25.25 - The Beatles - With The Beatles (1963)

People?!?!

*looks at record collection. nods.*

Yep, it's there. No desert island, either, unless Inland Empire is a huge misnomer. 

 

[Yo Mama]

Okay, hear me out. This band made some great music until they went completely off the rails with their fourth album. Of course, doing so brought them commercial success. It also gave us one of the most putrid songs of the 80s (Everybody Have Fun Tonight).

26.06 To Live & Die in LA (soundtrack) - Wang Chung (1985)

Great movie with a great soundtrack. The album features one side of mostly new regular songs for the movie (though one track was plucked from an earlier album) and the second side is all instrumental/electronic original compositions that were part of the movie's scoring. 

Songs:

To Live and Die in L.A.

Wake Up, Stop Dreaming

Nice. I used to have this cassette. Loved the title song. Singing it in my head now. 

 

[rcam]

Picking probably their two most well known songs though the album as a whole is pretty solid.

Round 26) My Head Is an Animal - Of Monsters and Men - (2011)

Mountain Sound

Little Talks

Spotlight:

26.15 Howard Tate - Get It While You Can (1967)

Ain't Nobody Home

Get It While You Can

 

[PIK95]

If you push for it when the time comes I'll consider asking Karma Police to replace it on the play list with I Don't Trust Myself With Loving You. 

No, I'm not the man I used to be lately
See, you met me at an interesting time
And if my past is any sign of your future
You should be warned before I let you inside

Do that anyway imo.  It also leaves the other option open.  I will take that if it's there.

26.16 - Songs: Ohia/The Magnolia Electric Co. - The Magnolia Electric Co. (2003)

There's a lot of confusion about whether this record was the last record from Songs: Ohia or the first record from The Magnolia Electric Co., but whatever it was, RIP Jason Molina.  Such a sad figure.  My island is getting a bit dreary.

I've Been Riding With The Ghost

Ha, I was expecting this clip when i clicked on that.

I'm just picking records I like.  It's not the "40 greatest albums according to Tim" draft, ya know.

ps. I did want both of those PFunk albums you got.

 

[Raging weasel]

Thanks to Krista letting me know there was still a Beatles album left I have to take it.

The Beatles- Please,Please Me(1963)

I Saw Her Standing There

Love Me Do

The songs that kicked off Beatlemania

 

[Binky The Doormat]

PICK 26.20

STEVE MILLER BAND - BRAVE NEW WORLD

Songs

- Space Cowboy

- My Dark Hour

Similar to the "Singles" album I would have preferred to take for Squeeze ...the album to have for Steve Miller Band is "Anthology" ...a compilation of his better stuff up till '72.  But this album is a great representation of what Steve Miller was ...and what he meant to the early SF scene.  

I love this stuff and it was hard to pick just 2 songs.  I became very disappointed with most all of this stuff after that ...happy for him and his commercial success, but this is the very definition of "his early stuff was so much better/hipster doofus"

[Yo Mama]

Alright, time to grab something newer again. I was torn between two albums for this group, so I decided to go with the one that has my two favorite songs from them versus another album that is a little deeper in overall quality. Yo Mama welcomes Jack White to the island and selects:

26.22 - The Raconteurs - Broken Boy Soldiers (2006)

Going with my top two songs for the playlist, with Steady being one of my favorite songs for that year. 

Steady as She Goes

[Dr. Octopus]

Round 25 Harlem River Blues - Justin Townes Earle (2010)

I drafted this early in the Decade Desert Island Draft as it's a record that gets heavy play from me. The son of Southern Rock icon Steve Earle, Justin is a lot more introspective and crosses into blues and pop while drawing some country influence from his dad as well. This record is very NYC-centric in its theme and lyrics.

Harlem River Blues

Christ Church Woman

Round 26 Singles - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (1992)

This movie was decent, but paled in comparison to the excellent soundtrack which heavily features artists from the Seattle grunge scene as well as old-timer Seattle rockers Jimi and the Wilson sisters. 

Seasons - Chris Cornell

State of Love and Trust - Pearl Jam

Paul Westerberg has some great solo stuff on here too!

Skip me for the night. Got studyin' to do for tomorrow morning, would rather wait to get proper write-ups together instead of rushing it.

 

[mphtrilogy]

I need some CCR on the Island, went to my brothers 30th birthday party in Queens back in '85, he got Chronicle on CD, a bit of a music late bloomer,  I was 19 at the time, and I put it on to check it out and it blew me away hearing those songs for the first time.  If we were choosing greatest hits comps, that would be in my top 3 easy.

Movin' Wes - Part 1

I might as well start moving into some jazz as well.  Love Montgomery's innovative sound and style and really like this album for the extensive horns.
