When I ride by myself, I usually listen to some tunes on a el cheap-o walmart mp3 player. Just wondering who else enjoys this and what tunes you listen too when riding?
I listen to wide variety of tunes depending on the ride. For long climbs, I like some more chill pace music like Theivery Corporation, Beck's sea change and mutations albums, My Morning Jacket, a good 70's dead show, radiohead's OK computer, flaming lip's yoshimi, Beta Band, Ryan Adams (NOT bryan adams damnit!), Kruder & Dorfmeister, and Super Furry Animals to name a few.
On fast descents or agressive sections of trails, definitely like something to really get the blood flowing. Some of my favorites would be Yonder Mtn. String Band, a good upbeat mid-90's phish show, Medeski Martin & Wood, Danger Doom, The Shins, Dinosaur JR., The Posies, Railroad Earth, Leftover Salmon, Del McCoury, Lake Trout, Mark Farina, Pearl Jam, Ween, Widespread Panic and a ton of other crap.
If you don't ever listen while riding, what do you listen to pre or post ride?
*Note: Please have your mp3 players turned down to a low enough volume that you can hear people coming up to pass you etc. There is nothing more annoying then coming up behind someone and trying to yell at them that you are passing but their music player is SO loud they cannot hear you. Besides, excessive volumes on headphones is the number one cause of hearing loss. As a musician with some hearing damage, I can tell you how much that sucks. :wonky2:
