irie! irie! top 25 island discs

If I had three wishes bequeathed to me
Don't know exactly what they would be
I don't want no responsibilities
Just give me a hammock, a hammer
and a coconut tree

"Three Wishes" by Big Rude Jake
Butane Fumes & Bad Cologne, 1994

I had a fucking grand ole time at Peter and DK's place this NYE. The place was jam-packed with cool peeps - familiar faces and some new folks too. Great music, great food and a healthy(?) variety of grog, party favours. Thanks allot guys!

We missed Sombu, Stinky and Sandy, Blender and Tony but the rest of our stalwart crew made for a splendiferous event. The "evening" ended around 8-9am or thereabouts, so I guess we got a good jump on the new year.

There was plenty of chin-wagging about spending next Xmas in a slightly warmer, drier clime and that got me thinkin' about music. Yeah, you're probably right. Everything reminds me of music and vica versa. My name is Wig, I am a music junkie and I make no apologies for what might only be described as a lifelong addiction. Amongst others...

Anyway, here's my deserted island disc list cribbed from the deepest, darkest confines of my addled brain. I invite you to submit your own Top 25 list but don't spend allot of time dwelling on your picks... 20 minutes, tops. Chop chop!


Wiggy's Top 25* Deserted Island Discs

Aerosmith - Rocks
Art Bergmann - What Fresh Hell Is This?
Blue Rodeo - 5 Days In July
Bob Marley - Legend
Buju Banton - Inna Heights
Chet Baker - In Paris: Barclay Sessions 1955-1956
Elton John - Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy
Elvis Costello - Blood & Chocolate
Fishbone - Truth and Soul
Hawksley Workman - Lover/Fighter
Jr. Gone Wild - Too Dumb To Quit
Kathleen Edwards - Failer
Lucinda Williams - Lucinda Williams
Lyle Lovett - Lyle Lovett and His Large Band
Marvin Gaye - What's Going On
Nirvana - Nevermind
Paul Westerberg - 14 Songs
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Mother's Milk
Rolling Stones - Some Girls
Rufus Wainwright - Poses
Ryan Adams - Gold
Sloan - One Chord to Another
Steve Earle - I Feel Alright
Sublime - 40 Oz. to Freedom
The Clash - London Calling
The Cure - Boys Don't Cry
The Lowest of The Low - Shakespeare My Butt
The Pogues - If I Should Fall From Grace With God
The Pogues - Rum Sodomy & the Lash
Wilco - Being There

One recording per artiste. Double albums are ok. No box sets or "greatest shits" though. Yes, I pray I am marooned with someone who brought a copy of Rum Sodomy & The Lash.

The "winner" gets to share a hammock and a solar-powered CD/MP3 player with yours truly for the duration. Unless of course, I have to eat you at some juncture. ; - )

Cheers!

Wicked!

Thanks allot, Kimberly. The real bonus of this *exercise* is to provide a golden opportunity to find out what music my mates REALLY like and then go track down some mp3s/discs.

There's definitely room in my hammock for KM - don't tell Buffalo Tim though. ; - )

Recognizing that this is a snapshot in time and with the next purchase it could change...everything is impermanent, including a Top 25 List! As a matter of fact, just committing it to well, a screen, I want to change it and I think...no, that's not what I want on a desert island...what I'd really like is a well built companion who can machete a coconut and spear some fish and keep me warm at night! And hold the occasional conversation on the meaning of life and the best materials to build a raft with.

Nebraska - Bruce Springsteen
Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
Black Eyed Man - Cowboy Junkies
Step Inside This House - Lyle Lovett
Essence - Lucinda Williams
Lost Together - Blue Rodeo
Soul Journey - Gillian Welch
Shady Grove - Jerry Garcia and David Gisman
German Afternoons - John Prine
Joshua Tree - U2
Real World - Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
Feast of Wine - Calexico
The Koln Concert- Keith Jarrett
Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis
Modern Cool - Patricia Barber
What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
Calle 54
Grandes Exitos de - Juan Luis Guerra
Goldberg Variations - Glenn Gould
The Future - Leonard Cohen

And for lack of 5 more choices something by Neil Young in his Crazy Horse Days, a 60's compilation of Motown tunes cuz a girl's gotta dance, early Elton John...the album with Tiny Dancer, it's got a blue cover (can't remember the title), and something a bit headbangerish and there are a few single songs I'd like but not the whole album like Four Non Blondes "Hey What's Goin On"

04. Elton John — Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy

* Okay, Shaved Fish is a greatest hits package. But it's not called that, so ...? I'll switch to Mind Games if I have to. And Concert for Bangladesh has other artists involved but it's the only one that has Harrison's best Beatles and solo tracks that isn't a greatest shits. If these don't count, I suppose I just have to switch to the White album or something. Jesus.

PIL and Stacey Earle? Well how 'bout them biscuits? Now that's what I call "big ears" and an open mind!

Thx muchly for your picks, Lynn. I've been meaning to give Joel Plaskett a fair shake for quite some time now and here's my reminder to do just that. Great live show as I recall. Plaskett has a blog too btw:

http://www.joelplaskett.com

I was just listening to The Nihilist Spasm Band, so I guess it's high time I head in an altogether different direction. And since you're the 100th person in Vancouver to tout Dan Bejar/Destroyer's Thief CD, I reckon I ought to give that disc a whirl.

Thx again - you're no pussy.

Welly welly welly... thanks to you, Ms. Doyle! I can tell you are a sensitive soul who loves to rawk too. I must investigate this Tegan and Sara phenom, as too many cool peeps have expressed adoration for their esoteric folk-rock tunes and confident 'tude. I don't get it but maybe I'm not listening close enough to feel the magic. I'm gonna try though...

I would love to see Hawksley Workman and Sarah Slean share a bill/stage someday soon. They seem like musical soul mates to me. A natural pairing as they both demonstrate a theatrical flair for storytelling in song and verse. Poetry in motion.

I would love to help you out, but fear I cannot. It would look something like this: soca, soca, soca, soca, reggae, reggae, reggae topped off with Hip, Odds, Neil Young, Clapton, Grateful Dead, Eagles, Little Feet,
Santana, some Latin, soca, soca and more soca.
Yup, I'm a loser.... but I am going to Trinidad

Island Diva, I loves ya. And I love it that you reminded me that you love the Odds - Vancouver's best pop band ever, bar none (RIP).

Although known primarily as a premier Caribbean music hound, Katie's musical taste extends to bluegrass and old school rock and roll. She even plays the banjo fer chrissakes! Actually, Katie tunes the banjo more than she plays it but any chick that owns a banjo is fine by me.

Diva, you are so fine. Have a blast in Trinidad at month end but please be safe. I wish I was going with you... again. : - )

YOU are the Captain Fantastic!

Thx so much, Christopher Robin. That's a mighty fine list o' music. When I see discs like XTC (whom I adore btw) and The Beat (ska rules!) I can see you're a man of my generation. Q. Why did you choose 'All Quiet On The Inner City Front' for your Bruce pick?

There's plenty of contemporary tunage too and I am pleased to see the likes of Evanescence and Snoop. One of my CanWest colleagues is a mad, hardcore fan of Amy Lee and I think I'm gonna pick-up the Anywhere But Home (w/ bonus DVD) - "Essentially a live showcase for their mega-selling breakthrough Fallen, this CD/DVD combo set chronicles Evanescence in peak form during a subsequent tour stop in Paris." Sounds like a good deal, eh?

There is much to discover about you, kind sir and I plan to corner you at the Conspiracy AGM on Saturday night. Cheers to you and thx again. : - )

Hey there!
I have to say to Chris.... Jaluka! Awesome! I haven't heard that band in years. My fav is :"Sitting on the top of Kilimanjaro". Growing up in northern ontario with no tv and barely any CBC transmission, aftr two years of silence we got a tape recorder. After one year Of Mick Jagger -She's the Boss (Which I can never hear aain but I can probably sing from start to finish) and David Bowie - Changesbowie (see above in my list of favourites), we got Jaluka... and Dr. Hook and the medicine men. But Jaluka both made me dream of distant lands and kept me from the insanity of listening to the same albums for another year running.
So good one

MM's '10 Speed' was/is a really good disc too. I wanna hang wi chu on your tropical retreat any Saturday night, young blood - for true. Thx for taking the time to share, Bruce. I'm gonna have alloto' fun compiling your wiggy disc. And I promise, there's going to be plenty of CanCon rawk to make those palm trees shiver and shake.

Now get busy with your missus - I mean, encourage to share her musical tastes too, k?

Cheers!
