What music is playing in your Mini?

I'm a fan of music (especially EDM, if you have SiriusXM tune to Ch51). Right now I'm streaming music from my iPhone via Bluetooth (Alpine radio, HD138BT).

If you like music that you'll get lost in...

1) Beam Me Up, Cazzette
2) Love is Darknes, Sander Van Doorn
3) She Wolf, David Guetta
4) Concrete Angel, Gareth Emery
5) Sanctuary, Gareth Emery
6) Levels, Avicii

...to name a few. Channel 51 will give you plenty more.

So, what's on in your Mini?

She wolf by David Guetta is pretty good, havent heard of any of the others. Ill have to look them up. I usually have a mix of alot of different genres playing, from August Burns Red and A Day to Remember to Lil Wayne, Drake, Eminem to Staind, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin.

I have to warn you, "beam me up" is one of those songs you can't get enough of. Once you hear it, you will scour the net to download it. I found it and had to cut some parts out...

Or on Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/3tBHQJmuE0BOKR7l4Anap5

It's currently my favorite song...even my 4yr old daughter sits in the back seat dancing and singing..."beam me up up up up..."

Wow, you are right about Beam Me Up. I just looked it up - very addictive.

Over the past few months I have been loading up a memory stick with my music from iTunes and this is proving to be a very good way to have the music I want and is great on long trips or when I don't want to listen to ads. I picked up a 16GB miniature memory stick for about $10 and it works great.

I use Rhapsody for when I want to listen to something specific and Pandora for when I want to listen to something random or new. I'll listen to basically anything based on my mood except most country and some spanish music, so this is the best alternative to driving around with a terabyte of music.

Local NPR, BPM, and Alt Nation. Sometimes a little 80s on 8. I have to say, though, whenever BPM starts playing Beam Me Up, as they do every hour, i immediately switch to another station. I must be in the minority, I find that song annoying.

Wow, you're definitely the first person I've heard say that! It takes every ounce of effort to not stop in the middle of traffic and start dancing!

Today? Count Your Blessings by Bring Me The Horizon. Probably wouldn't mix well with Cazzette tho...

I have Sirius XM satellite radio (paid for life by the previous owner), but husband disconnected it a few months ago :/ (I wanted to shave my antenna, but it didn't work out so well). Getting it fixed after Christmas.

Anyway, when I WAS listening to that, I had it on the oldie station (the Bridge) when I first brought it home. Then I changed it to AltNation, then I was on a 90's kick!

Now I've succumbed to CD's once again, so I've been listening to 'NSync's Christmas album. Yes, I am rocking out old school style. Still in my 20's, so come on

I have Sirius and as odd as it seems, most of the time I listen to either Octane or 40's on 4.

Someone asked what was playing in my car. He was on the other side of the parking lot. Judging by the ringing in my ears, it was loud.

It was also Deadmau5; 'ghosts and stuff'

Question: in my car the sound quality with Pandora or Internet radio is WAY better than Satalight Radio. Why would anyone renew a subscription with all the better choices that sound better anyway? Am I missing something?

Supercharger whine through custom cai & exhaust note from Invadia cat back make a wonderful mix. Plus you can play it anytime you want.

I use Spotify in my car so theres' all kinds of stuff that gets played in my car. For example, yesterday was stuff like God Forsaken by Demon Hunter, Goodbye by Element Eighty, Down by Motograter, Magnolia by Texas in July, and Cast the First Stone by We Came as Romans. However the day before that was zz top, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
