desert island discs
some years ago, in the book black
holes, baby universes, and other essays, stephen hawking got me
interested in the BBC program desert
island discs:
Desert Island Discs is one of Radio 4's most popular and enduring
programmes. Created by Roy Plomley in 1942, the format is simple: each week
a guest is invited by Sue Lawley to choose the eight records they would
take with them to a desert island.
you also get to chose a book and a luxury.
because i fully expect to not ever appear on the show, here's my list
of desert island discs:
- henrik
goreki's symphony number 3, the symphony of sorrowful songs. a moving,
deeply felt piece i think sweeps the range of human emotion.
- te
deum, by arvo part. beautiful, inspiring music well performed.
"It's what God listens to on his iPod" is how one person accurately described
it. hoy minimalism ...
- the buena
vista social club, a charming, warm collection of music.
- kind of
blue by mile davis, probably some of his best work in my opinion. his
own sound, great talent, the birth of a great period in music history.
- live
at future primative sound sessions, cut chemist and short kut to fulfil
my turntablism needs.
- andre
segovia and his spanish guitar.
- the
specials, some of the best two tone ska sound.
- the cure's
staring at the sea, some of their best singles.
book: nabokov's "lolita", translated into english.
luxury: a picture of beth.
