Find a Catholic Church with a really early morning Mass ... almost always no music at all (unless the priese is chanting the Mass).

We call those "Duck and Cover" Masses. You play your CD of Plainchants on the way to Mass. You "duck and cover" as you run into the modernist church for Mass and pray you can escape before "the band" starts tuning up for the next Mass. Then you get back in your car and listen to Palestrina on the way home...

duck-n-cover .... yeah, it can get that way.

Seriously, though: I make no promises, but it's a good bet when you're traveling. Most 'liturgical abuses' seem, in my experience, to come from the "minister of music" not the priest. It wasn't always this way, but that's been my experience of late ... so if you want pure worship (the Mass) and no nonsense, avoid the "minister of music".
