It's that simple... I know there are some (ahem..OK, a lot) of strolling bones among us. OK, coffin dodgers to put it a bit more bluntly and there will be a lot of Jim Reeves, Perry Como and the likes appear but patience for the rest of us. What are you listening too ?
Here's some for a starter: Rodrigo y Gabriela - she's a handy percussionist and rhythm guitarist while he has some Metallica tendencies (not shown in these vids)... Diablog Rojo: Hanuman: Tamacun:

Whilst she is very good, and its an excellent "experience" musical clip (ie audio and visual) having her solo drumming on her guitar body is not the kind of thing you have on your track list for the car. Plus I feel slightly miffed she needs a partner, I am drawn to this by way of explanation. .
I could waffle on all day about "Flamenco" (by way of a better term) all the way from its raw gypsy roots to poppy "Gypsy King" music so I wont.
I'll climb aboard my favourite musical soap box, however and heap scorn upon the Beatles.
In 1969 while they were applauded for producing this purile rubbish
The same year the stones produced this
Ok the clip is a later version, but could you ever conceive of the beatles being able to produce stuff like this live? Nah way (hells bells that opening sequence wailing always stirs the devil in your soul)
What was the last thing played in my car, yesterday? This
Jezuz, the way that out of breath sax kicks in gets me every time.

'Windmills' still blows my socks off.

Ok here is a musical conundrum, now we have expertly steered this towards great female singers.
Three versions of "Cry me a river"
A Jazz fill "ella" version, a Lounge music Julie London Version, and I'm not sure what genre the Alison Moyet version fits into, but you have to say she puts some pain and emotion into it.
Which one wins it?

Had an 8-track once which came with the car (many years ago). Had two tapes; one was Sibelius 2nd Symphony and the other was the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange. Why those I have no idea.

This morning it was Barenboim, du Pré and Zuckermann playing Beethoven trios. Yesterday I treated myself (at home) to full-volume Bruckner 9, one of Abbado's last recordings and up there with his extraordinary Lucerne Festival recording of the Fifth.
Before that it was Leonard Cohen live in Dublin, another beautifully engineered recording.
Came home to Bmin playing Muse very loud on the kitchen Sonos. No problem with that, especially as he was most of the way through making my dinner. [Sonos prices are going up by more than 15%.Thanks to the bungalow brigade for that as well.]
Will try out a bit of BPG's featured artist, just for fun. Deezer recommended Tamacun so let's try that.

Enjoying some of the contributions on this page. Hanuman over Tamacun for me - good tip, thanks. Rivers - wanted it to be the delectable Julie, but it had to be Alison, more because I was slightly disappointed in the other two for some reason. Brahms 1st, can't go wrong. Not got to WDB's choices yet, will do later.
Last thing I played in the car was Perfume's Edge - Triangle (video below). Everyone I know and all of you will hate it, thinking it unmusical, unsophisticated and simplistic, and I almost guarantee nobody here will get more than twenty seconds in, but hey, I like it a lot. Love the choreography and I find it fun to deconstruct.
Also been listening this week to Blackpink's "Boombayah", because when you've had enough jpop then kpop is definitely the thing, Sibelius' "Swan of Tuonela" (a lot), DJ Cheasy's "Cinderella Baby" because it's so ridiculous it makes me laugh, Ravel's "Pavane pour une infante defunte" and a lot of French stuff like Marc Lavoine's "Faut-il Parler" and the inevitable Francoise Hardy "Comment te dire adieu". All in the car.

A few years back I read an article about a chap who bought old radio/8-track and cassette car systems, ripped the guts out of them, and installed new electronics. The fascia was restored original, but he jiggered the internals and the 8-track or cassette so it contained a USB stick with . So you'd have a authentic-looking Becker or Blaupunkt, but with mp3/bluetooth compatibility. Ideal for your classic car!

Well that was great fun, Ted, Thanks. I am SO getting some of those there boots.
Also reminded me of the Student Prince, so now I'm going have to play Mario Lanza singing "Walk with God". Even if it does sound like something from Britain's Got Talent.

Wish I could remember how to post pictures here - and I know I've done it before. I stole a photo at the end of an evening of Brahms and Hindemith - all rather heavy going if I'm honest - in Cologne last night. Not during the performance, obviously, but as the audience was leaving. Still got me a telling off from a philharmonic elf but I reckon it was worth it.
