Prosebox Corona Island Discs
I mean obviously: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8OyBtMPqpNY Because heck, it’s just so damn happy… and to be honest, whilst there’s been a lot of hand wringing from people I’d previously conside...
3am
The bastard cat is meowing at the top of her voice - I get up and check her food and water and discover the reason she is objecting so loudly is that AgentX is in the kitchen making himself a sna...
20 - how can it be 20?
Indie just told me that Ash’s debut album 1977 is 20 years old this week.... what?????? And then I thought about the year it came out and how much I played it until the tape went all wonky and...
Amy Winehouse
I really love Amy Winehouse. Here is a unique sound, an instrument which is a voice. I was watching the documentary this evening which I’d put off watching because it felt like a very scary sto...
GnR
I love Guns N Roses - all thru my teenage years they were the soundtrack to my life. I had a life size poster of Axl on my bedroom wall. My fish were called Axl and Duff. I had every album, ever...
Monday monday
So I’m not at yoga this morning - I’ve got loads of bitty bits to sort out this morning, mostly because one of VAs who does this annoying sort of stuff is on holiday… That and I’ve been really po...
Relationship songs
Self explanatory really… The Ex: Because this is one of the albums that was out around the time we broke up, and it sums up all the mixed up stuff that went thru my poor battered brain. Plus ...
Having a Madonna morning
How brilliant is she? I mean obviously not the guff she comes out with now, but over the years you have to hand it to her… I love all the 80s/90s stuff.
20 years...
Did you know that this summer marks 20 YEARS since Bon Jovi released These Days? They toured it round the world and played Northern Town at a scummy rundown record shop with a lunchtime appearan...
Few people I'd like to see before they die...
Because I've worked in the music industry, I generally have been quite spoiled in terms of the people I've seen perform. James Brown, Dylan, Cat Stevens, Oasis, Travis, Biffy Clyro, Annie Lennox...
Hedonistic music...
Okay there's quite a lot of this in my life because I spent rather a lot of my teenage years misbehaving... But actually most of my musical choices for this category will be quite middle of the r...
The best rockstar ever...
Everyone's been leaving notes on my choices, but nobody's shared their own... Feel free to join in! Okay, so this one is the most awe inspiring rockstar... The only person ever to have left me s...
A song which you got introduced by a Prosebox/Open Diary friend...
This is one I really love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=YEyJ7tNrcbg Introduced to me by an Open Diarist and who solved the problem of what to get AgentX for his b...
Protest songs
Okay as much as I wanted to post this one due to many teenage years with some random dreadlocked white guy plinking it on a beaten up guitar: Somehow being quite slow it was the one which ever...
Best music use in a film
Okay I have two for this... and one is slightly cheating because I put the music in the film!!! So first one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sSJ0isLg2vw I love th...
a song which reminds you of your hometown...
Okay this is a fairly obscure one - it's a song from my uni days which was relentlessly played in our fave nightclub... The club was one of those places where you'd walk in on a Friday night and ...
A song from the biggest party of your life
Okay - there have been many very massive parties in my life but it's actually rather unusual for me to remember any of them. There have been swanky corporate dos where they hired the Natural His...
Your Desert Island Discs moment
I had a silly idea in the car the other day whilst shuffling through my ipod which is full of really random stuff... It ranges from stuff I go running with, to things I use when I'm lecturing on ...
