Do You Listen to the Radio

When you drive or do you like the peace and quiet?
Magenta · F
If alone, it's usually loud and a little hardcore.
SW-User
@Magenta Mostly ambient sounds, down tempo melodies and instrumentals
Magenta · F
@SW-User Mm nice. I do so enjoy some ambient.
SW-User
@Magenta Me too especially when I am meditating 😁
Kstrong · 56-60, F
Depending on mood... at times, when driving distance, watching the road, the scences pass by, prompting memories or directing your thoughts...
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Lilred2289 LOL. i am going too!
Kstrong · 56-60, F
@akindheart any time you wanna join me, feel free
Lilred2289 · 31-35, F
@akindheart yes!!
WillaKissing · 56-60
Both honestly, I love the music and get tired of the commercials and crap. So, I listen sometimes and other times it is off, or a CD is playing. Got to thinking about my reply! I meant CD as in Compact Disc not Cross dresser! LOL
akindheart · 61-69, F
@WillaKissing i got you!
Heartlander · 80-89, M
Both . XM but haven’t tuned into FM in years, AM 10 years. I bought a bedside radio about 7 years ago and was stunned at the lack of stations. I can only imagine how little is still there.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Heartlander i only renewed SXM because i got a deal but i won;t be renewing after it expires
Lately I prefer the quiet.
I find myself wondering how healthy constant music is for my own mental health.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@nonsensiclesnail me too. i turn it off and just think. once in awhile, i listen to the Beatles Sirius XM
LilPrincess · 46-50, F
I listen to my music loud when alone in the car

akindheart · 61-69, F
@Lilnonames you crack me up. never a dull moment with you.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
I have a long commute. I generally pass the time with Boston sports radio.

If that gets boring, I’ll just play my Spotify “On Repeat” playlist. It’s the playlist I workout to if I’m playing music.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Adogslife there are some songs that are great to drive to...i play Nickleback.
Adogslife · 61-69, M
@akindheart Mine is much more random 😂
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
Yes. It so depends on if there is something I really want to listen to or not. Most often I drive in quiet but every now and then I turn it on and am reminded of why I usually leave it off.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@hippyjoe1955 i got Sirius with my new car so i listen to the Beatles but i have to be honest, i have to be in the mood for that too
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@akindheart I know what you mean when the new car subscription to Sirius ran out I never bothered to renew it. Not that much on that I want to listen to anyways. I heard it all once and am not really interested in hearing it again.
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Actually both
Plasticbag · 100+, M
Yes I love it
Both. Depends on the day and the reason for driving. Work, searching for stations I can enjoy the quiet. Regular drive that I don't need to change the channel I'll listen usually
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Justafantasy i think that is what i do too!
SeaGlass · F
Playlists on my phone, because radio has too many commercials. It's almost 50/50, airtime-wise

@SW-User I've considered it. Just might do it, eventually
SW-User
@SeaGlass You will be glad you did. ☺️
SW-User
I've been sad for a long time, so I like the quiet. Some days I will try music but it just doesn't feel good. I haven't played my drums lately either.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@SW-User i hope you can be happy again.
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
Either channel 25 Classic Rewind or channel 26 Classic Vinyl on SXM. Volume depends on mood and sing along too!
akindheart · 61-69, F
@SageWanderer i will have to check those out. i have been listening to the Beatles but they blast at all the wrong time.
Ferric67 · M
Typically talk radio

Makes me feel as if I have company in the car with me during traffic jams
Heartlander · 80-89, M
@Ferric67 I well remember what I think of as the golden years of talk radio. It made night driving an enjoyable experience.
Lostpoet · M
Radio, cause im not a psycho.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Lostpoet i assure you that is a false thought. i am no killer. i have a stressful job and i like peace and quiet
Lostpoet · M
@akindheart You don't listen to the radio? My statement was in jest not my actual feelings. I sometimes don't listen to the radio either, but when I don't i'm usually reciting poetry to myself as I drive.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Lostpoet sometimes i do. mostly i don't. i like to think things through during the drive. 😀
bowman81 · M
I listen to the radio or an Audio book when driving more than short hops around town.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@bowman81 i was going to try books on tape but i have to focus and i am not sure i can drive and focus on the book
bowman81 · M
@akindheart it depends on the book. Most novels and fiction are easy. Text type material needs more concentration.
exexec · 61-69, C
I listen to NPR or to CDs of music I like
akindheart · 61-69, F
@exexec i don't have a CD player anymore. i did in my last car but not this one
exexec · 61-69, C
@akindheart My truck is a 2003, so it still has a CD player..
akindheart · 61-69, F
@exexec i had a 2017 Corolla with one. i sure miss it.
Tracos · 51-55, M
either a spotify playlist or a podcast

rarely radio, and rarely quiet
MissingLink · 51-55, M
Sometimes i just sit in silence and think
akindheart · 61-69, F
@MissingLink for the most part, that is what i do.
MissingLink · 51-55, M
@akindheart I will occasionally blare the music so I can scream along to it lol
Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M
It depends what is on the local classical station.
Lilred2289 · 31-35, F
Spotify is always playing in my car.
SmoothKnight · 51-55, M
Depends....more peace and quiet I think 😘
Heartlander · 80-89, M
Yesterday was my post office mail check day, entertained along the drive by XM's 40s Junction. Got hit with a delightful old song that had somehow evaded my awareness until yesterday.

JustDJ76 · 46-50, M
It varies. Sometimes I enjoy the windows down and sun roof open, no music, just peace and quiet.
Aysel · F
I like to listen to jazz on the radio while I'm cooking.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Aysel that is great!
Primnproper · 56-60, F
Yes I like a smooth easy listening channel most days..just a calming background.
SW-User
No I don't have a radio but I do listen to music on YouTube 😀
Flipper111 · 51-55, M
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
I always have something playing, music, news, rarely silence.
akindheart · 61-69, F
@uncalled4 my brother has the TV on while he sleeps. not me, i need quiet
Lilnonames · F
I crank it up so I can't hear the sirens🤪
akindheart · 61-69, F
@Lilnonames i do that too. that White Wedding song makes me go faster. Is that Billy Idol?
Lilnonames · F
Lilnonames · F
@akindheart I'm off have a good day
