I freaking love Faith No More (was at Download 2009 and Leeds 2009, touched Patton's arms at Leeds), so this is a pretty great list.

Shihad! 
 
YEAH!

The GTA4 soundtrack predictably provides some of the best driving music: 
 

That's racing game music if I ever saw it.

Liking all the Faith No More on that list.

" Am I missing something, though, or can you only cycle through your power ups left to right? (I know, I know, RTFM) "

Ever since Midnight Club 3, I've found it really hard to listen to The Hand That Feeds when I'm not racing at high speeds. Great song for that.
 
Personally, I discover a lot of good songs through the standard racing/driving game playlists. That's why I don't typically use a custom playlist, since I'd miss out on potentially interesting artists. Heck, I just grabbed some songs from The Qemists a week ago after hearing them in DiRT 2 and Forza 3. I guess I'm kind of weird like that. Probably the same weirdness that made "Reise, Reise" by Rammstein the only CD I played in my car for years.
 
Oh, and my best quick advice for Blur: Always hold an item for escaping weapon fire. Using everything and having an empty arsenal is the surest way to be knocked silly. You probably knew that already, though.

Hair off the dogs back is the best hair.

if i had a racing playlist with only one foo fighters song on it, that song would be all my life. 
 
if.

May I also suggest 
 
  

My new years was crap, some drunk neighbor came over acted like an ass, drank some of our booze then stayed way too long before leaving. Thankfully I hear he hit his head real hard so there is karma! 

Happy '11, everyone! I rang in the new year by going to the next door neighbours' house (already having drunk way too much at two other locations before heading home) and acting like a goose there. I barely know my neighbours – I just know they seem a nice enough bunch of kids – so it probably wasn't the wisest move to agree to come over, even though I knew I was already a bit wobbly. All I remember is having two shots of something or other, then THAT IS ALL. After who knows how long, I somehow managed to leave there, go back next door to my house (I could still manipulate a house key?) and make an arse out of myself for my girlfriend. I also managed to hit my head really hard on the bath tap, but luckily I was so far gone I don't remember it. Huzzah! All week I've been trying to get the guts up to go over there and apologise for anything I may have done or said.
