"According to a new study, listening to Pavement will not only turn you into a music geek, but it'll improve your driving as well.
CBC.com reports that a new British study has found that singing along to music while you're driving helps you concentrate more, which means you won't fall asleep at the wheel.
So dust off those old Thrush Hermit albums and get your Arcade Fire records ready, because the study also says that the best type of music to listen to while you're driving is rock and indie rock.
Not only will Stephen Malkmus' warble help you avoid falling asleep on the road, but it'll do a better job at it than talk radio, silence or even talking to a friend about indie rock.
Rock 'n' roll isn't the only music that'll keep your car from slamming into the guardrails — easy listening and soothing classics should keep the blood pumping and the eyelids open as well.
However, if you like taking chances with your life then throw on some Eminem or 50 Cent. The study reports that hip-hop or aggressive classical numbers can actually distract drivers.
Now, if only someone did a study on how to change your CDs without driving over the median."
