Desert Island Discs

[Domino]

Blind Melon. Fat bumblebee girl.

DJ Tiesto = the Love. I had a DJ on a college station here in town who'd spin me imported trance when I called up late at night.

This was fun~!

These songs would put me in the right mindset to get through the day:

Eluvium – “Indoor Swimming at the Space Station” combined with "Seeing You off the Edges"
(15 1/2 minutes long with no lyrics. I don't know why, but it just makes me feel inspired to make the most of every moment )

Boards of Canada - "Dayvan Cowboy"
(I like to listen to this track while looking at the sky/clouds . I guess I'll be doing that more often if I'm stuck on an island.)

Zero 7- “Waiting to Die”
It's just a day like any other day
A beautiful day for an accident, let's say
Yes it's just a day, like any other day
Just one step closer to the end of the buffet
La la la la la la
La la la la, 'cause we're waiting to die

Now it's a good time for a tasty glass of wine
Let's not burden our minds with carbon dioxide
And everyone hurry, don't sit and abide
Yes, everyone stand up, we're running out of time
La la la la la la
La la la la, 'cause we're waiting here to die

Look what a terrible mess that we've made
The sun beats us down as we search for the shade
And, yes, it is true, death is everyone's fate
But we've made it this far, it's time to celebrate
La la la la la
La la la la, 'cause we're waiting here to die
La la la la la
La la la la, 'cause we're waiting here to die

Elefant – “Bokkie”
Jumping with your eyes closed, Landing on the sun
Being young and beautiful, In love with no one
But yourself

You wanna slowly fade away, but you can't, So you stay

Feist – “I Feel It All”
No one likes to take a test
Sometimes we don't pull or flex
Put your weight against the door
Kick drum on the basement floor
Stranded in the fog of woods
Looking like the winter bird
On my head the water pours
Cops stream through the open door
Fly away
Fly away to what you want to make

Gorillaz – “19-2000” (Soulchild Remix)
There's a monkey in the jungle
Watching a vapor trail
Caught up in the conflict
Between his brain and his tail

And if time's elimination
Then we got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message
It's the music that we choose

Oh yes!
Keep a mild groove on

The Good, the Bad & the Queen – “Herculean”

The Ditty Bops – “In the Meantime”
Cat in the upstairs window
Staring down at me
Life seems to have a purpose
When you're wandering aimlessly
In the meantime
What am I missing
I'm missing out
In the meantime
I will be living
There is no meantime
There is only now

Is there something I'm supposed to be doing
If there is I just don't know
Tell me so that I can disobey
The rules were meant to bend and change
If we're not so tight
We won't break when we fall

Waiting around all day
They didn't make the play
Don't get mad you'll only get madder
It's hard to get even when things don't matter
Stop the tape playing
Mundane chatter and leave

In between the place you thought
You'd be and where you are
Check my pulse if I'm living
Fine time to be alive
Feel the breeze, touch the water
I'll feel better
There's no way I'd rather pass the time
Wandering aimlessly

Weezer – “Island in the Sun”
Hip hip
Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As you drift into the zone

On an island in the sun
We'll (I'll) be playing and having fun
And it makes me feel so fine
I can't control my brain

Survivor – “Eye of the Tiger”

Dude it's gotta be songs not albums!!! Okay, I didn't say that to start with, but I'm saying it now, dammit, and editing the OP to say it!

Actually, when I put Jane's Addiction on mine, I was thinking of their cover of No Rain, and then I was torn about which Blind Melon song to put on, and Mouthful of Cavities very nearly made it. But I was thinking I'd take a guitar and just sing/play that one myself

But that Bjork and Pearl Jam you got there has reminded me of two CDs I have on my rack that I haven't listened to for ages. I put Post on and now I'm thinking dammit, how did I ever forget how good this is?

What's the proper way to reference song titles? I thought song titles are supposed to be in quotation marks and album titles in italics?

Don't think it really matters. I use italics cos it's quicker than quotation marking everything. French keyboard, see. Quote marks are awkward to reach (for me).
