What music should my car play while driving through your neighbourhood?

[purplepoppy]

It's a well-known fact that fast food restaurants play uptempo music during busy times to encourage you to eat faster and leave, bit slow music in quiet periods to keep people inside and make the place look busy. Simarly, shops often play classical music to discourage the wrong sort of people.

In movies, music is often played to build suspense and suggest something bad is about to happen.

So I reckon car radios should automatically play music that tells us what kind of neighbourhoods we're driving through.

So what would I hear driving down your street?

Very nice... Lemmee see... For a very multicultural established neighborhood you could go lots of directions, latin, classic rock/R&B, funk. Let's do Smooth with Rob Thomas of Matchbox 20 on vocals while Carlos Santana and the folks put down that Spanish groove in the heat... that'll do

King Crimson, XTC, Pink Floyd (anything but The Wall!), Yes, The Fixx, Rupert Hine, The White Noise, Art Of Noise, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Captain Beefheart, Artie Shaw, Glenn Miller, The Beatles, Spike Jones, Big Country, Fats Domino, Jimmy Liggins, Fishbone, Primus, Spacehog, and the list goes on and on.

Thanks Poppy!

[Nikki1989]

Satanic death metal. That should get some attention.

[Agape93]

1970s porn music. Confuse tf out of the wildlife

My street totally sounds like an indie coming‑of‑age movie soundtrack 🎧

You’d hear mellow indie pop, lo‑fi beats, and a bit of old-school rock. Think Cigarettes After Sex at night, Mac DeMarco on lazy afternoons, and maybe some Studio Ghibli piano tracks drifting from open windows. Nothing too aggressive, just cozy, artsy, slightly nostalgic vibes that make you want to drive slowly and look around 🌆✨

Poppy if you’re driving by my neighborhood, I want you to play this song as loud as you can in your vehicle with your boombox speakers. 👍 I do like going to classy restaurants listening to piano music or soft music, or slow music and I like my fast pace, music and rap music too. I like it all

Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries.

Great scene. I used to double tap my 30 round banana magazine on my helmet as well. It just aligned the rounds flat to the back of the magazine to lessen any prospects of jams. Jams didn’t really happen though but I did it out of habit.

Those guys were Air Cav. Air Calvary. They literally descend from horse calvary units of old which is why their patch emblem has a horse head. I almost re-upped (re-enlisted) to such a unit as a door gunner. Wifey didn’t want it.

In the era of MANPADS and drones, the wife probably made the right call.

Perhaps the US has some new technology as they flew choppers right into Venezuela and snatched their President.

... while everybody there was asleep. How it's often ending when the military is not asleep, you can currently observe in Ukraine, Mali and Iran.

@purplepoppy Definitely something in Welsh language, like this song ;)

https://audiomack.com/xawyx/song/6a4bc8701032d

I don't speak Welsh, but it's a really cool song, can you translate?

[Xawyx-2]

@purplepoppy By the way, the song was generated by AI (Deep Dream Generator), so I'd like to hear an opinion from a Welsh GaG-er like you.

[purplepoppy]

How does it work? Do you type in English then it translates? The welsh is OK but music sounds a bit red Indian

[Xawyx-2]

I type language, genre of music, and prompt (verbal theme or visual prompt). I actually used a visual prompt - an image of medieval Welsh archer.

I prefer quiet. There are too many cars blasting music as they drive.

If car radios should automatically play music based on the neighborhood, one of the options should be MNONE, JUStTQUIET.

[Still-alive]

The British of British themes of course
