LM24 Your Le Mans Playlist

JoshuaLeMans · 29 Jan 2016, 15:18 (Ref:3609048)

So what is on your playlist for this year? or previous years you have come to Le Mans.

On mine mainly I have AC/DC, The Who, David Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and pretty much anything similar to that.

I haven't added any new stuff to it lately, but my playlist on spotify now contains some 500+ songs. Most of them in the same style as Joshua's music of preference. Search for Vincegail's Le Mans Music.

Strange, it should not be hidden. Maybe you can try this:
https://open.spotify.com/user/111603...THGv2JBYFKmNgk

Edit: try searching for it again, I changed something on the spotify settings and it should be OK now.

Often we're more audiobook related for the Le Mans run. Spa 2014 however leaving the Channel Tunnel at Calais I stuck on a Spotify radio based on This Will Destroy You, which worked pretty well for the drive down to Spa (taking the long way round through Mons and Bastogne), a detour into France, and then back to Calais via Liege.

If you want something properly offbeat though, this year's trip down we mainlined podcasts from the Riddle of the Sands Adventure Club which, if you enjoy two eccentric middle aged blokes wittering about history, travel, and literature, punctuated by diversions into strange booze, is pretty much ideal.

Seems interesting, thanks!

I suggest this sample for English-speaking 10tenthers :
Going to Le Mans :

Bad To The Bone
The Jean Genie
Walking On Sunshine
Rudie Can't Fail

Going back home :

Sense Of Doubt (Bowie Eno)
Sailing
Winter (Rolling Stones)

Gingers4Justice · 1 Feb 2016, 14:04 (Ref:3610536)

Usually opt for a mixture of atmospheric indie/alternative rock or electronic music like Deerhunter, Jamie XX, later Arctic Monkeys, M83 etc. I'm usually the driver so I insist on music that I can chill to for the boring parts of the journey.

Some songs remind me of Le Mans before I've even listened to them there, which is strange - but I guess that some songs just have that something. The Cribs - City of Bugs is one of those.

But for any journey over 90 minutes long in a Fiat Panda crammed with 20-somethings and cheap camping equipment, an eclectic music playlist is vital for the sanity of the on-board crew. So while I get to listen to my more calming stuff during the long stretches of motorway where my passengers doze, for the last hour of the journey there or when driving around the circuit during the week, the good people of La Sarthe have been treated to an expansive musical journey via the Fiat Panda's surprisingly loud speakers.

So in recent years, artists such as Kanye West, Taylor Swift, Enya, Peter Gabriel, Crowded House, Ice Cube, Johnny Cash and Matt Monro have had the honour of making it on to my Le Mans playlist.

Some might say you haven't live until you've driven down the Mulsanne Straight on a sunny June afternoon with Orinoco Flow blasting out of the open windows of an under-powered city car.

Team Not No More · 4 Feb 2016, 20:30 (Ref:3611673)

You can't' beat some good old southern rock, lynyrd skynyrd, drive by truckers, any great 70's and 80's tunes, but for absolute atmosphere - try this, Wenesday night, back to camp site after Weds night practice early hours of Thursday am, sucking back a few beers after long trip from the Midlands, Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon,

Cheers Laurent - have fond memories of listening to some of your mixes when we were heading back from your place to the track in 2014 - good tunes!

Mal · 15 Feb 2016, 07:24 (Ref:3614763)

This is my playlist:
2016 - Ford V8
2015 - Healey straight six
2014 - Healey straight six
2013 - Ford V8
.......

GT6 · 15 Feb 2016, 11:20 (Ref:3614806)

so Mal you are giving the big healey a rest for 2016, but will it be going down in july for the classic?

Brake dust · 15 Feb 2016, 12:25 (Ref:3614815)

Am not fortunate enough to make the journey every year - so mine will be listening intently to my GPS for instruction how to navigate thru Paris roads/traffic (flying in from the States). Once into the country side - will listen to a Radio Le Mans podcast!

Simon, I am intending to bring the Ford to the 24H for obvious reasons, and at the moment I may be a passenger for the classic, So the Healey may have to wait till 2017 for its next visit.

That sounds just like what I did last year. During scrutineering stayed in Angers and took the train to Le Mans a few days. Caught up on a bunch of RLM podcasts on the train and while watching scrutineering. During the race I am never without my headphones!

**Aysedasi** · 20 Feb 2016, 10:06 (Ref:3616227)

I have all of last year's free practice, qualifying and the whole race podcasts on four discs in the car. I'm on my 5th run through the race......

Not a bad idea Ayse!

**Aysedasi** · 20 Feb 2016, 10:38 (Ref:3616233)

It's just that I've given up listening to the news going to and from work - far too depressing. I've done this for years.....

**Adam43** · 20 Feb 2016, 19:16 (Ref:3616318)

A year ago I had a job that involved a lot of commuting. That was great for listening to all the races (WEC, IMSA and a few others). I don't get the chance as much now.

For the playlist, on Spotify they have the soundtrack to the recent Steve McQueen: The Man and Le Mans, this has parts of the original film sound track. So I've go that spread through a playlist I'm putting together. I don't think the original film soundtrack is on there.

Then I have a few car related tunes as well as just good tunes and in some cases tunes that are both!

**Aysedasi** · 21 Feb 2016, 18:44 (Ref:3616526)

The original film soundtrack is available Adam - or large parts of it - on a CD called Le Mans/Le Chasseur... I bought it back in 2008.

**Adam43** · 21 Feb 2016, 20:30 (Ref:3616553)

Thank you very much.

Bought.

Mikelancs · 22 Feb 2016, 19:03 (Ref:3616813)

Probably be something to do with radio Lemans podcasts
