TRAFFIC...

Sure, it's great listening to scores while you're MOVING, but try sitting down for 30 minutes, brake and and off... Is John Williams still enjoyable? Simply put, no. In fact, I get harsh images of what I want to do to that composer (and family, usually) when listening to their work in traffic; is this normal?

Anyway, it's late (3:20 A.M.) and I can't get to sleep and have class in three hours... Thought I'd throw out this pointless thought and see what you guys thought... Whoa... Do you actually enjoy music when you're in traffic, or would you, like me, rather turn on Tom Leykis and here people talk about how their girlfriend has three boobs?

Think about it for a second, it's mind boggling (somebody shoot me now).

I actually like it when the traffic lights go red...coz I enjoy lsitening to movie scores in the car.

"talk about how their girlfriend has three boobs? "

Last week we drove about 300 miles up north in a severe snow blizzard, and had wonderful time listening to many soundtracks and also some pop music. But suddenly there was a big traffic jam because of an accident - and in just about ten minutes my sister lost her temper, although I tried to calm her down that we have a warm car, food, and lots & lots of good music...

I myself just love long distance drives in car while listening all the magical favorites. Often, when film music gets very energetic, I realize that I'm driving faster than the speed limit permits... so, in a way I understand you, Hasta. Just remember, that you should regard it as a privilege to be able listening to atmospheric film music in a car and enjoy yourself, and not minding the traffic jams.

Break on and off? Pfff... you haven't suffered yet. Try traffic with a 5-speed manual shifting thingy.

Here here. 5spd on I-5 is always a pain in the buttocks. But film music is good anytime, anywhere.

Some of my fave in-transit cues are:
Injection (from M:I-2)
The Egg Travels (Dinosaur)
Everywhere Freesia (Meet Joe Black)
The Monastery (Red Violin)
Here to there (The Piano from Nyman Live)
All Imperfect Things (as above)
The Beginning of the Partnership(Sh/in love)
Orchard House (Little Women)
Fashion Show (Rouge)
Coronation (Elizabeth)
End Titles (Waterworld)
Leaving Ingrid (Seven years in Tibet)
The Might of Rome (Gladiator)
Main Theme (Dr Jekyll and Ms Hide)
Main Theme (Dragonheart)
Overture (Vatel)
In Bicicletta (Canone Inverso)

Regards,
Rochelle

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Well, they can´t cure ED either(I think). Hehehe. :O

I almost always listen to action scores in the car.

stick shifts help too, because I can at least slam the stick into a lower gear when I get pissed at the 97 year old driving 45 in the fast lane.

besides, 5-speed manual transmission is the ONLY way to drive.
No wussy automatic for me!
