There\u2019s a BBC show called Desert Island Discs, they\u2019re archived from as far back as the 50s, now it\u2019s a podcast and a very amazing collection of people from all walks of life, what music they would take if trapped on an island. In a recent post by Bob Lefsetz he said when people talk about desert islands, it\u2019s never what film would you take, it\u2019s what music. I have no idea how people make lists like that. Reminds me when in interviews people ask what I\u2019m listening to nowadays which feels weird because things that blew me away at different times of life, retain that power. Leonard\u2019s Tower of Song or Earth Wind and Fire\u2019s Serpentine Fire or Lena Lovich\u2019s Lucky Number never became less interesting over time and yet when I\u2019m asked that question it feels less about what continually blows me away and more about how much do you know about what\u2019s current? I haven\u2019t felt like I understood what\u2019s current since forever. Maybe a better way would be citing whoever I\u2019m producing since they blow me away, that\u2019s why we\u2019re in the studio. Then I wonder about the most detested music for the island because hearing what one hates might be the best impetus for achieving the necessary energy behind escaping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
