4 car-related concept albums
- Autobahn – Kraftwerk
- Stainless Style – Neon Neon
- Landcrusing – Carl Craig
- Little Deuce Coupe - The Beach Boys
Useless fact: Autobahn and Landcruising both being with a sample of car door being closed and an engine starting. (And the title track of both albums is outstanding too.)
Lykke Li Live
Louder and better than in her album. Recommended. Listen here.

You obv never worked retail in the US, where Muzak is the bane of your existence, piping poor instrumental covers of popular music into large consumer centers to pacify the masses into a zombie-like state of mass consumption.
Sometimes I like the muzak versions tho.
