I will listen to these CDs while slowly dying of starvation and exposure.
Inspired by hotrod, I have decided to post my desert island discs. You know what I'm talking about...the ten albums I'd bring with me if I was getting abandoned on an island that just happened to have a CD player on it. Here they are:
- Various Artists - Real: The Tom T. Hall Project
-
Chappaquiddick Skyline - Chappaquiddick Skyline
- Jackson Browne - Late for the Sky
- Neko Case & Her Boyfriends - Furnace Room Lullaby
- Yo La Tengo - Fakebook
- Wilco - Being There
- Chris Isaak - The Baja Sessions
- Paul Weller - Wild Wood
- Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971
- the Kinks - The Kinks are the Village Green Preservation Society
And yes, that is the Zombies boxed set, Zombie Heaven, hidden over on the right side of the picture. I know it violates the accepted desert island disc rules, but I'm going to sneak it on in addition to my ten discs. I need the complete works of the Zombies in order to survive. If you have a problem with this blatant disregard for the rules, I challenge you to come to my side of the island and try to take Zombie Heaven away from me. I will fight you. I will smash your head with a coconut if you force my hand. Then I will take your desert island discs and add them to my collection.

Okay, let's stop the fussin' and a feudin'. If we're all on this island, we might as well work together. I think we should look into combining our individual desert island discs collections into one big music lending library servicing the entire island. That way we could all listen to Zombie Heaven and no one would get hit in the head with a coconut.
Who am I kidding? I'm taking everybody's discs as soon as you fall asleep.
So now I'm stuck on the island with no music at all. Thanks a lot, 6$. I hope you were kind enough to leave the recipe for those pies. Mmmmm, pies.
Actually I support the idea of the tune lending library and desert island dessert exchange. There are pineapples on Monkey Island. And a blender.
God save Fu Manchu, Moriarty, and Dracula!
The first two songs are excellent, but I don't think there's much of a drop in quality after them. "Twist the Knife" and "South Tacoma Way" are both personal favorites, and the title track is incredible live. I guess Neko won't be on the island with me to sing it, but still.
I think we've had a discussion of our Kinks preferences before. I've got no issues with Arthur or Lola, but I've always been a Village Green man myself.
Okay, we're back to combining our collections and not attacking each other. Sounds good to me. Now if only we can convince Mariser to turn down her stereo at night, we should be set. Tunes, pies, pineapples, and maybe even a helper monkey or two for the chores...who could ask for more?
I'm beginning to feel out of place on this island with my Britney Spears remastered box set. But what would I do without all 37 remixes of "Oops, I Showed My Cooter Again"? This is priceless stuff, people! Priceless!
You have despoiled my Vox of its dignity by using the word "cooter" in reference to the female genitalia. Shame on you, Scott! If you must refer to such things in the future, I would appreciate it if you'd call it by the term I learned growing up in rural north Florida: "juice box"
Oh, I see you know the title of the Britney Spears box set.
