Holiday Music \o/

Spunj99 · 11 May 2006 at 19:59

Going on holiday for a week on Monday and naturally, i'm taking the Shuffle. But i need to decide what to put on, which will compliment uber relaxation and sunbathing perfectly.

At the moment, it's got the following albums on;

Arctic Monkeys (could delete)
Death Cab For Cutie - Plans (staying!)
Delays - You See Colours (hmm..not sure, could get rid)
Editors - The Back Room (might get rid)
Gnarls Barkley - St. Elsewhere (staying)
PANIC! At the Disco (probably get rid, it's not really *holiday* music is it)
Secret Machines - Ten Silver Drops (probably keep)
The Kooks (haha, yeah like i'm deleting that)
The Postal Service (ditto)
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World (will work well as sunbathing music methinks)
The Subways (hmm...not sure)

So what should stay and what should go in your opinion?

As it stands all that is leaving me with 350mb free. And i'm very tempted to take both CD's of Massive Attack - Collected on it, as i recon that'll be quality holiday tunes!

Any suggestions? Could go out and buy the album(s) tomorrow if it really takes my fancy.

Bit of Sigur Ros?

That's quite freaky actually, just stuck 'Takk' on Winamp. :eek:

It might have to sneak in there, yea.

Ska! Now thats an idea. Put a proper old ska tune on there. Music that was made for the sun Maybe a bit of Toots & The Maytals - Monkey Man.

Keep the Subways, just choose wisely which song. How about some Flaming Lips and some Belle & Sebastian?

Ben Folds - Jesusland would be cool too.

Flaming Lips...that might work.

Also thinking of being a bit cliche and slapping some Jack Johnson on there. At least that will please my sister when she decides to rob it!

Perhaps a couple of Less Than Jake tunes, yea.

Hmm.

As it stands, the playlist is;

Air - Talkie Walkie
Athlete - Tourist
Death Cab for Cutie - Plans
Delays
Editors (might get rid)
Gnarls Barkley
Massive Attack
Secret Machines
The Kooks
The Postal Service
The Shins
The Subways
Zero 7 - When It falls

MmHmm, just enough room for some Jack Johnson and Sigur Ros methinks? Perhaps getting rid of the Editors for some ska.

Keep 'em coming! :cool:

Edit: ooh yea, Lemon Jelly! Which album though? I've got Lost Horizons and '64-'95..

How about deleting any music by bands beginning with "The...". Almost invariably denotes a rubbish band.

Perhaps, then, you didn't actually read my list properly?

Replace Oh, Inverted World with Shutes Too Narrow?

You recon? Can't say i've listened to it a lot, but i do enjoy a tune or two when it pops up on shuffle.

Spunj99 · 12 May 2006 at 14:28

Okay, so it's the last playlist i posted plus

Sigur Ros - Takk
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

Perfect.

[stupid question]

How are you going to charge it?

[/stupid question]

Lose the arctic monkeys to be honet.

It's fully charged. Not sure why but a single charge seems to last for at least 18-19 hours of constant play. I had to leave it on for an entire day playing next to my computer to get it to run out.

That's more than enough for a week's holiday tunage. :eek:

And yea, Monkey's are gone. Swapped for Sigur Ros.
