This one was playing Its Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

I'm sorry, but I'm laughing at this.




Bella and I used to go around playing Christmas music.










In August.

[otakuneko]

plenty of jpop and anime music,

Hmm...


* Pictures pulling up behind/next to a booming, rattling, terrible-sounding, bass-overdriven car when all of a sudden...

Ai-mai san SENCHI Sorya puni tte koto kai! (cho!)

Cue major WTF looks in 3, 2, 1.....

Bring it!

Apparently my speakers are alot better then this kid's. Cause he was looking ticked when he couldn't hear his tunes anymore.

Hehe reminds me of one time at the oil-change place. I'm sitting in my slightly beat-up Mazda waiting to leave, when this guy in a red Viper pulls in. He's revving his engine before shutting it off. Not as loud as I'd thought. Anyway, as I'm preparing to leave, I fired up the car, and the look on his face was great. Apparently, my 120,000 mile completely stock, four-cylinder was somehow louder than his V10, yet I wasn't even trying to rev it--just sitting there waiting for the mechanic to finish opening the door. (How the hell is that possible when I don't have a fart can, and my exhaust was actually solid?)

Getting back on topic, why is it that some people just *have* to blast the (c)rap? I like tunes as much as the next guy, but when a song consists of two words, the N-word and Fuck, what's the point? Is it really necessary to act like a tool at 2am?

*hangs head in semi shame*....I used to have a boom boom system in my old truck. But I didn't role thru residential area's with it bumping either. I tended to have the windows up if I was gonna have the volume up. But there were a few times when I would come up against some punk trying to bump some straight bass or house. I would then have to toss in a rock cd and lay it down. And yeah, I usually won. I had a compition amp (120 watt, cross over to run at about 480 watt) powering a 1000 watt sub.....yup I could hang....But I always tried to respect other people, sure I would bump it with the windows down on the freeway, but then I wasn't bothering other folks either.

Depends. Which version of One Winged Angel? You have the orchestral, the original, the beat heavy techno, and (my favorite) the Advent Children version.

Personally I also love playing Dancing Mad when going this. Particularly because I can time my face insane face to Kefka's laughing. I have freaked out so many people doing that.

Twas the Advent Children one. Probably one of the better ones.

Still managed to freak ut a couple people with it, just hearing this loud "SEPHIROTH!" from a rather girly-colored car.

[cawaker]

This is why alot of the songs on my "Kid Friendly" play list are orchestrals. No singing means no lyrics to insult or play backwards for demonic messages.

haha I dunno the WoW soundtracks can get pretty demonic. I love em though.

When my car had a cd player (back in the day when it was my mom's car. Her no ex husband stole it to pay a debt with some drug dealers), I would turn up my Disturbed or Metallica whenever someone was driving with some type of rap music.

And winner gets Down With the Sickness

That's by far my favorite rendition of One-Winged Angel. I'm not one for most heavy metal and hard rock-type music, but just about anything the Black Mages play and the music from Advent Children get to slide.

I did that the other day.

As you guys know (or should know), I'm a proud owner of a Lunch Box/Toaster (Scion XB circa 2006). I got the car NOT because of its boxy design or its almost blac color but because I'm an audiophile and the scion xb was built with the young crowd in mind. I.e. awesome stock stereo system.

Anyway, my stereo system has the option for three different sound qualities. "talk, hear and feel." Since hubs and I were having a discussion, we had it on 'talk' which means the sound is rather muted. Really awesome and sharp, but muted.

So we're listening to some Linkin' Park and its at the standard setting (i.e. we hadn't fiddled with the bass or treble yet), although we'd forgotten and had it a bit loud. This stupid idget pulls up to us at the red and has his 'woman' roll down her window and like, wave at us.

I glance over just as he leans over her lap, offers us a cheesy grin and blares his sound system. It was SO out of balance that the sound was distorted and the windows were shaking.

I give my hubs a look, lean over, shift the audio to 'Feel' (FYI, when we play GnR's "Get in the Ring" at half-blast with the bass and treble adjusted properly it makes my lungs tremble while on this setting.) and fiddle with the bass and treble. Jouji then pulls up the ipod and starts playing his King Gidora (Otakus in the board should know the J Rap band but for you guys who don't know, they're like Snoop Dog meets Run DMC ).

At first he looked confused as this particular song starts with an instrumental piece. Then the first eight bars of rap hit and my teeth were chattering. Sound was crystal clear and crisp. His chic starts cackling. Dude's jaw just drops and I can see the look on his face scream "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! CHINES? KOREAN? TONGUES?"

And then we kindly left him in the dust.

It's at times like these that I like to bust out a copy of Naked Lunch and my Radio Shack bullhorn.. set to 10

It's amusing how quickly "Did I ever tell you about the man who taught his ass to talk?" can end a bass battle.. lol!

Seriously, to the guy who was sitting across the street from my house, bumping his bass (with all 4 doors AND the hatch of his suburban open), if you have to make the "I can't hear you" motion when I'm shouting at you through a bullhorn, your music is TOO FREAKING LOUD.

I love you, bullhorn.

This one was playing Its Peanut Butter Jelly Time.

That and Nashida's avatar just below your post really summed up my thoughts on that topic.

I've recently started looking far afield for new and interesting music to listen to while in the car. Personally, I think Chumbawamba was robbed of any possible chance in gaining megastar status because some recording exec decided Tubthumping was the best single on their CD. Er, no. Hell, just about every other song on the CD is tons better. 'Do you suffer from Long Term Memory Loss?' is probably my favorite, followed by 'Creepy Crawlin' and then 'Drip, Drip, Drip'. I'd blast them if I weren't extremely sensitive about my hearing. I've had 'Do you Suffer...?' up really high during the chorus, so I can attempt to match the pitch while singing (It stretches my vocal muscles...) and the next song comes on, and I wince.

I had to borrow my cousin's car a while back for a few days. This car was lowered with thinted windows, a full bodykit, huge freaking wheels, decals of every kind down the sides, lights underneath and the most incredible and beautifuly tuned music system. More space was used for speakers in that damn car than it was for people.

You have not seen confusion until you have seen people look at a car like that driven by a 20-something year old woman with purple hair, piercings, tatoos etc and it's playing Queen as played by the royal philarmonic orchestra or a classical piano cd that i borrowed from my dad. (I now have my own copy)

I had several people acome up and actually thank me for playing something decent It was hilarious.

Lately, I've been taking the MG out on nice days. Let me tell you, it draws quite a bit of attention. Not so much because it's lacking a radio...but because it's bright orange, and loud! In fact, when I leave a stop light, the engine tends to drown out most stereos...and I'm not even going that fast!

[Gawdzillers]

This asshole I know always blasts something horrible like The Red Chord or Winds Of Plague in the school parking lot at the end of the day.

Christ, just let me listen to my Wynton Marsalis in peace.

[Evil Queen]

Jimmy Buffett and Richard Cheese are fun to blast too.

Since we're on the subject of [c]rap, I thought I would share this little gem:

<Batty> Euch, rap is just missing one letter. c.
<zeep> rapc?
<Batty> ...
<Batty> Crap you idiot. you put the c on the other end
<zeep> oic
<Batty> Though you could also say it's missing an e
<zeep> wtf is erap?
