who tries to look like Paul Weller too

than the Smiths.

we can just put it down to 'guilty pleasures'

Although the Jam were a fucking brilliant band a lot of the time.
And even some of the style councils songs arnt as bad as I though they were at the time.

Like I say Chris Packham is in the lead.

that he has stopped looking like Paul Weller & started looking like a member of every single fucking indie band in the world at the moment

if it wouldn't blow his cycling helmet off.

I thought it was a bit weird that only one of his musical choices was released after his 5th birthday. He's got similar musical taste to me and he's more than 10 years younger than me.

Out of curiosity, how old are you bornin69?

all men
hmmmmmm

for a change I make a normal disish post rather than a bizarre creaky post and this is what I get :(

I also did ask other people their opinion of what they thought were good desert island discs......

I was just stating my opinion, with reference to what I thought might be a bit of a demographic on this, an indie website.....I wasnt saying ot was the only opinion, otherwise why wouldnt I invite other suggestions? I was after any celeb that had a proper (rather than a MOR taste)

Just because no one has chosen to engage with my invite for other suggestions (rather than just fixating on paul weller becoming a bit naff now) is not snobbery on my behalf, it is probably perhaps because I misjudged and most people do not listen to desert island discs ever

but the musicians chosen do not scream rampant homophobic racist ablist mysogany to me.....apart from Morrisey

you're too easy, creaky

you didn't mean it ;)

I am far wilier that people think......sometimes.....at other times my niavity is astounding and genuine

Proper sideburns
Proper hydraulic disc brakes

nobody below the age of 50 anyway

Yet everyone knows the show and it does have an iconic name and concept. It really could / should be targeted at a different age range.

ruined by the fact that 99.9% of the music chosen is absolutely awful.

BBC2 after some 'Buzzcocks' style program. 'Desert Island Dicks', 1st episode - Richard Ashcroft.

Now that I'd have enjoyed listening to!

but in that case take it as an encouragement to listen to desert island discs.....its a recommendation. Radio 4 may be seemed to be aimed at people older than you, but a bit of it is actually quite good quality.

'Im sorry I havnt a clue' is still the most consistant good intelligently silly comedy, far more charming than NMTB or HIGNFY or MTW
(it has more of the charm of 'Would I lie to you' and '8 out 10 cats does countdown')

Take this as a 50+ old codger telling you kids to listen to R4 more.

Oh and Tom Jones' if only for Kirsty Young fawning over him like a giggly schoolgirl. She's great!

I think the sideburns are ok

I'm having a bit of a nightmare here.

One of his picks was the music from the Shipping Forceast (not the band, the actual shipping forecast). And a Joy Divison track, and some other shite.

by the old Aphex Twin

what a ledge

but the drummer out of Fall Out Boy has really good tastes

dunno why hes bothering with that American Psycho shite

i don't think she's been on desert island discs though

apart from Bowie obviously.

but FOB are amazing, it surprises me they've not been picked up by the Inverse Snobbery movement yet

Can't even remember what music they chose other than Inspiral Carpets, but their enthusiasm over their choices was so infectious

Kathy Burke's is brilliant - she's got great taste in music and she's dead nice and her luxury item is a life-size laminated photo of James Caan from Dragons' Den.

Morrissey's is great (if you like Morrissey)

Seems to have gone off the boil a bit recently, although the one with Bryan Stevenson was really good.

In terms of music, Colin Montgomerie probably has the best taste, he's one of us. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0094b3t

1) When asked what luxury she would take to her desert island, the actress and Sixties sex symbol Brigitte Bardot replied, in a thick French accent: “A peeniss.” Her host, Plomley, displaying commendable sang-froid replied: “Most interesting. Why, may I ask?” Bardot shrugged prettily and replied: “Because that is what ze world needs most – ’appiness.”

2) In 1989, Lawley interviewed Lady Diana Mosley. The widow of the fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley was reminiscing about her friend Hitler, whom she described as “fascinating”, when Lawley asked: “What about the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis?”

“Oh no, I don’t think it was as many as that. I know it was much, much less,” protested Lady Mosley.

After a long, chilly silence, Lawley said crisply: “Tell us about your fifth record, Lady Mosley.”

Great music choices - Joy Division, Sex Pistols, Missy Elliot, T Rex, Specials. I'd still like her even if she chose rubbish though.

she went up in my estimation after that. I realise that is pathetic, but if you don't like decent music you are a dick.

theyre fucking rubbish mate
