Things I Love: Rhythmic Coincidences

August 16, 2006 ·  

This might seem odd, but I love it when you are driving down the street listening to music and something outside moves along at the exact same beat. For example, a jogger on the sidewalk is taking steps at the exact same beat as your music. Or, like today, I was listening to “On The Road Again” while I was driving down 95 here in Las Vegas. If you’ve taken that road just East of the Sphagetti Bowl, you know that there is quite a bit of bounce on that road. My truck was bouncing up and down at the exact same beat as the song. I think that is cool.

There was a car commercial a while back that had everything lining up with the music as they drove. I loved it. I call these Rythmic Coincidences. Here’s hoping you get to have some soon.

    YES! That is exactly it. I knew it was a Volkswagon commercial but I didn’t know what it was called.

    Thanks. I love that commercial.

    Darn, I love those, too! It’s especially great not only with outside things, but if you say the same words as a song in a different context at the same time, or if something in a video’s audio (if it is just an audio track, with, say, a song) coincides with something in the video! Those are great!
