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.
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.
If my phone's in Bluetooth range, music is going to automatically start playing at high volume in about 10s anyway, because that's always how I last existed the car.
Coincidentally my wife hates it because when she gets in the car to leave, it still gets connection to my phone in the house and starts blaring hard rock, psychedelic rock, journey trance, or syntheave.
There's a lot and all over the place. Hard, simple, cosmic, journey...
I love our Australian stuff. There's early Tame Impala (first two albums), lots of the King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is psych rock (soooo many albums), and probably my fave is High Visceral Pt. 1 by the Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. The song Denmark / Van Gogh & Gone is a great headphones track.
Mosolov's The Iron Foundry at top volume. But only if you want to piss off some asshole sitting in their own car listening to shitty corporate hiphop at top volume and you have louder speakers than they do.
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.
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.
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.
