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?

"living on an island" by status quo(but don't ask me how it got there,ok!!!)

then with all the empty bottles i've emptied,i'd be writing a thousand messages for each and lobbing them back in the sea..
the quo song will drive me to a permanent alcoholic daze,and drive me to drink and write even faster than ever!

what would happen first?
would i die of alcoholic poisoning,exhaustion,or be saved?
only smarties have the answer.

The Electronic Hole album - raw, droning, hypnotizing and chock-full of fuzz - but housed in a an Electric Ladyland cover (you know which one).

[Tommy Careless]

Gun Club - Miami
I lived in Fredericton New Brunwsick, with my girlfriend ( now wife ) while she attended school. I listened to that record every day.... and if Fredericton ain't all but a desert island, I don't know what is.

Yeah, yeah, ....yeah, yeah that one too, and that, ok!

Alla tha things here are sweet end times listening!

The Sonics would have to work as the last refuge blow to take out a 1000 zombies attacking my sandwich stash - like they did eversince they were played first! That record is gone doin' what it does best.

So then after the hordes have been shot/beat down I'll be sitting back enjoying a club with a turn at "BO DIDDLEY's ROCK'N'ROLL"!!! Over and over again.

That is until a play of SPRINGEY coming from some cavern raises another horde - like it did eversince. I'll have to launch the NEW BOMB TURKS NIGHTMARE SCENARIO at them right before it is deleted and sit my four down in some loud peace finally, watching the red settle over the ruins.


"BOOM! MO' FO's"

[Joenzy]

Right on... Idon

I still cannot decide what i'd listen to...

i think i'd just make music instruments outta sea-life and go at it.

Real Kids - S/t.

[Lord Muck!!]

Wild Thing - The Troggs (from Andover) - Easy! next question...

[ELpollacko]

I would have to let the ipod die.

Gather up some coconuts and bamboo, carve up some palm stumps and build myself a castaways style one man band. Keep myself drunk and entertained.

[Alex]

It'd definitely be between The Sonics "Here are the Sonics" or The Kingsmen "In Person"

[Traitor Vic]

I agree with Kopper! This is the type of question to which All Answers are Incredibly Wrong, simply because none of us has ever faced anything even remotely similar to the situation described. And worrying about "A Record" (ANY RECORD) would be completely unimaginable at the moment about which we're speaking. Thank goodness we don't have to face THIS in reality.

If pressed into it, though, I might could make a choice or two.

If it was the Desert Island thing... Screw the iPod. Throw it into the lagoon. Grab Ginger and Maryanne by the hair and drag them into your hut. There's no electricity here. Your iPod is alive for the next... what? Two Hours? Maybe?

Zombies are different, though. For one thing, they're not Intentionally Destructive of Anything Other Than Human Flesh, so Power Plants are going to continue to operate. Without an active, involved and ALIVE staff, however, a Coal Burning Power Plant won't last more than about 6 hours (maximum). If you're lucky enough to live within the range of a Nuclear Power Plant, you can probably count on it continuing to work for a few months. Regardless of how long it takes for it to die, You will want to stay the hell away from it for as long as, well..., EVER!

I would probably choose The Rolling Stones' "Exiles on Main Street", which sounds horribly lame and "Rolling Stone Magazine Influenced", but is the only record I can think of that contains all of the variety that I would need to survive a Zombie Holocaust. It caught The Glimmer Twins at their most creative and most messed up moment. It Proves that You Can Do Great Art Under the Influence! Well... Okay. Maybe not that YOU can, but that Someone Could! It's raw without trying or pretending. It Rocks, It Grooves (which could come in handy if there are any surviving females or if there aren't and you become horrifically desperate), and It Twangs. It's not perfect, but then... Neither is living in a Secure Structure in which you are surrounded by Flesh Eating, Formerly Living Friends, Neighbors and Family Members.

Lets face it. Zombies are Dead People. Dead People are made of Dead Flesh. Dead Flesh doesn't last forever. I figure I've got to spend a couple of months (at the most) listening to the same record over and over before the flies have chewed my mortal enemies to tiny bits. Then I can go to any record store I want and take anything I want (although, despite my Lifetime Supply of Makers Mark and Pabst Blue Ribbon, I'll probably just go to a Liquor Store instead)!

Does this make me happy? Not really (Although the fact that I now have access to ALL THE LIQUOR IN THE WORLD certainly keeps me from becoming too despondent). Now I am left to spend the remainder of my days wondering when the next __________ (<--- Insert Band Name Here) record is coming out.
