More Music; Number 74

[incorrigible]

After a discussion with Mr Zee, Flasher, Scruff and Mel yesterday, it was decided that when we went home we'd all play No74 in our music collections

Quite proud of mine: Blind Faith (Baker/Winwood/Clapton/et al)

:wheredidIputthatguitarherosmily:

So what were yours, or did you forget

[CarZee]

errmm.. yes.. forgot..

still, I'll look tonight (unless by some freak of chance Mrs CarZee is reading and would like to tell me what the 74th CD on the shelves is, counting from top left )..

Blind Faith eh? quite in keeping with adjacent discussions

[GregE240]

Why 74th chaps ?

I'll have a look tonight - reckon it probably starts with H or J (so probably Herbie Hancock, Cypress Hill, or possibly JMJ)

Actually, it might already be in the car - bought Jakartta on Saturday - fantastic CD. Apart from dodgy cut of So Lonely on it.

[Mrs Carzee]

errmm.. yes.. forgot..

still, I'll look tonight (unless by some freak of chance Mrs CarZee is reading and would like to tell me what the 74th CD on the shelves is, counting from top left )..

Assuming that I count any double albums as 1 and ignore the fact that there is a massive gap on the top shelf where you haven't put your CD's away properly then the 74th CD is ....... :drumroll:

elbow - asleep in the back

Good stuff CarZee. I'm glad to see you still like decent music despite going Daaarn Saaaaarf

Picking randon numbers seems like a good way to listen to some of your more obscure stuff (no74 "B" so you can imagine the depths my collection goes down to)

So pick a number if you want....

Nice, so who's picking a number to listen to tonight ?

[CarZee]

your turn..

if the number exceeds my number of CDs, then I move to my vinyl.. that should give me a total of about 550 (maybe more..) if I get to the end I'll rollback to the start and carry on counting..

Please bear in mind that If you elect 779 for example, then we'll be taking it in shifts throughout the night counting through to that number..

So, how about modifying it by saying "12th from start of S" or something..

[incorrigible]

Or 74, from the other end

Will report back tommorow

[CarZee]

74th from the other end it is..

Oh and I have Elbow on MP3 here so I'm listening to that now

Its PWEI: wise up suckers

... yes I am bored enough to count CD's for you this morning, still waiting for the flipping delivery to turn up

[Size Nine Elm]

So, how about modifying it by saying "12th from start of S" or something...

Luckily, I'm not obsessionally organised, so nothing is in alphabetical/chronological order or anything.

I think I'll have to improvise, and do something like

"12th pile of CDs from the left on the desk, 6 down".

Oh look, Deep Purple

[incorrigible]

Just been home for lunch

74th from the right "The Stranglers - La Folie"

[smifffy]

74th on my Winamp playlist :

Beck - Novacane.

[GrahamJay]

Wow, 74th in my collection is The Eagles Greatest Hits, haven't listened to this for aaages!

I'm off to listen to Hotel California and Life in The Fast Lane!

Good game, good game!

Edited to say, dont make me count my MP3 playlist as I've got 540 of em, Listening to Led Zep at the moment!

A trip home at dinner for me tells me that the 74th in my collection is Witness: Under a Sun

74th from t'other end is The Strokes: Is this it? (The CD for which is actually in my Integrale in the middle of frigging Yorkshire )

Hey, Blind faith. Excellent choice. I love "Do what you like" when in the car with somebody who likes modern music. They always go

"What the ****! I don't get it"

Great fun!

[caro]

Hey, the PH jukebox! love it. Ok here goes, we're doing reverse 74 today, yeah?

in vinyl LPs, that's Piledriver - Status Quo
vinyl singles collection1 it's Ruby Tuesday - Melanie
vinyl singles collection2: It's My Party - Lesley Gore
CDs "reverse random access counting" (ie counts the piles which are out first, then back to the mix drawers, then back to the aphabetical drawers if necessary) Longpigs - The Sun Is Often Out.

[edited to consider removing explanation of reverse random access counting and decide what the hell, let 'em suffer ]

ps Blind Faith - respect.

[bob the planner]

Seeing that my collection is in random order, I could be anywhere in the alphabet, however No 74 is ...

JJ Cale #8

[edited to add - Now playing at a CD near me !]
