The Official B&C Desert Island VI NSW Memorial Running Diary Thread for the Cure

For my fifth listening extravaganza: Mr. V's list.

 

[phillyfan26]

I had 12 of the 30 tracks on his list going in.

I LOVED Mr. V's last list, and the only disappointing thing was its length, because that's how good the list was. Two hours of similar quality would be fantastic.

Five songs in, it is of a very high quality.

 

[phillyfan26]

Mr. V: This list is as good as any I've heard. Really well done.

For my fifth listening extravaganza: Mr. V's list.

Which are the other four you've listened to?

 

[phillyfan26]

I've listened to LemonMacPhisto's, Irishteen's, Gump's, LemonMelon's, and Mr. V's. Yours and AtomicBono's are my next two up. However, I'm going out of town for a week starting Monday, so there might be some delay.

 

[phanan]

Mine will be ready tonight.

 

[phanan]

Also, I'm wondering if this thread can be stickied as well...

Funny, I was just looking at the threads in this forum and wondering if this one should be sticked too...then I read your post.

I would THINK it could be...so......let's give it a try.

 

[phanan]

Thanks. It would only be until Desert Island VI is over anyway, and then we could just let it fall away into the abyss, so to speak.

 

[the tourist]

My opinion is that it should be sticky until the tournament ends.

Cool. I'll be really interested to hear your thoughts.

 

[the tourist]

So far I've only listened to 2. And I feel like I'm getting behind already!

 

[the tourist]

I will listen to Irishteen's today.

 

[Varitek]

Like syphilis.

there's a vaccination for that, you know. you really should get it taken care of before your nose falls off.

 

[gump]

Listening to bono_212's list now. Everything about it has been amazing so far! I'm on The Great Defector right now (what a great song!).

 

[gump]

I really like how you managed the transition into the downtempo section after Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

 

[bono_212]

Oh, hey Renato, you enjoying yourself there?

 

[phanan]

I know I said I'd have my playlist ready, but a migraine knocked me out of commission for a while. Hope to be able to send it out tonight.

 

[AtomicBono]

I totally forgot to post that I finished LMP's list days ago. Overall I give it 8/10, I didn't like the third part quite as much as the first two but it was still great. I think my favourite part of his list was the awesomeness of Elbow-->Spoon. Amazing run there.

I've been slacking on listening but I'm gonna try to knock these out while I'm studying...week before finals here

on Irishteen's now. cool first song and of course The Birth and Death of a Day is perfect epic Explosions

 

[AtomicBono]

flaming lips was cool, bloc party-->muse is awesome. two of my favourite bands

 

[AtomicBono]

I've never heard of this Gary Moore fellow, but methinks he might have listened to a bit o' Van Halen. Very rockin' guitar hero-y type stuff. I dig it.

 

[Irishteen]

He's been playing music longer than Van Halen

Glad you're enjoying it so far

 

[AtomicBono]

i didn't know the verve could rock out like that.

springsteen, eh. not crazy about this song. he's pretty hit or miss with me. i loved the song on pfan's list. this one could be about half as long.

 

[AtomicBono]

has he? awesome. I dig.

I like this Boomtown Rats song. It's a catchy little number.

 

[AtomicBono]

Diablo Rojo is fun. some really awesome guitarwork there, and you can dance to it! I like it a lot.

great choice with Bowie

 

[AtomicBono]

Mykonos is definitely my favourite Fleet Foxes song that I've heard so far.

ive never been much of an REM fan but that song was aight

Secret Machines are cool. this song is a little dull but it's nice to just chill out to, and the end was good.

excellent transition into the Arcade Fire <3

 

[AtomicBono]

joy division and the cure were decent, not favourite songs from either of those bands

Battles is wacky ... good transition into One Minute Warning, which is one of my favourite Passengers tracks. the end is

M.I.A.

AB, just wanted to say that I got caught up in a new job and finals. Hopefully I'll get back to listening to lists on Wednesday, starting with your

This isn't supposed to be finals week, but one of my profs gave a final a week early, and has a project due two days later . So, next week is my actual finals week, then the insanity ends.

I had NO idea Bjork was kind of weird
