Sometimes, when I’m deep in thought I forget to turn on music in the car. My partner is convinced that i do it on purpose to piss them off. Really, my brain just sucks at multitasking.

So, I’d probably ride there in silence, but only because I forgot to turn on the music.

Sometimes I can't be bothered.

Pedal to the metal and no distractions. Only the silent rage.

I think it would depend on how confident I am that I'd be able to beat the kidnappers.

If it's like inept comedy movie kidnappers and I feel like I'm on my way to deliver an ass kicking, then yes I'd play pump-up music.

If it's scary KGB/ISIS kidnappers and I'm probably on my way to perform a well-intentioned yet ultimately futile gesture where I'll likely get killed before I even get through the door, then probably no tunes for that one.

Who is your wife that she got kidnapped by comedy movie kidnappers?

Edit: sorry for the roast

Channing Tatum in a really nice wig. Op is played by Jonah Hill.

Obviously I listen to music. Without listening to the DOOMSLAYER track, how do i do what I am about to do?

What? I don't do good under pressure. Oh, maybe Under Pressure... hmm... nah... I mean it's good, but thematically isn't matching 100%.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

No. My single minded attention would only register it as noise

Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins would be my vibe I guess

Night Call - Kavinsky

Ohhh… The Girl From Ipanema, Nat King Cole version.
Perfect for a warm summer night’s drive. Not sure about the other 27 minutes though.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

That's a long drive. I'll have to put on an audiobook.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

yes and I'd probably still sit in the driveway for a few min figuring out what I want to put on

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

scrolling idly on the phone

"What are you doing? We have your wife motherfucker!"

"Oh, just trying to figure out what music to kill you to"

For sure turning it off so I can give all my attention to driving and getting there fast plus not having an accident and never getting there.

I would just get NPR on, at the risk of hearing a really interesting segment of Radio Lab and having a driveway moment and sitting through the conclusion right as I get to the location.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'd call the police first.

Why? Does your local PD have really good music taste or something?

They'll probably kill her because I can't decide on a song for that situation
