Default Desert Island discs!!

I'm bored and fancy a fun thread so......

Your 3 fave records and why and one luxury item for your desert island, like this

1. I won't last a day without you -The Carpenters -Our Tune

2. Life on Mars - David Bowie - The first 'real' record I can remember

3.Bohemian Rhaposdy - Cos you can play it anywhere!! LOUD!!

My luxury item would be my mates!! All of them, bl**dy useless, but we'd all have a good giggle, and cos I miss them soooo much

Tricky.......apart from the luxury item - have to be the hi-fi to play the tunes on of course, no point having not much of a life, three records and no decent means of reporoduction - hehe aside from the tribe of man-starved buxom amazons that will poplulate the island.......
Anyway back OT:

1. Led Zep - Since I've Been Loving You - so I can hear the creaky drum kit and chuckle to myself
2. Blur - This Is A Low, from Parklife, to remind me of Blighty and that the weather is mixed in the Northern Hemisphere - also would excercise the sub and bass response of my lovely Castle speakers!!
3. Miles Davis - Flamenco Sketches from Kind of Blue, as it is so soothin- music to chill out to!

BTW, the hifi comes with the rest of my record/CD/SACD/DVDA collection, secreted inside the cabinets!!!

Can't fight this feeling-REO Speedwagon-on our wedding video and says it all for me and wifey.
Don't stop believin'-Journey-an anthem for our troop when I was a squaddie-good times/great mates.
With or without you-U2-always makes me turn the radio up-and well before Bono got all political......

Luxury item would be my drum kit-cant play but trying to learn. As soon as i sit down both kids appear rob the sticks and beat the crap out of everything in range-so solitude appeals for that reason.

my 3 favourite would be

1. paul weller - you do something to me ( it was our wedding song and he is fab in concert)
2. katie melluah - 9 millions bicycles - just a lovely song
3. incognito - anything by them i just love all their cds especially the newest one

with regards

kirstie

Dancing that pretended to be an aerobics class.........and no situps involved at all. The instructor made it for me though. He was a theatrical, part time drag queen and even if I went to his class with the hump, I left beaming cos he was so funny.

D'oh!!!!..........forgot to say that it was my UK aerobics class.

I did look into it in Tauranga and the classes are at the wrong times for me.

Whaddya say about going to Ceroc? I know it's on a Wednesday evening in town. Did it in the UK just before we came and I wasn't very good but it was a laugh. PM me if you're interested
