Cruisin’ at the Speed of Sound!

Anyone that knows Brad knows he has two passions in life, cars and music, and often he finds that these two passions overlap or have an indirect relationship with each other. He feels that there is a deep-seated connection as both worlds can ignite feelings and emotions unlike anything else on the planet. Today on the show our panel of petrol-heads and audiophiles: Peter Cline (VETMotorsports), Donovan Lara (GarageRiot) and GTM members Rob Luhrs and Mountain Man Dan talk about that connection, as well as other car-and-music adjacent musings and topics.

Brad’s Playlist and Memories

Notes

Below is just a portion of the stories we cover in this episode, enjoy these seemingly random musings and more!

  • Some of my all-time crusin’ songs: Megadeth – High Speed Dirt, Queen – Don’t Stop Me Now, Boston – Let Me Take You Home Tonight, AC/DC – Highway to Hell, Jay-Z – Big Pimpin’, Golden Earring – Radar Love, Cake – Going The Distance, David Bowie – Stay, Cry of Love – Highway Jones
  • Cruising down the main strip in Ocean City blasting “Sunglasses at Night” with my brother and friends in the car, hitting on girls
  • Playing GTA Vice City and literally spending hours riding a motorcycle and listening to the radio stations in the game. 
  • Some of the best times of my life were creating playlists just to go for a drive at night and listen to them over and over again with friends and alone
  • Grabbing a 6 pack of beer, driving my jeep to a secluded spot with a girl, putting on the CD and watching night sky, talking and dreaming
  • Flipping through my 100 page CD book while navigating traffic on 495 searching for that perfect CD and perfect song
  • I found my favorite band, Opeth, while working at a car dealership. I would wash and fuel up cars and every time I got in one I would immediately tune the radio to Liquid Metal for fun, one time I did it and “Ghost of Perdition” was one, I stopped the car, closed my eyes, and thanked the gods that music like that existed. 
  • Cruising to the beach as a kid with my mom, tapping on my knee to the music 
  • I got the idea of road trip playlists from my dad after helping him make one for a trip to Florida
  • Camping out for concert tickets all night with the radio blasting and 100 becoming friends with 100 people instantly
  • I have issues with self confidence, but when I drive or when I’m listening to music, I feel unstoppable and like I have all the confidence and self esteem in the world
  • Movies like American Graffiti, Baby Driver, and The Fast and The Furious, all car-esque movies with heavy musical influences and undertones all throughout the movies
  • Driving 3 hours up the road to Philly just to see a concert in a venue the size of a shoe box. And meeting for the first time a friend who would eventually be in my wedding party

and much, much more!
