When I was in college I had a Playlist that Pavloved me into a state of calm, focus and short term memory retention. I played it before every exam and it helped a lot. I would play that Playlist.
Wait, is this too "boomer humor" in the line of "wife bad, hurr hurrr"? I need better material.
In reality, no, I wouldn't be listening to music. I'd be on the phone with every person I know who hunts, asking if I can borrow a rifle for a late night hunting trip, right the fuck now. Bonus points if they're a good enough friend that you can ask them to help you bury the bodies, then just invite him along for fun and entertainment.
Nope. But I never have the radio on anyway because I can't stand the noise. Instead, I would be planning on just how I was going to kill each bad guy in the most torturous ways.
Out of all the great suggestions ITT, I think I like this one the best. But I would be the kidnapped wife in this situation, so I don't get to pick the music.
That’s for getting you pumped up to fight when you don’t want to and would rather just kind of wander off. The situation described, you’re fully engaged without hesitation or choice.
I just visualized myself driving mad focused, mentalizing myself for the encounter, in silence with “In The Air Tonight” sounding in my head building up tension, ala Miami Vice scene…
Nope I'd be too busy getting into The Transporter mindset to fiddle with the radio. I may be an audiophile, but I'm a driver first and foremost and I have my priorities. Seconds count in a scenario such as this one.
