Have spent the best part of a week at the parents. To kill the boredom, android quench my love of music i brought a record player and the following albums:

Love - forever changes

The fall - grotesque

New York rolls - too much too soon

New order - power corruption & lies

Morrissey - bona drag

The white stripes - second John peel session

The stooges - fun house

Nirvana - live at Hollywood rock

The cramps - hot pearl broadcast

The smiths - lonely planet boys

Manics - everything must go

Elliot Smith - new moon

Pink Floyd - animals

Sex pistols - never mind the bollocks

Belle and Sebastian - tigermilk

So if you were going to be stranded, or stuck at parents,what five albums would you have to take with you?

I can't stop listening to early Elton albums right now. They're just incredible, the songwriting and his playing and voice. Pure magic.

In The Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel

Dolittle - Pixies

Ladies and Gentleman We're Floating in Space - Spiritualised

Meat is Murder - The Smiths

Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles (US Album version)
