"Texas Flood" Stevie Ray Vaughn

The Beatles recorded this first, the Stevie did a remake shortly before taking his eternal dirt nap.

 

[Purple Haze]

Dirt nap.

Why am I still laughing?

Sounds like a cool band name.

 

[miles]

Stevie's not laughing.

[Calamity Jane]

What is it with you people expecting me to narrow my obsessions down to a few pieces?

Let's see... i'm gonna pick more than 10 because I can!

The End of Silence -- Rollins
Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell -- Social Distortion
Green -- REM
The Soundtrack to the End of the World
Pull My Chain -- Toby Keith
Rites of Passage -- Indigo Girls
Judas Priest -- Turbo Lover
Soundtrack for O Brother Where Art Thou
Strait out of the Box -- George Strait (does a box set count as one cd?)
As much of Melissa's music as I could pirate onto a CD of my own.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I wouldn't need ten CD's. I'd be dead in about five minutes without my computer which is equipped with about 600 mp3s. No word processor, no Muffin. Studboy found that out last time he shanghied me on a camping trip sans laptop or other writing supplies.

 

[Starfish]

I hear that there are lots of things to do on a desert isle.

One of them is finding food to stay alive. I don't think those cd's are going to do anyone any good if you don't have any electricity.


Maybe if Muffin was with you, you could use her short circuting neurons to play about 10 minutes worth of tunes.


I know, I know... party pooper..

Call me what you will.

 

[KillerMuffin]

I think the assumption is that you have all the necessities of life and a CD player hooked up to the same generator the film crew is using.

When I can't write, I quit eating. Not on purpose either, I just do. Drives my people nuts.
