Surprised thus hasn’t been done before!!

As per the BBC Radio 4 thing, pick 8 songs, a book and a luxury item that you would want to have if you were to be stranded on a desert island.

Without putting too much thought into it, mine would be

AC/DC - For Those About To Rock
Alice In Chains - Man In The Box
Boomtown Rats - I Don’t Like Mondays
Faith No More - Midlife Crisis
Therapy? - Turn
Anthrax - Only
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now
Pearl Jam - Rearviewmirror

Book - Mr Nice

Luxury Item - Fishing gear

The deal is you can only pick 8 songs? I always presumed you got to pick a few full albums. What a swizz. I’m not going to the bloody desert island then!

So that’s why “House of the Rising Sun” sounds so crap!

I’ve noticed over time that you and I have a similar great taste in music. Love 3CR, gutted that it all ended and Keith passed away. Still holding out hope that Bassknives will do something but that doesnt seem likely, their myspace page has kind of become stale.

Funny you should say that, I was just looking for Basskniv3s news. I have their “Come on You Motherfuckers” EP, which was pretty good and I’ve been waiting for the full album for… 3 years or something? I can’t find any active website/MySpace/Facebook page for them…

Funnily enough also, I put on Union Of Souls the other day as I was a huge 3CR fan. It made me think Why did I ever listen to this shit??

I saw chris mccormack wandering around sonisphere with his daughter…or it could have been a young looking wife, couldn’t tell!
