I don’t have a driver’s license, forget a car.
Eve 6 - “Open Road Song”
Must have been Lee Scratch Perry. Not a song, a handful of tapes played over and over and.
Probably something by the RHCP, but I cannot remember properly
I played “Like a River” to try out the sound system in a car I got recently. Does that count?
Is that from Ocie Elliott?
Bishop Briggs
Absolutely.
Dire Straits - Money for Nothing. It was on a cassette in my parents car. Not what I normally listen to, but it’s an alright song, and after having had to endure whatever my parents decided to listen to, that was what I decided to turn up on my first drive alone.
I think the first thing I brought into the car with the intent to listen to it while driving was Dream Theater - Awake, freshly recorded from CD onto tape
Back in the early 2000s I bought my first own car. It had a radio with cassatte. I had a mixtape that I carried around, with a walkman (albeit not the original one from Sony). When I drove the car home - stil with temporary number plates, because I needed to register the car to my name - the song Turn The Page played a few minutes into the drive. I will always associate this song with that particular event.
I haven’t yet gotten a car, nor do I plan to.
Why not?
Because if you can operate without one, life is so much better.
Cars ruin cities.
But if a city is already ruined or you live in a village without a bus station, it makes travel a lot easier.
Yep. Sounds like you can’t really operate without one. :(
That sucks. I’m sorry.
Well, I won’t enjoy loosing ~1060€ for the license, but I feel like I would at least enjoy driving a car.
I have never been happy about driving. I probably to turned the radio on and listen to whatever was playing on the local station. Might have been Champaigne with Chris Rock.
I don’t remember after my first car. But I got a really big raise at work one year and bought the new Malibu the year it was redesigned. Black with leather interior. First song played:
Radar Love by Golden Earring
It’s a great fucking song to drive too fast to.
Not yet there, but it will probably be something on the radio, as I don’t have any tapes (which is the only thing it supports). Could I still buy them anywhere?
No idea.
I see a lot of tapes at thrift stores or even antique stores. You could also get a Bluetooth or AUX tape adapter which are conceptually very cool
Wow, thanks. I’m kind off sceptical of the aliexpress adapters and I don’t even know if the tape player even works. I might test it with some kind of religious tape from my grandma.
I stuck Oracular Spectacular by MGMT into the CD player of my Miata (second car) when I bought it. I bought it in the winter when I couldn’t drive it so the album always brings me back to working on it.

It was probably something by The Used or MCR. What a time to be alive in 2008.
I don’t remember the first song I played, but I remember blasting Eminem’s “Without Me” at full volume with my new 12-inch subwoofer from Walmart. An officer pulled up next to me and my teenage self just about shit a brick. He just started nodding to the beat and drove off.
