So one thing that I find kind-of sort-of maybe not so bad about a car commute? The radio. At home radio listening revolves almost exclusively around NPR, so I only listen to other stations when I’m in the car, which, up until six months ago, was almost never. I lost touch with the latest pop music (maybe not a huge loss?). Biking is plenty of fun without the radio.
I fall into the “channel surfer” category when it comes to the radio. I flip channels during commercials, DJ blathering, songs I dislike, and songs that clash with my mood. That adds up to a lot of channel surfing. Total radio ADD. I imagine being in the car with me would be QUITE annoying. Sometimes I manage to annoy myself, and I just have to pull the plug.
Anyhow, I have a couple of favorites at the moment. While driving home the other night, I heard all three of them back-to-back! Yeah, that was a good drive. Without further ado, my top three, in no particular order:
- All the Right Moves – OneRepublic
- Breakeven – The Script
- Young Forever (i.e., the Forever Young Remix) – Jay-Z and Mr. Hudson
No doubt that I’ll tire of these and move on to other songs of the moment before too long.
OK… I’m feeling old. I’ve never even heard of any of these bands let alone the songs! (Although I’m guessing the last one is some sort of remake of the Dylan classic?)
The only thing I miss about the car commute is Air America… but since it went under a few years back I guess there isn’t much to miss!
Enjoy your tunes!

I’m not even sure that they’re worth hearing 😉 The last one (and my favorite) is a remake of the Dylan classic.
