MY CD PLAYLIST ...for being stranded on a desert island*...

The Who-Who's Next
my favorite album from my favorite rock n' roll band. If I was forced to pick a favorite, that is. You gotta love that cover, too!

Willie Nelson-20 Greatest Hits (and some that will be)
it makes me nostalgic because we used to listen to this in the car on trips to the lake when I was little. This, and Kenny Rogers, and Elvis-Aloha from Hawaii via Satellite! Hunka-hunka burnin' love! Also Kris Kristofferson ...and the Star is Born soundtrack with him and Barbra Streisand. She's annoying at times but that dorky soundtrack is like buttah. Like a big stick of buttah!

The Process- End Times
I love this band! Click their name to see my page of Process-worship!
They are from Ukiah which is in California and not too far from the lake where we would vacation (see above, or if you want to see the lake rent "Magic" a film with Anthony Hopkins, it's filmed there. The lake is called Blue Lake and is actually quite green, but I digress...) I love the Process because they are punk without having the snobby elitist punk attitude some punks have. And they kick ass. If you like punk rock find this CD- you will be very happy! It is really one of my very favorites.

Fleetwood Mac- The Dance
I used to hate Fleetwood Mac, now I dig 'em. Must be gettin' mellow in my old age. I don't usually care much for live albums either, but... I'm getting kinda goofy these days

The Damned-Eternally Damned
kind of a greatest hits type dealy, there. A nice meaty one with 20 songs! I was finally able to locate their CD, Strawberries, after much pissing and moaning on my part. Thank you, Mel, who emailed me with a tip- Netsounds- a UK-based website where you can locate hard-to-find music. I found the offical Damned site...more updates and stuff than on the link above.

Hole- Live Through This
a lot of people hate Courtney Love. Some believe crazy conspiracy theories about her. These people maybe have a screw loose somewhere. Or maybe I do. Anyhoo, this is what I would call a great PMS album. I liked Celebrity Skin too, so sue me. Additionally when I'm in an angry chick mood, I like to listen to Fiona Apple. Back off, all of ya!

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers-Greatest Hits
"yeah, man when I got that little girl standin' right by my side you know I can tell the whole wide world to shove it!" Good song, eh?

Misfits-Walk Among Us
My current favorite band. I love this album, how'd I ever get by without it? I sing along to this in the car every stinkin' day almost. Here's another Misfits site (albeit without Glenn Danzig... sing -along:"muh-thurrrr") there's a goofy video of "Monster Mash" on it! Kind of odd...

Creedence Clearwater Revival-Chronicle
so it's another greatest hits thing. Well see it's a desert island,.. While I'm at it let me just say Queen-greatest hits, Bowie-the Singles, and Ramones Mania, okey-doke? Hey I'm just an average gal not a critic trying to impress people. Throw me a frickin' bone here.

Social Distortion- Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell
in addition to being a great album, it was excellent when I was all sulky and moping about my ex-boyfriend. I'm totally through with that lame phase and still I dig this album a really lot. Another ex-boyfriend introduced album which stood the test of time is: The Pogues- Rum, Sodomy and the Lash. Lose the guy, keep the albums... not a bad deal all in all. "There's a glass of punch below your feet and an angel at your head"

Grease-and in a similar vein: The King and I, Kiss of the Spider Woman, and the Rocky Horror Picture Show -ya gotta have some show tunes to sing to. There are occasions when I turn into a show tunes fiend for no particular reason. I'm also subject to outbreaks of disco-nostalgia. Possibly I was a drag queen in a former life...

Cyndi Lauper- She's So Unusual
It's true- when the workin' day is done, girls just want to have fun. The woman who inspired me to chop up my Barbies' hair and color it with Magic Marker! She didn't get as much play as Madonna, but I love her, dammit!

Blur- Parklife
fuhgeddabout Girls and Boys and their later hit "woo-hoo" song. I love the laid-back songs and goofy songs on this album and I especially love to sing along in my corny fake British accent.

Toad the Wet Sprocket- Dulcinea
"Paul is makin' me nervous..." this is a super relaxin' poppy thang we used to listen to when I worked in a chain music/video store. I heard it so much that it grew on me like a mellow fungus. Plus I gotta give "props" to anyone whose band name is a Python reference.

*hopefully it's a desert island with a power supply...
