shop music to build cars to

My radio in the shop stays on WGPB in Rome GA, our Georgia Public Broadcasting/NPR station. I'm a big fan of Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion on Saturday nights. Friday nights, it's Piano Jazz with Marian McPartland, Sunday nights it's Big Band Jump with Don Kennedy playing the big band music of the '30s and '40s (Henrietta the '38 Ford pickup likes music of this era a lot). If I pull a late night in the shop, I'll catch some good late night bluegrass on Bluegrass Overnight.

 

Nice choice mate, have been known to grind along to alil
Seasick Steve myself. He`s one cool Hobo.

 

If dad is in the shop with me it goes to the oldies station. Even in my own garage-he's earned that right to have his choice of tunes whenever we work together. Better break out some loud air tools if he starts singing though. When he's gone though, look out.

I could go on and on but I'll stop since my tastes seem to confound those who attempt to put me in a particular listening category.

 

Some Brit Jazz Funk, soul, motown, latin, blues..

 

nice collection, i shoot pool to Stevie. did you ever think of punk bagpipes such as the dropkick murphys?

 

thanks for the rocken playlist ideas. it really helps if you have the right music.

 

yep, i have Dianna Ross in the old 8 track right now.

 

i thank you all. you make me feel a bit more welcome with my music. most of this stuff is stuff that i have in my changer, 8 track deck, or on the turntable. thanks again.

 

Local 91.5 University of New Orleans channel. It's run by kids at our college. Fri and Sat nights are usually filled with alot of really good old punk/horror punk, Sundays are back and forth between reggae, rocksteady, older ska, and alot of surf. Weekdays are mostly ska, jazz and blues. I dig it.

 

Put on Monk, Davis, Byrd,Jimmy Smith,Brubeck,Etc,Etc, a few brews, and I could build all through the night.............

 

Misfits ................

 

ever heard a band called the old 97s? their early stuff is killer! "harolds superservice" springs to mind but they got a ton of rockabilly style shit. how bout the bottlerockets? uncle tupelo, slobberbone, lottsa new shit out there that rocks. you'll just never hear it on corporate radio...

 

Check my signature and stream the best radio show in the country......

 

Lots of classic rock and 70s punk

 

I put my iPod on shuffle. It's got nearly 7000 songs on it that range from bluegrass, blues, soul, R&B, classic rock, country, jazz, jam bands and lots of Blues! It's all good.

 

Angry white guy music. Still stuck in Seattle grunge. My daughter comes out to listen and watches me work. She calls it garage music cause my wife won't let me play it in the house...

 

So for all of the reverand fans, I'm sure you've heard of split lip rayfield? Holy crap what a great band. Gas tank for an upright bass? Fahgettaboutit. Pretty damn good band. Was invited to see them at Grinders, wasn't really thinking I'd be into it, but MAN those dudes can play. Fan for life now.

 

So today was The Cramps - Bad music for Bad people, A date with Elvis, Look ma no head, and Stay Sick ( best song ever-all women are bad!)...Yesterday was Glen Miller and some other newer big bad stuff. Tomorrow? Throw the I pod on shuffle, play along for a bit, see where the day takes me... Maybe Dick dale?!

 

Social Distortion
Kings of Nuthin
Splatter
Sandy Ford
Tombstone Brawlers

 

no one mentioned Hendrix? I have an old fisher studio standard receiver out there and a couple of giant speakers from the eighties, up in the loft. I just plug my Ipod into it and crank it up. I listen to all kinds of stuff but Hendrix seems to be great for building things. especially Red house. If you've never done it. listen to his greatest hits on a really good pair of full size earphones, those things you stick in your ears don't do music justice. If you've never done it, it will blow you away as to how good he is, regular speakers don't even do him justice.

 

There ya go!!

 

I've got 6 Rev. Horton Heat CD's that I listen to in the shop. If you're into rockabilly, you'll love 'em.

 

henri mancini's touch of evil soundtrack.

Uriah Heep, Kansas, Hendrix, Neil Young usually works for me.

 

Surf music with a heavy guitar.... Less words to distract, and plenty of melody and energy to keep moving!
