Liana I can accept the condition that Kylie doesn't sing.....but I would have to insist, nay suggest, nay lightly hint, that you refrain from singing too, at least until you have auditioned a la "Pop Idol" for all the residents on the Island
...you can sing
your rendition of Lady in Red, I will always Love you...and finally your trumphant version of Feelings"
after that a tribal council will convene to consult on your performance...
Do you accept these terms ?
Liana - I wouldn't have "Wonderful Tonight" on my island, would not make my top three thousand - I was trying to be nice to poor Stormy.
Martin T - "Teenage Kicks" is probably my favourite song, but it didn't really fit my desert island mood.
Primate- if you're bringing Kylie, we will need someone who can cook as well - someone who has maybe written some cookery books, maybe a brunette.... ?
have just remembered why I don't join in list making activities.
concedes that wonderful tonight is crap. but I unconciously associate it with a particular event that has fond memories.
*curls up in foetal ball as the doc martins of taste put the boot in*

Darlings, I agree with you all. Our 80's pop selections are soooo good. I'm glad I wasn't born in an earlier era. fancy having to grow up listening to the glitter band! shudder.

*hastily justifying the dodgier ones above*
I have a book of poems entitled 'Nigger' by Labi Siffre. Sad to say, Liana, some of them ...er... rhyme.
Labi is currently residing in Wales. He says he loves Wales because people there hate him for being English first, and for being black and gay second. He finds this most refreshing.
Remember: A Peugeot 307 isn't just a number.
It's a bucket of crap on wheels.
Old age Andrea?

has made me think of the top ten tunes that make you want to kill at family wedding discos ...
1. the birdie song
2. that one that goes ..."whatsa matter you ... hey! ... gotta no respect ..."
3. that one that goes ... "hey ho silver lining .."
over to you ...
and what's that one where you have to sit between auntie edie's open legs ... with uncle stan sitting between yours etc. and you have to do a lot of movements including swaying about and leaning forward and back?
yes ... that one storms ... *shudders* ... the one that has me bolting for the door ...
i used to think i was fairly groovy on the old dance floor you know ... but just recently my teenagers have been pointing out that i dance the same way to every thing ... they do cruelly accurate impressions ... *sighs* ... i have turned into An Embarassing Parent and Social Liability ...
*horrid visions of that unsteady jigging about on one foot dance my dad used to do ...*
co-incidentally, I have a photograph taken a couple of years ago in France of a sign outside a cafe.
It had a picture of a fish on it with "le doris" written underneath.
Wears "Ivory is Cruel to elephants" T-shirt.
Actually, this is quite technical, but... yes, I think I can go into Ivory's abc set and replace Eating Oranges with 'Soothing Poem about small bird"
*Still not getting over "more than a feeling" *
Maybe we should hijack this thread into ten records you wish were stranded on a desert island with no record player...
*Bread???*
Liana's AOR list slightly redeemed by This Girl's in love with you. But you'll have to glare at me as well as Richard on some of those picks.
*finds the mere act of composing "Soothing Poem about Small Bird" so Soothing that loses any will to squabble*
Everyone is lovely, I want to flip through Stormy's record collection, perhaps happening upon a slightly scratched and well-played vinyl of "I've been leaving Durham Town' by Roger Whittaker. All is well with the world.
Ship poems about Small Birds out into the troubled places of the world, I say.
And another thing, how come it's alright for a black person to use the word 'nigger' but if a white person uses it it's racist?
'Oh no Mr. Robertson, you can't have a gollywog on your jam jar! It simply won't do, you'll offend all the black people not to mention the politically motivated thought police!'
'Oh that's OK Mr. Sifre, you can call your book 'Nigger' , or 'Spade' or even 'Black Bastard' if you like! It's ok because you're a BLACK MAN, but god help any white man that wants to do it!'
Andrew GRRRRR l know l know
Its like you said earlier, some things are fave because of the memories that they have. A lot of those are as a result of my dad playing music constantly; whilst driving, during those 70's house parties they all had, and on Saturday afternoons in the garden.....
And anyway, More than a Feeling is still a great record to drive fast to, on a summers day.
*refusing to be sorry*
the more I read the more I bleed
I forgot The Last Supper from JCS
and Somewhere over the Rainbow. That has to be there!
the street where you live?
it goes on, multiplying like rabbits, cross fertilising like a compuer virus
