Emotional Memories of a Car for ThreeTunesTuesday

avatar

(Axe - Battles)

a warm wind blowing memories
makes me long for home
but a cold wind blows much harder
and makes me wanna roam

( EN / DE ) Music is the best time travel machine, isnt it? Galen had asked some time ago for the car ride music that we like best. And a certain CD came to my mind. Wasn't sure if I still had it, but sure enough I found it between lots of old backups. It is an MP3 CD from 2006, stored on it 166 mostly rock tracks.
Musik ist die beste Zeitreisemaschine oder? Galen hatte vor einiger Zeit nach der Autofahrt Musik gefragt, die uns am besten gefällt. Und da kam mir eine bestimmte CD in den Sinn. War mir nicht sicher ob ich sie noch habe, aber tatsächlich habe ich sie zwischen jeder Menge alten Datensicherungen gefunden. Es ist eine MP3 CD aus dem Jahre 2006, darauf gespeichert 166 zumeist rockige Titel.

Not so scratched for a car CD. Probably because it was in the player most of the time. Gar nicht so zerkratzt für eine Auto CD. Wahrscheinlich, weil sie die meiste Zeit im Player war.

When I burned this CD I drove my forever favorite car, a BMW E30 Touring, which was not the youngest anymore when I bought it with 90.000 km. Well, I sold it over a decade later with a kilometerage of 430,000! He still drove, but the German TÜV had unfortunately no joy with the rust :-( Almost 350,000 kilometers with this vehicle on the road of course I always listened to a lot of music, because too much radio chatter is not my thing.
Als ich diese CD gebrannt habe fuhr ich mein für immer und ewig Lieblingsauto, einen BMW E30 Touring, der war da auch schon nicht mehr der Jüngste als ich ihn mit 90.000 km kaufte. Nun, verkauft habe ich ihn über ein Jahrzehnt später mit einem Kilometerstand von 430.000! Er fuhr immer noch, aber der deutsche TÜV hatte leider mit dem Rost keine Freude :-( Während ich also fast 350.000 Kilometer mit diesem Fahrzeug unterwegs was hörte ich natürlich immer sehr viel Musik, denn zuviel Radiogeplapper ist nicht mein Ding.

The crazy thing listening again now after years, it was like a time travel and funny enough for most songs at the end I knew wich would be the next one. Images of the A8 near Munich, images of the Enns Valley and so many experiences were immediately clear and distinct. Well, I think I have to do a post about this car one day. But now for the music on this CD, it was difficult, but I chose three that I particularly like and evoked the most emotions/memories:
Das verrückte war jetzt aber, nachdem ich die CD wieder entdeckt hatte musste ich sie natürlich sofort abspielen. Es war wie eine Zeitreise! Bilder der A8 bei München, Bilder vom Ennstal und von so vielen Erlebnissen waren sofort klar und deutlich da. Na, ich denke ich muss eines Tages einen Post über dieses Auto machen. Jetzt aber zur Musik auf dieser CD, es war schwierig, aber ich habe drei ausgewählt, die mir besonders gefallen und die meisten Emotionen/Erinnerungen hervorriefen:

TTT1 - Axe Battles

You've already heard the first tune at the beginning of this post. Axe was an American band from the early 80s, which actually received far too little fame.
Den ersten Tune habt ihr schon zu Beginn des Posts als Einstimmung zu hören bekommen. Axe war eine amerikanische Band aus den frühen 80er Jahren, die eigentlich viel zu wenig Bekanntheit erhielt.

If you wanna look for more Axe music, here the link to their Youtube Theme. Wer gerne mehr von Axe hören will, hier habe ich den Youtube Themen Kanal verlinkt:

TTT2 - Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen

The names of those with whom she was active as a support band or even as a band member actually reads like the who's who of music history... for example Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix. And as the singer of the group Fleetwood Mac. I like her voice and "Edge of Seventeen" is simply ingenious car cruising music.
Die Namen derer bei denen sie als Vorband oder auch als Bandmitglied aktiv war liest sich tatsächlich wie das who ist who der Musikgeschichte... zum Beispiel Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix. Und als Sängering der Gruppe Fleetwood Mac. Ich mag ihre Stimme und v"Edge of Seventeen" ist einfach geniale Automusik

Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen

TTT3 - Machiavel - Fly

Machiavel, a band from Belgium, also formed in the 70s. Just perfect to cruise along relaxed. Machiavel, eine Band aus Belgien, ebenfalls gegründet in den 70er Jahren. Einfach perfekt um entspannt dahin zu cruisen.

Machiavel-Fly

The first BMW E30 rolled off the production line in December 1981. Maybe that's why this music suited this car so well, because they were of the same spirit.
Der erste BMW E30 rollte im Dezember 1981 über das Laufband. Vielleicht passte diese Musik deshalb so gut zu diesem Auto, weil sie demselben Zeitgeist entsprangen.

Somehow everything was clearer and with a line. Maybe I'm wrong and just have transfigured, nostalgic memories?
Those pure sounds. Those pure cars. This pure life. I miss that. Have we traded it in for digital one-size-fits-all?

Irgendwie war alles klarer und mit einer Linie. Vielleicht täusche ich mich und habe nur verklärte, nostalgische Erinnerungen?
Diese puren Sounds. Diese puren Autos. Dieses pure Leben. Ich vermisse das. Habe wir es getauscht gegen digitalen Einheitsbrei?

This was my ThreeTunesTuesday post for @ablaze and as always I hope you enjoyed :-) Yours, B.

Good three tunes! btw: about cars - I still have peugeot307Break I bought in 2003 before my first son born, now it has 450.000 km, done by me, everything works (well except clima, need to buy new compressor) and it's for him, he is 19 and preparing his driving license. I mean if he can drive that old car he can drive everything :)

Who needs clima with this weather ;-)
Thats great you keep it for your son. Guess all those new cars will never reach that age and kilometers.

These are definitely some great cruising songs. It's pretty impressive how many "slow" songs like Axe's Battles are good for the road, but they really bring out the enjoyment of roadtrips.

Ich denke schon, vieles ist nur noch synthetisch mit wenig LOGIK.
Zum Glück finden immer wieder Suchende den Geist der damaligen Revolution.

I'm impressed!!! That's in great nick to be fair like!

When I burned this CD I drove my forever favorite car, a BMW E30 Touring, which was not the youngest anymore when I bought it with 90.000 km. Well, I sold it over a decade later with a kilometerage of 430,000!

Quality motor and impressive mileage clocked up and lots and lots of tunes along the way. I'm the same with the radio, can only listen to it in very small doses and would take podcasts and my music all day long, so I have a hell of a lot of CDs in my shed, cannot bring myself to throw them out or give them away, too many memories! Loving the three tunes here too by the way, I can imagine you flying along in the E30 listening to them..
