Whistle while you (drive to) work!

I promise, all the Disney pictures are coincidental. Really!

It's that time again. The alarm clock has rung (multiple times), you're dressed, brushed, and out that door. You get into your car to start your morning commute and what's the first thing you do? If you're like me, you turn on the radio and listen to some music. For me, I have my iPod hooked up to an adapter, so I have a lot of genres and bands to choose from.

Yes, music is what helps my commute go faster and more enjoyable in the morning and in the evening when I leave work. Some people opt to listen to the news or has a favorite radio station, but for me it's the iPod. At times, there may be only one band I listen to on repeat for weeks, before finally choosing someone else or hitting "shuffle". No matter who I'm listening to, I have to have music playing as I'm driving.

So what music do you listen to? Who are your favorite bands? Which artists would you play in the morning and would they be the same on your way home? Are you like me and play fast music and then end up speeding because you pretend to be a speed racer? Yeah, me neither *wink wink*. I'm hoping with today's blog, I'll actually have some comments as to who to listen to.

However, before you wonderful readers can make suggestions, you'd have to know my preference. Currently, I'm listening to: The Bravery, The Kooks, The Rakes, Black Kids, Panic! at the Disco, The Young Knives, The Killers, Plain White T's, and possibly some show tunes. What? I'm not allowed to sing "To Life" and "If I were a Rich Man?" I do enjoy a lot of European bands for some reason (could be the accent), but I'm typically open to anything that has a good beat. I've been known to listen to Lady Gaga and other pop stars that are hot right now (but please, no Justin Bieber!).

I do love music. I love to hear that song for the first time and then find the lyrics online to sing along. I love to get that one great song on "shuffle" that just sums up the day you're having, or possibly lets you scream out your frustration. I mean, would I look like that weirdo if you were driving next to me? You bet your tuchus! But still, it'd look like a fun party you kinda/maybe wish you were invited to.

So with the weekend upon us and one more drive (on the way home) from work this week, who are you going to listen to? Are you going to be singing some pop, listen to country, or rock out to hard metal? No matter what you choose, just remember that no matter how good you may think you sing in the car, you probably shouldn't try out for American Idol.

At least that's what my parents tell me.
