If you could load it with 10 albums, what would they be?

For me:

Radiohead - OK Computer
Radiohead - The Bends
Radiohead - Kid A
Pixies - Doolittle
Pixies - Surfer Rosa
FB&tC - Black Letter Days
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans
The Beatles - White Album
Yo La Tengo - And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out


All my faves and the Yo La Tengo is great to fall asleep to (maybe I should change it to Sigur Ros).

Thanks Denis - I very nearly picked Low but went for Lodger as I've not listened to it quite as much.

Bowie: David Bowie (to remind me of London in a time I only knew in my dreams...)

Marc Almond: Mother Fist and Her Five Daughters (when your alone you have to remember your hand...)

Bryan Ferry: As Time Goes By (to remember the lounge and comfortable places)

Frank Black: Teenager of the Year(s) (to remind me of Pop Music)

Scott Walker sings Jacques Brel: (I'd rather go for this less depressing period!)

Pere Ubu: Worlds in Collision (A bit of funny vibes...)

Brahms: Eine Deutsche Requiem (Before I sacrifice myself)

Depeche Mode: Music for the Masses (to keep good memories of the 80's)

Velvet Underground: White Light/White Heat (for Sister Ray)

hWolsky: Angels Go Home (the next big thing.. to come.. one day)


The art of recycling common thread!

I fear once the 3rd album comes around, the mp3 player batteries would run out.

Unless you're talkin' solar-power. Or maybe a little handle crankin' device. Or maybe hydro-fuel. Or fueled my stupidity.

Sure is, buddy. But that's OK. I'm going to cheat and change my mind again. No more sleeping to Yo La Tengo. Kid A is all I need. I must have SMiLE on my list. Creating a list this difficult directly after waking up makes one forgetful.

Good! Most of you all have some good taste... We could spend a few weeks on a desert island all together... I suggest Corsica!

Oh, by da way... No Radiohead albums allowed...

Maybe the Professor will build a generator out of coconuts.

Anyway, I'd say my choices would be:

1. XTC - Skylarking
2. They Might Be Giants - Apollo 18
3. Pixies - Bossanova
4. Frank Black - Teenager of the Year
5. Dukes of Stratosphear - Psonic Psunspot (or Chips from the Chocolate Fireball, if it's allowed)
6. The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (Hey, it IS all one album! {g})
7. Young Fresh Fellows - This One's for the Ladies
8. Camper Van Beethoven - self-titled
9. Cracker - Forever
10. Tom Lehrer - That Was the Year That Was



I was all out of luck, like a duck that died. I was all out of juice, like a moose denied.
