Because it's a rescue mission, I would say yes, absolutely, rescue music FTW!

Who am I kidding, the answer to music in the car is ALWAYS yes.

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.

My windows are always closed and I always play the radio. Not gonna change for whatever scenario

Have sex with the kidnapper. Then fly to chocolate town for icecream.

Also poop out a duck, a golden duck that has expensive gems for eggs.

Also, I'd own a robot.

I'd be chilling at home. They can keep her.

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.

Neither. I'd call the police, they have the experts. We have reliable police here.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Have you ever watched a movie? Obviously the kidnappers have people on the police force.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Lucky. Some places kill the caller.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Still a bad ending for the kiddnaper.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would be playing Holding Out for a Hero by Bonnie Tyler on repeat driving 90 mph with the windows down

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Initial D - Save Me

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

If I am so intoxicated that it seems like a good idea then music probably sounds amazing

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Of course not.

What are you, crazy?

I'd be listening to NPR.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Man’s going in with Chopins first Ballade. That shit be fire, but also keep me calm so I can make safer choices when I roll up.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nope, conzentration at such stressful situations is important. Also, your adrenaline spikes up making you not even want to have music.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Nah, there's a reason that drums have been used for war for thousands of years. You need epic battle music.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

I just visualized myself driving mad focused, mentalizing myself for the encounter, in silence with “In The Air Tonight” sounding in my head building up tension, ala Miami Vice scene…

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Nope I'd be too busy getting into The Transporter mindset to fiddle with the radio. I may be an audiophile, but I'm a driver first and foremost and I have my priorities. Seconds count in a scenario such as this one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Prairie home companion on NPR will likely be playing

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Lose yourself - Eminem and let the bodies hit the floor…ok I guess 2 songs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

Stuck in the Middle With You, from the Resivoure Dogs soundtrack.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Yes, and some kill people music like some Mushaggah, Cannibal, Slayer, or Stealers Wheel.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fuck. I don't measure the distance on minutes

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

She's been kidnapped by a wizard holding her is a temporal bubble that is perpetually 30 minutes away from you, regardless of your position or velocity. If you move incredibly slowly you can actually see her.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo soundtrack

I'd stop for trash bags and stuff on the way. My wife is the one they should be afraid of.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not quite the music for such an occasion, but their work on The Social Network goes unreasonably hard

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Do you think I can just pull up to a kidnapping not prepped with the right music? I’d get kidnapped too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I don't really listen to music. So no, no music on the way there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

No music, I'm fucking forcing as much gasoline and/or electrons into the motor as the pedal will permit, while planning how to park a little bit away and sneak onto the property quietly.

Let's see who's got the better strategy, because questions will be answered.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

Yes, because my imported car tunes to a foreign radio station that doesn’t exist when you first turn it on, the “source” button cycles through all 27 of the pre-programmed foreign radio stations then moves onto digital radio then CD and then Bluetooth, but picks my wife’s phone first, and needs to fai before allowing you to move onto the next phone.

Honestly, I just drive in silence most of the time.
