I can only imagine!

Is there any way to connect your phone to the vehicle, whether it's USB or through an adapter?

For sure!

I have a 64 gig thumb in mine and I've had some sort of drive since at least 2011 but these days, connecting via Bluetooth is just as easy.

There's Bluetooth transmitters, I have one for my Camaro but I rarely use it, it's easier to just burn CDs.

That's cool but with a Bluetooth adapter, you'd have access to everything on your phone, Amazon Music, Spotify, et al.

I have bought portable satellite radios also I used to have a device you plugged into the ac cig lighter you plugged a smartphone into then tune the radio to an unused radio station. Sound is horrible and you would be surprised how often you drive into an area where that blank station becomes active.

It is getting better some of the fleet has been recently been getting new trucks with android radio. It is costing more to lease a bare-bones truck than to lease with bells and whistles because when the lease ends they want to resale it. People want options on their used trucks. When they used to buy the trucks instead of the lease they ordered without AC that was murder rolling down the highway for hours windows down. Then get out work all day in heat roll back to hotel tired sweaty hungry not dareing to stop to eat till showering only to find everything is closed but the filling station lol.

The early to mid-90's were absolutely incredible for music. WTF is wrong with you?

How do you even live? Omg. God have mercy on your souls........

love the radio, where else can I hear "Carry On Wayward Son" and "I Love Rock n Roll" 2-3 times a day, every day?

Haha that’s no lie. Classic rock radio plays about the same 30 songs over and over. No deep tracks.

I stopped listening years ago. Amazon Prime Music for me. Quite a bit of selection on there.

Saved on your phone?

I've got 150GB of music on my phone. Made lists of songs for specific times, working out etc. Sometimes Bluetooth to the earbuds, sometimes Bluetooth to the car.

I'm confused, where does Janie Lane fit into the picture? Was he producing the video or something?

You forgot bullet Bob's Turn the Page.

For such a busy fellow you seem to have a lot of time for bullshit. :rolleyes:

that's a good song though, I don't really tire of it

If I'm in my car after 11pm, I'm tuned into KSLX-FM for Nights With Alice Cooper.

:eek:

going to listen to it right now

Dont forget Against the Wind, Old Time Rock n Roll, Travellin Man.

Finish it up with Beautiful Loser.

The fire inside

I haven't listened to the radio for years. Between streaming 30+ gigs of music on my phone and Sirius, I just never had the need to. I recently started listening to KY-102 out of St. Joe through Alexa here at work and I feel like I'm a teenager again. That station brings back so many good memories. Not too many commercials to ruin it yet.

:banghead:

That was fascinating. I enjoyed that. Science is so cool sometimes.

But that didn't show anything about using a mask so I'm not sure how you can come to the conclusion you did.

I remember them in 90s. All Star I guess was their big hit. My wife bought one of their cds but I never listened to it. I thought they were ok but not my bag, I guess.

Whatever happened to Limp Bizkit?

Live, Bush, Rage Against The Machine, Alice In Chains

Oh rly? :spock:

:clap:

Candlebox, Foo Fighters.


I could go all day.

Bug, WTF is wrong with you?

I'm old. And cranky. And why are you on my goddamn lawn?

Heh, I was about to respond, "he's old"... I mean, if I grew up with any decade's music prior to the 90s, I may very well not have appreciated the likes of Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.

Yeah? :shrug:

I used an aux jack and iPod for years because I had a car that was just a bit too old for all of the fancy things and never bothered to upgrade my options from aux and CDs.... it did at least play mp3 CDs, too, which hold a couple hundred songs IIRC.

A built in HD for all of my music is perfect though.

I dont even know what this is in reference to but those bands are awesome.

Common sense? You can see what happens with no mask. You know small breath droplets are too big to just pass through a mass unimpeded. They still sneak out the top and bottom, but they don't have the same trajectory or velocity.

Here's this.

I moved away from KC in 1996. I love coming back and on the drive from the airport hearing the same DJs spinning the same songs on the same station - 101 The Fox. It feels like I never left. I wonder how many times Skid Roadie has intro-ed Come Sail Away. 10,000?

They got knocked the f**k out.

They merged with Beastie Boys to make the worst music in the history of the world.... Limp Boys.

They should play ‘Tom Sawyer’ more often.

They did it all for the nookie. When the nookie went away, so did they.

I wonder what the most all time played song on 101 The Fox is? Night Moves? Comfortably Numb? You Shook Me All Night Long?

You shut your whore mouth and keep the Beastie Boys name out of it!!

Agreed. BTW, did you see the doc on Apple +? It was fantastic. It was weird watching two old jewish guys talk about the beastie boys, though. ;)

Mental image of that interview

Sometimes it seems like the same 10 songs over and over. I've heard Bohemian Rhapsody so many times on the radio that I don't even have it on any of my playlists anymore.

If I'm driving anywhere that requires me to be in the car more than a few minutes, I almost always just listen to one of the playlists on my phone. There are only three stations left in the Chicago area I can stand at this point.

Oh, and **** music in the 90s. I'll never forget how awful it was when, little by little, my favorite stations either died or started playing nothing but that odious grunge shit. 4321

honestly the classic rock stations(we have 2) here aren't too bad, though yes they both are repetitive. They both have a playlist of probably about 200 songs that are regularly played, but they also sneak in seldom heard songs that the DJs want to play from time to time(heard Zeppelin's "Gallows Pole" the other day, pretty refreshing choice), so it's not completely ruled by a computer.

Also have 2 modern rock stations, a more alternative station(though it borders on pop), and a 60s/70s hits "oldies" station. And of course country, no shortage of country. I can find enough variety on our local radio to not be completely annoyed by it.

Radio was so much better before 1997 or so when it started to get super corporate and, as a result, cookie cutter. It lost it's spirit when companies like Clear Channel decided to make it all streamlined and syndicated.

Heh... isn't their entire existence centered around making shitty music?

Not trying to be funny, but thought I had read something along those lines.

As much as I don't care for the song though, I did appreciate the whole Kelce thing, as it's like the most Midwest thing possible, especially given how long Arrowhead stuck with 80s/90s rock (and still play plenty of it, of course). It was very fitting, even if the song sucks balls. :p

Yes, I did watch it. I think it was nominated for several awards. Its very cool.

Too many people associate Beastie Boys with their first album only which isn't that uncommon. The first album is mainly just silly kind of jock rap.

They made a lot of really cool creative funky music later. There is wee bit of junk mixed in but they put out a lot of different stuff.

Interesting, and that's probably true about me.

What are a few examples of their later/better stuff that I can check out?

Bug being an old grump. Here's the string.

And I don't think Bug is much older than me so I don't get it. Same with frazod. Not picking on those guys but I just don't agree.

I grew up in the 70s but really, I became a big music fan in the 80s. Sure, I got into a lot of metal and even several hair bands (what can I say, I was an easily influenced teen when Poison broke).

When grunge came on the scene, I resisted the change....for awhile. Yes, there was good music from some of my favorite 80s bands (Queensryche, Savatage, Megadeth) still being produced at the time. And I already had gotten into some of the grunge era bands (never cared that much for Nirvana - though a few of their songs have grown on me over the years - but I loved Alice In Chains from the start). At some point I started listening to modern rock/alternative stations and really got into a lot of that music.

To this day, I still feel that it was one of the best and most influential eras in modern music.

Paul's Boutique and Check Your Head are two of my favorite all time albums. Paul's is #1.

Yeah this. But it's fine for me as someone who just comes back to KC 1-2 times/year. It is good music, you've just heard it so many times. At least it's not as bad as a reggae station or old 60s/70s soul station. Those literally seem to have a playlist of about 100 songs.

I go through nostalgia phases even on my ipod playlist. I'm really digging Roll with the Changes right now for some reason. It's just a fun song that starts out hot and never slows down.

Also I've found a renewed love for Freebird after seeing this guy "discover" it for the first time:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VGTaA6d3BXQ" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I used to jump all over the furniture in my living room in my underwear air-guitaring Freebird in high school. It's fun to see someone much younger from a completely different background getting into it.

Yeah smoke some weed, put on Paul's Boutique with the lyrics on, listen from beginning to end.

I think it's the best rap album ever made.

It's also always going to be unique. You can't make an album with that much random sampling anymore - as you'd have to pay 100s of other artists a boatload of money.

Do you listen to radio stations in Los Angeles or do you just listen to ipod/internet stuff most of the time? I can't remember the last time I listened to a radio station here in KC.

I have an old school ipod connector to my car stereo that I use most of the time. I used to have sirius. Radio is too annoying because of commercials.

Same here. I just wondered if the variety on Los Angeles radio was enough to attract you away from your own music.

It probably would be if not for the commercials.

don't think they even have any proper rock stations in LA except for KLOS now. KROQ has been garbage for years now.

I'm just not in the car enough to justify the expense of Sirius.

It's great when you're driving all over the West where no other stations come in. Also when I was driving a jr high/high school kid around - she could find stations she liked. But apparently it doesn't work much south of Mexico. So I dropped it before my big trip and haven't bought it back.

I love Sirius/XM. I get to hear new music from whatever genre I choose with no ads.

That was pretty much it, only without the interviewer.

Licensed to Ill was a brilliant album as well. I always loved Paul's, but most of their albums are great. Check and Ill Comm were somewhat similar, with Hello being my least favorite.

It's a masterpiece of sampling and editing for sure. I bought the green/rainbow tape on release day and think I wore it out.

Sirius/XM has much of the same problem with repetitiveness that terrestrial radio has, it's just you don't notice it as much because you can easily jump from the mainstream stuff on Classic Rewind to Deep Cuts or whatever. But spend enough time on Deep Cuts and you'll hear the same songs over and over. Listen to Ozzy's Boneyard for a few days and count how many times you hear Highway to Hell.

Also sound quality wise for some reason is never as good as FM radio, or Bluetooth. I have whatever receiver it is that Ford stuck in this generation of Mustangs from the factory and it doesn't sound as good as FM.

Yeah, you can tell when they rotate the schedules for sure. I enjoy their top 20 countdowns for the week and new music.

most of the content being uncut/uncensored on Sirius is a huge plus though.

Also I like the NASCAR channel.

Also Sirius has (or did have) Madison - who annoys me so much she sends me into a blind rage every time I hear her voice.

I've never cared for XM... I've had issues with getting/keeping a signal, it seems like I have to jump stations a lot, and a lot of their 'live' tracks in particular sound horrible (the Pearl Jam station is largely useless for that reason).

And in general, I'd hate to have to call them periodically to keep the same price, even if it was worth the pocket change per month.

I've had Sirius XM for six months free with each of my last three leases. I've only extended it once (3 months for free) and I receive email and snail mail offers from them almost weekly which are generally $5 dollars per month for a year, which can be cancelled at any time.

The only program that I listen to on Sirius is Howard Stern. They broadcast their music stations in a reduced bit rate MP3 file, which annoys me to no end because to my ears, it sounds absolutely awful.

I haven't taken them up on their $5 dollar a month offer because I just don't drive enough to take advantage of it and I really don't have 3 hours a day in which to listen to the Stern show, whether it's via the car or their Roku App on my TV.

It's not the car stereo, it's that Sirius broadcasts reduced bit rate MP3's, which sound horrible.

I knew I wasn't crazy. They really do sound horrible.

Wow, that's like a blindside hit to realize there is someone unfamiliar with PB or CYH.

I agree Paul's is their best ever, but I put Ill Communication at least neck and neck with CYH.

Beasties had a singular talent for having beats that your could both chill to and get hyped to, depending on which you wanted to do.

It energized you, but didn't set you on edge.

Look... Back in the day, their first album Fush Yu Mang was actually pretty decent. Screw Astro Lounge and everything after.
