DON'T
TRY THIS AT HOME;

"The
ultimate music list for late night drinking"

By Scottish
Keith Stodart

I mentioned
in my first diary that after the wedding we had all went back to
Chris's house to continue our celebrations. Well I got an e-mail
from him this morning and I just gotta share some of it with you.
"I had
just spent nearly FOUR HOURS sitting at the kitchen table (admittedly
with a nice bottle of Valpolicella) trying to sort out the Sat.
mess, matching lp sleeves / white pokes / lyric sheets / cd covers
+ cds, plus removing finger/beer/wine stains (You should see the
Record Room Carpet! Cranberry Vodka makes some mess - think I spilled
most of it myself and ruined the covers of at least 6 classic Reggae
LPs which were sitting out on the floor).... Once I had finished,
I was astonished at the amount of stuff on the table (a foot high
pile of LPs / 12", 3 x 6" piles of CDs), so I then wrote
it all down. I'll list them all in a minute, but I must say it makes
for a spectacular night of entertainment after such a fantastic
wedding (free bar! no wonder I was such a mess!!!), only about 75%
of which I recall clearly and the rest either vaguely or have no
knowledge of at all...... Over 100 songs (Maybe more - 2 or more
from the same record? I'm just going to list the 'items' lying about
- even if you guesstimate at 4 minute a song, that's over SEVEN
HOURS of us carrying on after the wedding! My last recollection
was about 8 am....) "
