While the Angels are enjoying a relaxing day off in Sunny Southern California (as the Oakland Athletics cram onto a plane to fly all the way across the country to Tampa and deal with the unbearable mugginess of the humidity), here is the TOPIC OF THE DAY:
You are on a desert Island with 2 CDs and 2 DVDs - name your two favorite albums and your two favorite movies.
0 recs | 208 comments
I will go first
Bob Dylan - Blood on the TracksJoy Division - Unknown Pleasure
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Big Lebowski
Rev Halofan - September 7, 2006
The Dude Abides
If I could have ten movies, The Big Lebowski would certainly be one of them, but not in my top two. Then again, it has some cool music in it, too, so it's almost like getting another album.Good call for Blood on the Tracks, although my Dylan selection would probably be Blonde on Blonde.
jjackflash - September 7, 2006
Two of those choices
are great. I've haven't heard "Unknown Pleasure" so can't connect there. The "Dude" is classic but don't think it would make my top 2.Jack Frost - September 8, 2006
On "Cuckoo's Nest"
Kesey's novel is one of my all-time favs and the film was for many years the unquestionalble #1. Strangely, it has lost a little lustre for me over the years. I will say however, that it has what is perhaps the best climactic scene in a move EVER (when Chief "busts out").I met Milos Forman at "The Three Ostriches" restaurant in Prague in the Summer of 1990. It was great -- he laughed when I mentioned "Loves of a Blond."
Jack Frost - September 8, 2006
i will go second
Sex Pistols - Never Mind the BollocksU2 - The Unforgettable Fire
Blazing Saddles
This Is Spinal Tap
yeswecan - September 7, 2006

I don't think I could pick a "Top 2"
all time favorite movies. But "Spinal Tap" would very likely be in my Top 5 and definitely in my Top 10.Jack Frost - September 8, 2006

Animal Chin...nice
Though if I were taking a skate video I'd take Blind's Video Days. Gonz, Jason Lee... and Guy Mariano is my heroHigz - September 7, 2006
Video Days all time.......
Plan B's- Questionable video and The New Deal's-Useless Wooden Toys had the biggest impact on me aside from all the first bones brigade vids. But good call on Video Days.AlohaHalofan - September 7, 2006
those are good for sure
remember Hocus Pocus? awesome video. Second Hand Smoke as well.I liked Speed Freaks (Santa Cruz) but mostly for the music (remember all those SST bands that would always be in skate videos?)
Higz - September 7, 2006
Me and my buddies
used to watch all those skate videos.80's punk rock was neat-o.
Tits!
cupie - September 7, 2006
if it wasn't for those videos
I'd probably still be listening to Duran Duranand I would have no idea who J. Mascis is either
Higz - September 7, 2006
I don't man
I like DD better than Masics.We'll call it a wash.:0
cupie - September 7, 2006
ha, cool
I just realized I haven't gotten shit done at work today because of all this talk about music. I guess I like music more than baseball.Higz - September 7, 2006
Streets of Fire!!!
As far as I know it's the only skate video where the star gets sentenced to 'hang by his neck until death!'Skaters From Uranus from Life's a Beach is another classic.
Match Day 5 - September 8, 2006
Jason Jessee is the MAN
do you remember his mini ramp part in Speed Freaks? That was in my high school friend's backyard. Jessee is the shit.Higz - September 8, 2006
oh
nice fIREHOSE reference by the way. makes me think of Natas.Higz - September 8, 2006
Exactly.
Jessee's Neptune deck was my 1st skateboard. It's cracked down the center and the tail is only a memory but it still sits in the garage at my father's house right next to my first baseball glove. Man, I wish I was 14 again!Match Day 5 - September 8, 2006
You'd shit if you saw my vid collection......
I have everything you've named, and yeah.....The Santa Cruz vids had the some of the best music. Fire Hose playing to Natas's part.....sick.AlohaHalofan - September 8, 2006
funny
I just read this comment after I posted the above. great minds think alike.Higz - September 8, 2006
wow
thats really weird......How did you what I was going to say????? lol, right on man!AlohaHalofan - September 9, 2006
oop.........know.
AlohaHalofan - September 9, 2006
Sweeeet.
I still have a couple but between VCR meltdowns and about 400 viewings most have gone the way siderails and RipGrip: oblivian. I know Animal Chin was re-released in DVD with a bunch of extras; it'd be awesome if they put out some of the other stuff to. If it wasn't for us, extreme sports would still be a novelty and Warrant, Winger and Nelson would still be on the charts!Match Day 5 - September 8, 2006
You can get most
anything you really want on dvd now....They remake every old skool vid now ever since the Dogtown Z-boys documentary came out. Theres been a real resurging interest in the "old skool" stuff in skateboarding and it brings back great memories for me. The music and skating from back then is the best.....Check out any REAL skateshop and not some fucking corpo sportmart and you probably find whatever you're looking for. If not they'll order it for you. They're well worth it ....
AlohaHalofan - September 8, 2006
This might be my best chance
at convincing my kid that I wasn't always a dork!Match Day 5 - September 9, 2006

Cupie thought I was LAME. I said LAME as in RAD. Ladybug declared LAME is the new RAD and thus it is.Anaheim of Anaheim - September 7, 2006
oh no no no
I didn't declare it, the author himself did. do a search on "lame" and you will find it. I just keep the torch lit.ladybug - September 7, 2006

he's right though
its two dvds, not box setsrjcicc - September 7, 2006
Yeah, if the rule said box sets
I would take the advice that Rubixs has been giving me for too long and claim the complete sets of the first 7 seasons of The Simpsons.Stirrups - September 7, 2006
lmao....if the rule says
forgot how ANAL this bunch is & that world peace is dependent upon a SINGLE DVD...then I'll go with The Meaning of Life and Like Water.As far as box sets go, I have the Complete Rocky & Bullwinkle series on DVD!
ladybug - September 7, 2006
Is it just R&B,
or are the short features also included?Stirrups - September 7, 2006
it's everything
4 discs, 26 episodes which I believe is all of the showsladybug - September 7, 2006
OMG!!! CULTURE ALERT!!!
You've got all the Fractured Fairy Tales!!! I need to hook you up with Rubix so that I can get my hands on these pronto! Everything important I ever needed to know.Stirrups - September 7, 2006

hmmmm
a ride in the halomobile, a beer while you copy them all, yup, you gotta deal. Actually, I will see if the hubs has any more blank DVD's and I will copy them for you. BUT, fish tacos and beer sounds realllll good!!ladybug - September 7, 2006
question:
ALL YOU CAN TAKE is two cd's and two movies???....what good would they be???? didn't say anything about a cd player nor did he say anything about a tv/dvd...or is it implied that there is equipment floating around in a crate and just happens to washed up on your desert island?????? AND if that be the case, where would you plug it in???? the nearest coconut tree??? i would rather have a case of pina-coladas, a good book and a deck of cards....and maybe sean connery could drop by in a raft and........well most of you are too young to hear the rest...lolangelsrallymom - September 7, 2006
Awww, mom. We solved this already.
Search the island until you find Gilligan. Follow Gilligan to the Professor. Kidnap the professor. The professor builds you everything you need out of coconuts and bamboo.By the time 007 shows up, your side of the island should be pretty sweet.
Stirrups - September 7, 2006
well just got
home from work, forgot no game... :( and decided to throw in my 2 cents....but i guess if he could make a radio out of coconuts, palm leaves, shells and anything he found in lovey howell's trunk which for some reason she had along for a 3hr tour...oh yeah..they did have electricity from somebody pedaling the bicycle....i think i would rather look for macgiverangelsrallymom - September 7, 2006

Besides, whether anyone likes Bossa Nova or not, you get to hear it at every Angels game as whoever is running the sound system/organ plays nothing but Bossa Nova. Whoever he or she is they are huge Walter Wanderley fans.Tchau.

The Angels dumped their organist after 2004 - it is all on CD - the # of times the singer of the National Anthem / 7th Inning Stretch gets ahead or behind the recording= 50% of the time.Rev Halofan - September 7, 2006
are you sure?
not all of those teenage girls can sing those songs in the same key (especially the nat'l anthem). if the anthem and stretch are indeed on CD, then they must have a different recording for each key.yeswecan - September 7, 2006
do you guys
remember when hud's daughter sang the national anthem???? this was last year... she was very good....angelsrallymom - September 7, 2006
that is a dream of mine
but because i'm not a teenage girl, there's not much chance i'll ever get to sing it. but here's the case i will present to angels management:- I am a lifelong Angels fan, so I want to honor my favorite team
- I am a professional singer, so I want to honor my country
- I am a descendant of Francis Scott Key, so I want to honor my ancestor
- My version of the anthem is Panther
(ok maybe not #4)yeswecan - September 7, 2006

No Organist, What Happened to Traditional Baseball
That's too bad, they had me fooled. But I still dig the cheesy bossa nova they play. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the total baseball purest but it's nice to hear an organist between innings now and again instead of being bombarded with loud music and the announcer pounding us with promotions and scoreboard gimmicks. I guess somebody has to help pay the bills?At least we don't have a retractable roof on our house!! Now if we can only get the promotions department to do a tiki themed bar area along with other tiki/lounge/hawaiian themed goods and promos.
Rex DaKine Budler - September 7, 2006
All About the Tiki
A tiki bar - that might be just what they need to do to get me to buy season tickets!I firmly believe that the ONLY music that is played at baseball games should come from an organ. I can hear the pop music that they play by turning on the radio. I don't go to a baseball game to listen to music I could hear in my car.
But I CAN'T turn on the radio and hear live organ music played at a ballgame. It's uniquely a part of the ballpark experience.

My favorite Food Channel guy. That's a cool episode, too.You & Stirrups have the right ideas...something useful rather than something entertaining.

Tough Decisions
CDs:One problem I have is that most of my favorite albums are from the era of albums...you know, LPs, which are typically only 37-38 minutes long.
1. The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys - Traffic
For #2, it comes down to a hard choice between Blonde on Blonde (Dylan), Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out (Rolling Stones), and First Rays of the New Rising Sun (Jimi Hendrix), depending on my mood when I have to make the pick.
Right now, though, it goes to the Stones...literally the very first music I ever heard, as my parents played that album for me upon bringing me home from the hospital after my birth. A killer live set from Nov. 1969, at MSG. The dueling solos by Keith Richards and Mick Taylor on Sympathy for the Devil makes for probably the best guitar work they ever did.
The Movies:
1. The Narrow Margin (1952), starring Charles McGraw and Marie Windsor. How can you not pick a classic film noir with lines like this:
What about this dame, Mr. Crystal Ball?
- A dish.
What kind of a dish?
-Sixty-cent special: Cheap, flashy,
strictly poison under the gravy.
2. Cheech & Chong's Up In Smoke (1978).
Their first & best. Dazed & Confused is right up there for me (I went to high school with one of the actors in the film, so it's kinda cool seeing him play a high schooler), but the adventures of Pedro & Man are too much to resist.
jjackflash - September 7, 2006
I have to pick three for each
Albums:The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band
The Velvet Underground: (the Banana Album)
Radiohead: Hail to the Thief
Movies:

"Weakness In The Design"!I am NOT letting go of the FFT's!!!
Stirrups - September 7, 2006
Oh, I see
Thanks for that explanation, yeswecan.Well, I'm no fan of so-called Yacht Rock myself, but anyone who's actually listened to Pretzel Logic and thinks it's in the same class as Kenny Loggins' or Michael MacDonald's pabulum is not a terribly discerning listener.

i didn't make it up.but perhaps this might also help explain:

you can recognize that butt for a chin anywhere
ladybug - September 7, 2006
I don't blame you
I appreciate your wising me up.Okay, after watching that second link, I can see where Steely Dan's last few albums might make songs such as "Peg" yacht rock by association, but Pretzel Logic was three albums and four years before Aja, when they were still a real band and not a mere production entity. I challenge anyone here to listen to it, or any of their first four albums, and pronounce it insubstantial musically. It's far closer to Zappa than it is to Loggins.
rspencer - September 7, 2006
Right Right Right!
Lovie and I adore our Steely Dan when we are floating about on Newport Harbor. It is splended music indeed! Nothing goes better with a dry martini than a little Steely Dan.I'm quite certain Lovie would agree!

2002 World Series Highlights. Since I'm stuck on this island I might as well relive the magic moments of the World Series I was so fortuneate to attend.
Rex DaKine Budler - September 7, 2006
Hrm.
I love this desert island with it's "electricity for a DVD and CD player."CD's:
Weezer - Pinkerton
Sufjan Stevens - Come On, Feel The Illinoise!
Two perfect albums. They can cover a broad range of island-based emotions. Annoyance, boredom, loneliness, happiness over finding some sort of coconut shaped like a celebrity head.
DVD's:
The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
The Mr. Show Complete Collection
Humor and more humor. I need to laugh a lot when I'm by myself.
