I already talked about the joy of a good mix and outlined some rules. Well, one of my favorite types of mixes is something to drive to. I like the music to be high energy, loud and rockin’. I've made several but this one is my favorite thus far. Here’s my most recent Drive mix, with videos included when possible.
A View From the Afternoon – Arctic Monkeys
This is the first video I’ve ever seen with a drummer so prominently featured. In fact there doesn’t appear to be any other band members in the video at all.
Megalomaniac – Incubus
Blue Orchid – White Stripes
Kick It - Peaches (feat. Iggy Pop)
All My Life - Foo Fighters
Lithium - Nirvana
Date Rape - Sublime
Cocain Cooked the Brain - Nico Vega
This song doesn’t even begin to demonstrate how awesome Aja's (vocalist) voice is. Check out some of their other videos; Nico Vega is one of the best bands I’ve found so far this year. And on the MySpace label no less…
Hella Good - No Doubt
The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails
Let's Go Crazy - Prince
Wake Up - Rage Against the Machine
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The music video has much better sound quality but embedding was disabled. You can check it out if you’d like.
The Widow - Mars Volta
Ok, a strange video to go along with a strange song. I still love the song even if I have no idea what its about and the video is like a bad psychedelic trip.
Happiness is a Warm Gun - The Beatles
Sorry folks the montage is the best I can do…

I wasn’t allowed to listen to Prince for a long time; my mom thought it was too adult. Funnily enough, by the time I was a teen-ager, I pretty much pillaged her Prince collection. Its as though nothing was going to keep me from becoming a Prince fan.
For a while, my oldest son’s favorite song was “Delirious.”

Music for Writing?
I’m sure many writers can attest to the fact that the having the right music playing while they’re writing can make the difference between inspired and creative writing or writing that reads like it was a chore. Over at…
