I want to put together a playlist for my ipod to help me at mayhem this year. I've got a couple of hours worth, but am interested to hear what other people listen to-what have you found works well & what doesn't,
but please don't let this turn into 'you shouldn't listen to an ipod when riding, its dangerous' type of thread 🙂
drumz n bassz. old skool hardcore. anything with a fast beat really! - not including speedcore

is good for some good singletrack[/url]
Prodigy voodoo people and also more so that music i listened to some pod casts and dave gorman "genius" shows during the night. Just to keep the brain ticking over more than anything !
* i did find my self responding to any questions he asked his guests in the middle of the night on the lonely hours laps

I listened to the ricky Gervais xfm shows when i did it solo a few years ago. On the Sunday morning I was pushing up the Kenda climb crying with laughter. People were asking if I was Ok, I couldn't speak.
DnB.

Just a few of my favourites..
Something in there for most... 
Apollo 4-40
The wind, countryside and the birds make my music.
And if I'm on the roadbike-horning from cars...
radoggair, good call on the depth charge 😉
my selection in order of preference...

you have to sign up for RA. only takes a minute tho.
What I mostly reach for at the top of a sweet singletrack section:
Muse - Map of the Problematique
Iggy Pop - The Passenger
The Pixies - Dig for Fire
Although I find the thought of an iPod while doing Mayhem a bit alien, what with the beauty of the dawn lap with just the sound of a smooth drivetrain, I must confess that one year I couldn't get Enrique Iglesias's "Escape" out of my head. So my advice is to programme anything you like just to avoid that nightmare.
Rise Against
Slackstring
+44
Angels & Airwaves
System of a Down
Biffy Clyro
Linkin Park
The Offspring
Pigeon Detctives
Are all on mine for the evening/morning shift, Zero 7 as the sun comes up is always a good one. Then i listen to the voices in my head, and my drivetain full of mud, and my aching bones ;0)
At the moment there's a mixture of Offspring, Foo Fighters, led zep & slackstring, but quite like some of the sugestions on here, so will be attacking itunes tomorrow!
Many thanks
"I must confess that one year I couldn't get Enrique Iglesias's "Escape" out of my head. "
At the bannockburn challenge in nz i had kid rock all summer long stuck in my head , was going mental by the end!
and at 10 UTB i seemed to have shamrock stuck in my head ! till someone put on Kingofleon on the tannoy which was a relief !
Joe Satriani, "Surfing with the alien". Good fast guitar & no vocals. "Not of this earth" is also good
podcast from itunes - Dj Dunno
Can't recommend anything to listen to but having seen a guy hold up loads of riders because he couldn't hear them behind him (including one of the Giant team riders who to his credit remained very calm and polite in asking if he could pass) remember to think of others.
