So now when you plug your phone into a car, you have at least 10 calming minutes to select the perfect travel tracks instead of suffering through the first 30 seconds of "A.C. Newman — On The Table" from Music From The O.C. Mix 4for approximately the 764th time while screaming at the world.

The track, released Aug. 7, can be purchased for 99 cents and has already received some rave review on iTunes. Die-hard music fans have dubbed the silent banger "life changing" and "an objective masterpiece."
