| essential provisions | |||||||||||||||||||
| beyond cheating on yr rolls for skill, stamina and luck, we reckon these are the bare essentials a hardy traveller will need in the rpg that is life... | |||||||||||||||||||
| slint - spiderland - yeah, we know...but have you honestly ever heard such a beautiful thing? | |||||||||||||||||||
| "the corrupted tape that mat did for me" - contains their split with noothgrush (and indeed noothgrush's side also) plus various 7"s. if forced to seal up yr stereo with just one tape inside, this is the one. a simple cobalt depiction of the state of affairs. | |||||||||||||||||||
| pinback - pinback - when trapped on our imaginary desert island, we will need some pop to dance and sing to, but by jehovah, there's so many options.... this is the kind of choice that changes for me daily. Beach Boys - Pet Sounds? Yummy Fur - Nightclub? XTC - Black Sea? you can see the dilemma... but right now pinback are the kings of pop. | |||||||||||||||||||
| an as yet uncompiled tape from the archives of will oldham, smog, sophia, black heart procession, cat power and probably others. i guess this is cheating. | |||||||||||||||||||
| at this point i notice thats its turning into desert island discs, sooooo i'll redefine the list as a list of "important things that you should have in order that you can draw from them and be guided by them. its a solid base to stand on". hmm. |

| slint - above. eh | |||||||||||||||||||
| corrupted etc - also | |||||||||||||||||||
| aphex twin - selected ambient works II - ah, such sweet sound. words could not do it justice | |||||||||||||||||||
| the shaggs - philosophy of the world - when you first hear it, you laugh nervously; but after a while you are struck dumb by the beauty that humans can be capable of | |||||||||||||||||||
| bill hicks - every fucking album you can get - mr hicks knew the deal, and luckily for us he chose to share his insight and wisdom. in a moment of hyperbole i shall declare him to be the greatest human being of the 20th century. maybe of all time. some dick jokes were promised | |||||||||||||||||||
| fugazi - every fucking album you can get (on the moon) - every thing about this band is perfect; perfect expression of what could be good in humans. passion, joy, righteous anger, melancholy..you want it they got it. and you should get it. the prime model for people thniking of forming a band. | |||||||||||||||||||
