From Park Avenue to Podunk Road: tony stewart

Pretend this is in Hebrew, and kinda start at the end... I'll never get this formatting..

The story really starts at the end... but doesn't it always? As my memory both bursts with ideas and fades into fogs, I am blahging... maybe someday I'll remember where I was going with it. In the meantime.... sit back and enjoy.... and please keep your arms an legs in the cars at all times.

Oh... and please forgive the jiggy 'i"... it's not a typo really.... more of a result of the dog's unsuccessful attempt to leap over the keyboard. I have a very sensitive "i" (no comments yet please!)

Desert Island Disc - the one mix I could listen to forever (in no particular order)

Amoreena - Elton John (Tumbleweed Connection) - if I had a daughter (or even just a "girl" pet) that's what I would name her.
anything by the Who! (impossible to pick just one)
Bunkers - The Vapors (why is Turning Japonese the only song everyone knows?)
Celluloid Heroes - The Kinks (One for The Road) This version is the best musical intro ever!
Cruel to Be Kind - Nick Lowe
Driver 8 - R.E.M. (again, hard to pick just one R.E.M. song!)
Hand Me Downs - Indigo Girls (Nomads, Indians and Saints)
Haven't We Lost Enough? - CSN (a brilliant "sad song")
Let it Grow - Eric Clapton (I'd always dreamed that this would be my wedding dance song)
Look Back in Anger - David Bowie (Sound + Vision) - Every driving playlist should start with this song!)
Murder - David Gilmour (About Face)
Northern Star - Ollabelle (if you like Indigo Girls' Kid Fears, you'll love this song!)
One More Time - Joe Jackson (or I'm the Man)
Pleasant Valley Sunday - the Monkees (see top ten discs list)
So Slow the Rain - Dr. Robert (google this!)
Sultans of Swing - Dire Straits (it always sounds fresh and new)
Sweet Transvestite - Rocky Horror (oh, Tim Curry's voice......!!!)
Walls in Time (live) - Bob Mould (The Calm Before the Storm)

Top Ten Desert Island Albums (just in case a record player washed up with me!)

The Monkees - Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones
The Kinks - One for the Road
The Go Go's "Beauty and the Beat" (great to clean house to - or on a desert island, rake sand to?)
Rocky Horror (the movie soundtrack, of course)
Rachel Fuller (I'd have to just make a complete compilation of every singler ong - including her cover of "Blue")
R.E.M. - Murmur
Quadrophnia (duh)
Pink Floyd - The Wall (that was the first Compact Disc I bought!)
Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafitti
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (movie soundtrack again)
HAIR (the movie soundtrack)
Eric Clapton - both box sets, please
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
Bob Mould - Workbook (unless I can pick my "import" of Bob playing acoustic at McCabe's Guitar Shop in 1992)
Any Who album with Keith Moon
