Cds and islands

[funkkjunkie]

So if you were stranded on an island, what cds would you want in your backpack? No more than 10.

[rosetree]

Clarification please.....
If the issue contains two CDs, does that count as two...or should we say for example: Springsteen "The River" CD #1...????

[Papins]

do box sets count as "one"?

[rosetree]

do box sets count as "one"?

That's what I was trying to say....

[mdfest]

does an ep count as 1/2 cd? can i take 10 45s and count that as 1 cd?

[mdfest]

and where is this island? warm or cold? cannibals?

[mdfest]

will i have a cd player and electricity to play the cds, or can i just read the liner notes? Or maybe use them to signal a rescue plane?

[mdfest]

there are no Others on this island, are there?

[mdfest]

These are important questions that need to be answered.

Im goin to bed. The Chesapeake will be less 2 bushels of crabs and a couple of rockfish by tomorrow.

[funkkjunkie]

OMG. Yall are such inquiring minds. Box sets and sets with more than one cd count as 1. Eps are 1/2. The island is warm. The cannibals have left for tastier digs. Other peeps are on the island. And you can listen to their cds. You have one cd player with lots of batteries.

[csoul]

I'm too tired to think too much about this right now, but I can say without question my most recent purchase would definately be there. After hearing Susan Tedeschi do "The Weight" with ABB at JF, I decided to check out some of her stuff. This weekend I picked up her latest, "Hope & Desire"......I can't say enough good stuff about it. It's been on a loop since Sunday at my house!

Then of course, I'd pack along some Buffet.....just to keep my spirits up!!

hmmm....I need to sleep on this one....these are some serious decisions.....

MD- you're completely insane! lol

[UncleFester]

the whole box set things messes it up for me because i am afraid i'll have so many cd's that it really doesn't pair down much for me. so for this purpose i will give only 10 each cd counts as one for me-
1. brian eno- music for airports
2. miles davis- kind of blue
3. keith jarrett- the kohl concert
4. the rolling stones- exile on main street
5. the velvet underground- the velvet underground
6. xtc- english settlement
7. the pixies- surfer rosa
8. the pogues- rum, sodomy and the lash
9. neil young- everyone knows this is nowhere
10. the smiths- the queen is dead

then maybe i'd get on a mailing list with the rest of the t-heads that are stranded and hope we can get an exchange going.

i've been listening to Susan T since she first started recording
i was @ JF for first weekend only, but had a feeling she would play with ABB & hated to miss it
also, i waited too late to get HOB tickets for her & buddy
BUMMER!

will have to give the 10 cd's some thought

[funkkjunkie]

LOL, mgreg. Tonight. That's a great way to put it.That's great news because that means if i need to, I can have a new list tomorrow. ;) Love talking about music though and love seeing everyone's lists.

Uncle Fester, juana had a pogues cd in her bunch of cds she had on our Mississippi trip last weekend and she said that bunch of cds were her island cds, which is what gave me the idea for this thread.

[funkkjunkie]

1. Wild Magnolias: Life is a Carnival
2. Galactic: Cooling Off
3. Michael Franti: Yell Fire
4. Robert Randolph and the Family Band: Live at the Wetlands
5. Sly and the Family Stone: Greatest Hits
6. Stanton Moore III
7. Mofro: Blackwater
8. Rising Star Drum and Fife Band: Everybody Hollerin’ Goat
9. Olu Dara: Out of This World
10. Bob Marley: Live at the Roxy

Rules are made to be broken.

I think I cheated a bit.....:p :D

[ohio]

aw man, these are always so tough! I prolly give different answers each time...

in no particular order:
Jeff Beck- Truth (with omg, rod)
The Band- the Band (actually a tie with Big Pink. King Harvest tips the scale- still in love with that tune. You can get both if you go with the Greatest Hits cd)
Pink Floyd- Animals
Pink Floyd- Wish You Were Here
Rolling Stones- Let It Bleed/ Beggar's Banquet (can't choose)
King Crimson- Sleepless (a time capsule from '69 to y2k, from Lake to Belew)
John Coltrane- A Love Supreme
Miles- Kind Of Blue
Jimi- Axis: Bold As Love
ten already? this is cruel...

[funkkjunkie]

LOL, RT. I started to put the Big Ole Box Set but took it off.

Way cruel, Bry. I've changed my mind. Woman's prerogative. I think it should be no more than 20. That's 3 so far for Miles' Kind of Blue. And there's no Allmans on your list...

That's a great Sinatra! I got lotsa Frank including some incredible live shows I've downloaded. Try 'Sinatra & Company'- some cool tunes with Deodato during frank's hipster 'bachelor pad' days...like 'One Note Samba'

For an appropriate title, someone should bring "On An Island," David Gilmour. Not exactly a favorite but not bad. Bought it so I could listen to it on Tybee Island.

By the way, some great selections here.

You sure can! It was tough for me to choose just one Hendrix recording. It would be like asking me if my barn was on fire, which horse would I lead out first!

The reasons I chose B.O.G. were because it is a live recording which reflects the genius of Jimi with no studio noodling and because of the synergy among the players. Billy Cox makes Hendrix take the solos away from him and pushes his playing just a notch higher. Plus, the main line of "Who Knows" is so spooky... I love it.

Buddy Miles provides such excellent support on the drum kit and contributes two songs to the effort. His Changes is an anthem and should be required reading for any funk band.

Of course, Machine Gun still tears me up every time I hear it, to this very day.

One of the many great things about listening to Hendrix's music is that it inspires a curiosity about other forms of music and the origins of what he plays.


Oh, BTW... I noticed that my original post omitted one of my original 10.
It's Destively Baonnaroo, by Dr. John.:o

[ozzie]

Looks like you guys will have the music covered. I'll bring the drinks. And the sunscreen.

[Michelino]

Yes, E.L. is my 2nd fav Hendrix recording. I love Voodoo Chile' and Voodoo Chile'(Slight Return) and Rainy Day, Dream Away for exactly the reasons you mention. Yes, he was light years ahead of the Beatles, and everybody else, at the time. A true innovator, it is mindboggling to think that he played the guitar for only 11 years.

Have you heard the Radio One disc? I bought it a few years ago and it is a lot of fun.

One of the funniest phrases in his work (at least I find it humorous) is how he inserts a line from "Strangers In The Night" into his reworking of the Trogg's "Wild Thing."

It was sort of a dig at the Stones, and a sly comment on the buying public's fickle listening tastes, all at the same time due to Sinatra's "Strangers" knocking the Stones' "Paint It, Black" from the #1 position on the charts.

Anyway, it is sad that Jimi didn't have the time to explore all of his ideas on this go-round. His was a vital and genuine musical voice.

Wouldn't it be cool, though, if Dumpstaphunk did a version of "Changes"?:)

yea u rite...i dont have the radio one disc.....but...
...i would have loved to see hendrix do some music with miles davis.
i was lucky enuf to see jimi twice....one time was really memorable..
it was a movie theater......sly and the family stone were opening act...
this was before sly was famous...they were amazing...wild...etc...
and then jimi, noel, and mitch mitchell came out and just blew the place
away...i still get a chill thinkin about it...his spirit and his music is still with us.

[sophisticated sissy]

You were lucky to have seen him twice!

I never saw him perform. I asked my parents if I could buy a ticket for the show and they said okay. I was about 12 years old and I saved up some baby-sitting money and bought a ticket. It cost about $1.75.

When the night of the show came, neither would give me a ride to the show! Parents!!!:( They can be so frustrating!!! :rolleyes: I guess they were just doing their job, but the JHE never came back through here again.

I kept that ticket for the longest time. Probably lost it the time everything I owned, except the clothes I was wearing and my car, was stolen in New Orleans.

That must have been some show w/ Sly & the Family Stone! :)

[ohio]

cool shit ss.......tuff to go with one hendrix record...
can i add...
axis bold as love
are your experienced....(not necessarlly stoned...but beautiful)
electric ladyland.....

xcusee meee while i kiss the sky..definitely a nice list sis! I got to ten before I really got started on Jimi. I love EL, it was the first Jimi I trully fell in love with. I prefer his studio stuff for that very reason, really lets me drift away almost like meditation. I also used to love 'Cry of Love' album, which was thrown together immediately after his death. So I was happy when his family foundation released most of those tunes on 'First Rays of The New Rising Sun'. These are the tunes he was working on when he died. They even had some of his notes to help put together the album as closely as possible to he would have. Highly highly recommend it!

Thank jeebus for Ipods, Eh?

[sophisticated sissy]

Yes, definitely, dan! The iPod is the greatest since post-it notes!
I was wondering who'd come up with the GD. It was a hard choice, but I almost had Working Man's Dead on my list.

Everyone has such great lists. I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing if we all were neighbors in the same apt. building!:)

[Moon]

Dr. John ~ Destively Bonnaroo

Damn girl. You and I must be the only two people on the planet with this CD.

"R U 4 Real"

[bluesgirl]

I'd have my iPod, so, I'd have to deal with the 4GB of songs that would be on there after my last sync. :D

It is hard to narrow the list to ten. Every time I see someone else's list there is something that could possibly be on the list.......

I figured you have to have an eclectic list and the same genre.....

[funkkjunkie]

mymecca, no bashing peep's lists. You just can't tell somebody they picked a sorry ass cd when it's their island pick, girl. I mean if they break down on the island, we aint got no psych docs around to fix it. :cool:

[Lester_leaps_in]

Ok, if I get off that island, and end up stuck on another island, I'll need another list, now won't I?

So, just in case . . .

1. Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin: A Twist Of Marley
2. Celia Cruz: Afro-Cubana
3. Dave Brubeck Quartet: Time Out
4. The Who: Who Are You
5. Three Mo' Tenors: Three Mo' Tenors
6. Lester Young: In Washington D.C. 1956
7. Wes Montgomery: The Complete Riverside Recordings
8. Fats Domino: The Best Of Fats Domino
9. Nina Simone: Anthology
10. Steely Dan: Citizen Steely Dan

Yep, Woodville, MS. Did you know he started out as a drummer in his dad's band?

I do love his music.

i didnt know he was the drummer...just knew he was in a family band...

i love his sound......theres even some recordings of him playing clarinet
that i have on some old cassettes somewhere...
i love his stuff with Basie......are you familiar with Jimmy Rushings
stuff with Basie?

[Lester_leaps_in]

......are you familiar with Jimmy Rushings

A little . . . I've never been much of a fan of big band vocalists. I should doublecheck my Basie collection for Rushings sides, and listen to him again.

Any recommendations?

That's a great clip. Thanks for sharing it. I will check out more of Jimmy. The tenor sax player on that clip wasn't too bad either.
