Man I had a dreadful flight
John McCusker & Marie Fielding: Niel Gow’s Farewell To Whisky / The Poppy Leaf
Pink Floyd: Free Four
My Bloody Valentine: Blown A Wish
Chuck Berry: I’m Talking About You
Utah Phillips: Solidarity Forever
Tough choice, because while I like all five tracks, none of them are what I’d list among “favorites.” The Utah Phillips track ran a close second just because of the audience patter at the beginning.
Day off! And I loved it! I get 25 days holiday a year so I could feasibly take every Monday off from March to September. Factor in public holidays and I could maybe stretch this out another month. Tempting.
1. Kate Bush – Cloudbusting
2. The Hives – Supply and Demand
3. Talking Heads – Burning Down the House
4. Lynyrd Skynyrd – Sweet Home Alabama
5. New Order – True Faith
That was not an easy choice at all.
(The Radiohead?)
I worked it out. In 2012, with 25 days holiday, I could have every Monday off from March 5th to September 17th inclusive. That’s 29 days as there are four public holidays that fall on Monday’s during this period (Apr 9th, May 7th, Jun 4th and Aug 27th).
that would be sooooo awesome.
try it!
The Radiohead
the one and only!
We also get 25 holiday days a year, but I work in a school so I get eight solid weeks in the summer, plus all the vacation weeks during the year (autumn break, Christmas break, winter break, Easter break and various other holidays). I love my “job.”
1. Depeche Mode – Stripped
2. The Knife – Like a Pen
3. Fr/action – The Living and the Dead
4. A Flock of Seagulls – I Ran (So Far Away)
5. Van Halen – Jump
Wow, what are the odds that five out of 40,000 are totally synth driven? Higher than some based on my collection but that is still weird. Really good songs all of them if you like synth, but my heart is with Jump.
Just had to mention that the next song was Dinosaur Jr.
Kind of a weird shuffle:
1. “Gin Soaked Boy”, Tom Waits
2. “Fast Traveling”, Vassar Clements
3. short interview clip, Robyn Hitchcock (talking about his song “Then You’re Dust”)
4. “Lonely One in this Town”, The Mississippi Sheiks
5. “Syd Barrett Podcast”, Robyn Hitchcock
Track #5 is kind of a cheat as it’s 20 min. long and includes a bunch of songs and talking… I figure it makes up for track #3 which is only half a minute.
