 Topic: If you were stranded on an island
Posted: August 20 2014 at 01:16 |
Hey y'all  . I've got a question for you. If you were stranded on an island and you could only take one album with you which one would it be?

Oh poop, this is one of those really tough ones. Of course this presents philosophical problems such as: If you bring an album with you, how would you know you have something to play it on? Why would you want to get stranded in the first place? There's enough questions inherent to this to cause a mid-life existential crisis in any individual discounting middle-aged housewives which have been scientifically proven not to possess the capability to become stranded. On the off-chance they DO become stranded, however, they prove incapable of remaining stranded.
Furthermore, you gotta keep in mind that it's an album you either gotta be prepared to resent eventually 'cause of how much you've heard it over and over...or it's gonna be worn out...or it's gonna drive you out of your mind if you only have the album and nothing to play it on!
Jesus, be careful with threads like these. You are exposing forum denizens to risks of emotional trauma and potential madness.
Okay, Phaedra.

Doesn't matter. One album isn't enough.

This was not the intended idea. It was never intended to be logical or rational. All I meant to say was" if you could only take one album with you which one would it be?"

Worn Copy, by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti.
I always cite Can's Future Days as my favorite album, but I'd want something I could listen to every day. The Can album is more of a once a month album.

I doubt anyone can find that island. Sorry to dash your hopes, but you'd be there for the long haul.
