No, not best friends forever. Ben Folds Five.
My husband LOVES Ben Folds. In his teens he met Ben because he played in a BFF tribute band. Seriously. It wasn't soon after we had started dating that I knew most of their songs, and Ben's solo stuff off by heart (including the B sides) even though I was never really into them before.
So tomorrow when Ben's new cd is released we will be marching into HMV and listening to it on repeat for a while. In the apartment, in the car, in our dreams, and so on...
Needless to say, if Mark was abandoned on a desert island (you know I'd find you somehow!) he would HAVE to have BFF in his limited cd collection there. Yeah, he WOULD build a cd player out of bamboo
-if the man can do cryptic crosswords than he can do anything!
Soooo I was thinking about what cds I would want to be left with if I had the luxury of choosing.
Here is what I think so far in no particular order :
Switchfoot beautiful letdown
Cruel intentions soundtrack
Garden state soundtrack
jimmy eat world - Clarity, Futures, Bleed American, Chase this light, Static Prevails
Death Cab for Cutie- plans
Oasis- What's the story Morning Glory. do i still have a crush on these guys? er
delirious king of fools
Muse black holes and revelations
the last Ben Folds Five album: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
U2 war + The Joshua Tree
Bing Crosby Christmas favorites. do not mock me...
Phatfish - Heavenbound
The Salvator Darlings
Get cape, wear cape, fly
Massive Attack
and many many more...sigh.
My abductors would probably stop me there. Now onto movies...
OK, so one of my comments has been posted as a blog.
ReplyDeleteMy number one album of all time is Weezer's Blue Album, but I have lots in there. There'd have to be some Biffy Clyro, Radiohead and probably some NOFX too.
Could I live the rest of my life without listening to Pulp again? Probably not.
Hmmm. I'll have to have another think...
