Swansea Independent Desert Island Discs 10:13 - Jul 23 with 9595 viewsEbo

Bit of fun.

*Sleepy Lagoon composed by Eric Coates fades out*

What 10 albums or singles would you hope to be stuck with until you got rescued?

In no order of preference:

Grand Prix - Teenage Fanclub
Ege Bamyasi - Can
#1 Record - Big Star
Figure 8 - Elliott Smith
Peng! Stereolab
After the goldrush - Neil Young
Sumday - Grandaddy
Illinois - Sufjan Stevens
Physical Graffiti - Led Zeppelin
Finger Style Guitar - Chet Atkins

I could go on but this is what I salvaged from the shipwreck.

Your go....

Jason Lytle stayed with you ?

What did you do on the Sumday tour for them Ebo?

And thanks for the Malojian tip. I've just quickly played some of their stuff for a few minutes on Spotify and they are very interesting, thanks.

Somebody on here put me on to Drugstore (maybe you?) and I've ended up getting all their albums since then.
Also, some years ago, a random music post on CCMB of all places introduced me to Marissa Nadler and she is great , in a chilled miserablist kind of way.


I was on the merch team on the Sumday Tour and yeah Jason stayed at mine with Stevie (Malojian). They stayed in Caernarfon the night before and in the morning Jason ran up and down Snowdon in 3hours 20mins. They drove down to Storey Arms where I met them and they followed me down to Pentyrch. After they followed me up to mine in Aberdare and stayed there before we left for Nottingham the next day.

Pentyrch gig was great. baby grand piano, lovely venue and Gruff, Cian (SFA) and Kliph from the Flaming Lips came. It was through Cian I found the venue for Jason and hopefully we will be bringing Malojian back there next year to tour the album he recorded with Jason.

I'm not being funny, but housing your favourite pub singer isn't particularly impressive is it. Most struggling musicians will happily save on hotel costs etc. as long as you're not a total fanboy about it 🤷‍♂️

Pub singer - dear god.....
He's sold millions more than your favourite Blaze whatsisname. Stop being a bellend, you are slowly turning into a nasty person.

He did a very small but busy tour playing some smaller venues then he normally plays. The only requirement was that the venue provided a piano. He needed to get out and play some music after a personal tragedy 3 years ago. It sold out and introduced to many people a guy who he just finished an album with.

Fanboy? Nah - an old friend in fact.

As for your list - I'd sooner jump in with the sharks. 'Best of the Beach Boys' - FFS take Pet Sounds or Smile instead - you'll thank me later.

What kind of loser goes back hours later to edit a post when a new insult pops into their head? My post must've stung

I couldn't give damn what anyone likes, it's all subjective, nobodies right or wrong. I just wanted to see if you'd get your little fangirl knickers in a twist again. Accomplished.

As for Beach Boys best of, I chose that for a very specific reason - not that I should justify sh*t to a muso wānker like you though

Being a muso snob doesn't quite meet my criteria for compassion, why would it?

Kids with autism who may want to follow the Swans, though? Absolutely. Only a cünt would begrudge them the opportunity. Hi Thrasher!

Never saw them live. Love their first four records (Cars, Candy-O, Panorama, and Shake It Up), but I always heard they were lifeless in person.

Why who buggered off, John? Seems you have your wires crossed somewhere, but nonetheless you're trying to take this into very personal territory here, the kind where someone less level headed than myself may look to cave your fücking skull in the next time they bumped into you.
