I've just heard Voodoo Ray and Far Out in the space of a short walk, which ain't bad. What's polluting the streets by your feets?

Akon & his shitty little entourage, (Ilford, Goodmayes, naturally)

Although I did hear someone playing pinch - deleted scenes out of a crossfire the other day.

Not long ago I heard emanating from a car, at a volume more usually associated with bangin' speed-garridj...the first Enigma album. God, my parents listen to that crap. Pfffft.

I swear this morning I heard bagpipe music emanating loudly from a car in a quiet Tyneside suburb. Until then, weirdest thing I'd heard was Johnny Cash (other than stuff I've been playing myself of course).

Some girl drives home from work most weekdays and always gets to the same track on Buju Banton's 'Til Shiloh - "Untold Stories" - when she gets to the intersection near my flat. Often to the bit where he says 'you know the east is the best' actually. Nice summer music, as well.

riding around today on my bike I heard a car banging some pretty great juke - no idea who/what tune/etc, cause I don't really know that much juke & a lot of it sounds kinda same-y anyway (at least to me) - not the first time that's happened, living in Chicago, tho it's not exactly a frequent occurence.

also, & apropos of the recent Mexico thread, the other day I heard some Latin dudes banging a Los Tigres Del Norte narcocorrido.

sometimes
i used to live in a house where a guy would drive past all the time playing natural mystic by bob marley, all the time, it was ghostly and heavy, loved it, used to shake the house.

Around N4 its funky, esp in the morning by fuzzy logik which i hear alot, loads of cars just make me want to rush home and try and find the tracks.

Every time I hear the music from a passing car, it's always something from the early '90s or before, doesn't matter who it is or how old they are.

Songs that I can remeber hearing from passing cars recently:

Snow - Informer
House of Pain - Jump Around
Sir Mix A Lot - Monster Mack
2Pac - 2 Of Amerikaz Most Wanted

My town is basically a retirement community and has no musical culture to speak of. I'm jealous of you guys who live in places like London/New York/Chicago and get to hear interesting music regularly.

i always hear a lot of bangrah/asian sound system, some really dutty bass heavy stuff, sounds nang on ilford highroad, as the buildings act as some sort of subwoofer, where its so thin in parts (warning, it doesnt sound nothing like a sub, hard to explain)
