don't Care Anymore https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6PNc9KN50M Karyn White - Secret Rendezvous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVmOMJ_Vcnw Archive - Headspace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FchUNFdDgsU Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_aYibUx1B8 A Split-Second - The Heat (Legs Akimbo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyMHNEI7dNY Quarterflash - Harden My Heart https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OqeKV2UYq1Q Ray Parker Jr. - Until The Morning Comes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdkoRaTaV4s Bat For Lashes - All Your Gold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXK0Ejzin4c (didn't do embedded videos because this many may choke someone's browser if they have embeds on) I tend to organize playlists not by musician or genre, but by songs with similar themes and feelings (or that evoke certain feelings for me). I also have other playlists made for sunny days out on the open road, playlists of songs I love to sing along to, etc. prukinski posted:Bat For Lashes

100% my jam also I used to be wary of music while riding, but my riding music is pretty chill and it actually helps me ride more responsibly. Melodic Progressive House or Deep House are my usuals.

Milwaukee was a cool place to be in the 90's if you were into EDM of any sort. A ton of clubs popped up who's main goal was showcasing DJ's and music (RIP Club Metropolis), and Milwaukee's close proximity meant we got a ton of spillover from both the Chicago House scene and the Detroit techno scene. My only regret is not knowing about a lot of it at the time, since the internet wasn't as all-encompassing as it is now, a bunch of stuff went unnoticed and was spread by word of mouth. i.e. things like this, that happened and then later would become huge cultural phenomenas: http://www.spin.com/2013/05/daft-punk-oral-history-first-american-show-even-furthur-1996/ e: and video proof https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87NzeuM6GT8 Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Sep 7, 2016 |

OK I'll admit to queueing up some Monster Magnet for those I-90 blitzes. Dave Wyndorf and the drum roll of intake noise make a nice background to the mountains of Montana. Or classical music. I don't like more rhythm-oriented music when I'm on the bike because I tend to sync my inputs with the music and I'd rather not fall into that trap. Generally though, bikes + guitar solos = good.

Music helps me concentrate, and music/earplugs/anything that muffles the bike's exhaust make me ride better. I've got all kinds of anxiety about all kinds of things and I always get really self-conscious about the revs. I generally listen to poo poo like this though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgAMSMNJ5W8

It's really not as jarring as you would think- as long as the tempos aren't too far off, and there's no large stylistic changes (going from heavily distorted crunchy guitars to a soft piano ballad, for example) you can make most anything gel well. I spent a couple years as a DJ doing an industrial music night at a club back in the 90's, and if there's one thing I became an expert on during that time, it was how to get wildly different songs to fit into the same set without having abrupt transitions that would drive everyone off the floor, as there was far more variation in sound in that one genre than any other; for example, the following would all be songs I may have played on any given night at the club: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsEPpW2XdLA (My Life With the Thril Kill Kult) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zS8mX9J03Y (KMFDM) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsoDcyBab_s (Skinny Puppy) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF1M8u9okm0 (Pigface) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJZnNq-RXX4 (Leaether Strip) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDwxhkOaZjQ (Ministry) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuhoNvqC1sM Murder He Wrote) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=545i3kMnxCI Nitzer Ebb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Zq9oqI26vE (Gracious Shades) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j7zDFU9Reg (Hate Dept.) Not one after the other, of course, but I would pick and songs in between those that would gradually get me to the right tone and tempo after 2-3 songs to get the next one on that list going smoothly. Compared to something like that, the playlist I posted earlier in the thread is downright harmonious.
