Desert Island record Hell

[Joenzy]

Okay. You know the cliched "desert Island record" scenario verbatum.
Yer shipwrecked or maybe holding down the last bit of earth uncomprimised by an end of the world
zombie takeover.

You were able to escape with a blowup doll guy or girl or both for you full on freaks.
You also managed to have an unlimited supply of Makers Mark and PBR.
That's the main reason you are all alone. "Fuck people bring the Booze!!"
You also were able to bring with you your lovely musical slave, the i-POD.
One catch...
Your i-pod seems to have a glitch. A major one.
All of your records seem to be deleting in a frantic weepy haze of fear and deep down agony.
Then you notice you can only choose one record to save.
I don't know - this is make believe.
Maybe you Macguyver some B.S. together.
a bannana and stick of chewing gum and a monkey with a strike anywhere match seem
to work...

So, what record. Now, only one. Which one would you save?

There's no way in hell I could ever just pick one album. It's these types of questions that can honestly drive a man insane.

Hell, the battery life on my ipod nanny only goes a day or two anyways. Or do we get docking stations too in this scenario cause if not I'd just get blind drunk and build a ship from the empties.

yeah, kopp. notice how i didn't answer the question?

I'll ditch the iPod scenario and stick with the tried and tested desert island disc.

Off the top of my head with something approximating 20 seconds of thought I'd go for Destroy Oh Boy!

[jailbird]

Yeah, baby, yeah! Thats the everlasting power of my oh so beloved Columbus O-hi-O! Thank you Lost Soul!!

I'd drink the swill out of that washed up bottle, put my nano inside, cast it out to sea & run off with the natives because the records are still at home & zombies don't like the taste of vinyl.

Didn't the Professor come up with a way to recharge batteries to keep their radio running? Maybe you could apply the same technology (wasn't it Gilligan peddling on a crude bike attached to a generator of some kind?) to power your iPod, or your disc player. Or maybe someone has come up with a solar-powered iPod charger. If not, there's an idea for some of you aspiring inventors out there...

Ok...I'll bite:

Gino Washington Out of this World comp on Norton. This one's got everything, from maulers like "Baby Be Mine" to maybe my favorite ballad ever (with some of the best lead guitar I'll ever hear), "Around the Town," to knock-out novelties that are better than should be allowed (once again, with amazing lead guitar), "Do the Frog."

But I might change my mind in a bit. Hear Are the Sonics is giving me the evil eye for not picking it...

Isn't a coconut always involved?

Jerry Garcia - anything "grateful dead" related, so I could end myself right then and there...
it's my suicide music...
"oooh shades of grey."
click - boom.

There's always a GD hater (don't worry, you're not alone) amongst the troggies until they're reminded of what the early stuff sounded like (try Can't Come Down, Cream Puff War, King Bee or Smokestack). If you don't like them, you wouldn't have that on your playlist anyway so you're stuck with the rest of us. But, if you're going to do yourself in, guess it might as well be to their only hit song from the 80's.

[Joenzy]

i think it is "touch of grey" not "shades of."
nah, I'm definitley not a hater.
but i have listened to the "dead" enough to not care for them.
but i'll check out what you recommended when i go dwn to X records today.
Ted's probably got that stuff lurking around somewhere...
thanx.
