Righty, no youtube links, but hey...
Music
- Pink Floyd - Dogs Not my absolute fave Floyd song, but a very close second. Plus it's nearly 20 minutes long, so lots of bang for its' buck.
- Kate Bush - The Ninth Wave Another very long piece. I've always liked her music, but this is a league above the rest of her catalog IMV
- Radiohead - Paranoid Android Where did this come from ?? Single handedly rendered almost all Progressive Rock obsolete at a stroke. To be fair this could have been any one of a number of songs from OK Computer, but this song is a standout.
- Elvis Costello - Pump it up I've always like this song, but it's grown on me bigtime in recent years. Sums up for me what's exciting about Rock & Roll.
- Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven The song that turned me on to the band. Growling guitars, and Kim Deal's bass also reminding me of why I like R&R.
- Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You LZ at their understated best IMHO. Page's guitar throughout this song is superb, and the squeaky bass drum pedal always makes me smile...
- Jesus & Mary Chain - Catchfire Everything I like about JAMC wrapped up in a single song; sleaze, scorched-earth guitars, Jim Reid's hushed vocals, and a narcotic rhythm. Best played very loud...
- Bob Marley - Is This Love ? Not the most profound of BM's work, but he never wrote a more upful song IMHO.
Book
- Joseph Heller - Catch 22 I'm due to read this soon, so this'll do nicely. Absurd black comedy set during WWII. Some of the funniest writing I've encountered.
Luxury Item
- My Hi-fi With only 8 songs to listen to, I might as well listen to quality...
Would I try to escape ? Of course. I need people around to be happy.
How would I do it ? Teleporting of course...
