A song from an Oceania artist

Lust and loathing.

Fantastic song. Me like.

It’s highly confusing. I don’t think there’s one continent that doesn’t have a little bit of weird, gray area.

Except for maybe Antarctica!

Another great area is the Middle East. It’s not a continent, but I don’t think anyone picked an artist during Asia or Africa. (could be wrong, I just don’t remember.)

Here you go, it was a lovely song in multiple languages

I love sad music. Lil Bo Weep is one of my consistent favorites. She wrote a lot about loss and sorrow and longing. I imagine it was from her own bad experiences in life.

Day 17: If you were going to Antarctica and could only bring 10 songs with you, what would one of them be?

I've no idea what I'd do in Antarctica.. Don't think I'd survive there
Best take some precautions. This might come in handy, might not, better safe than sorry.

The Morse Code song

Have to keep warm down there....

The Doors: Light my fire

 

[lavendersilk]

I would need to dance a lot to stay warm. Rihanna's good for that.

Penguin Cafe - The Life Of An Emperor
From their album "Handfuls Of Night" about penguins and Antarctica, so I would have to take some of their work.
The far south is top of my "want to go" list. I'll be heading to the far north (hopefully) later in the year for more midnight sun

This probably isn't one of my top 10 favorite songs that I can't live without. Maybe not even top 100. But it feels very appropriate for Antarctica.
Also - what 1st Gen iPod are we taking with us that only holds 10 songs?
"Gimme Shelter" - The Rolling Stones

If you wanna get technical, you’ve got a record player and one single custom LP.

Be thankful I didn’t send you down there with a keychain of Hit Clips

Agreed. Dance party is essential.

Fantastic song. Me like.

Cheers. The Aussies have a great garage punk tradition. Love it.

 

[PearlyDewdrops]

One of ten songs for Antarctica would be Do Anything You Wanna Do by Eddie and the Hot Rods.
"Searching for adventure."

This was my top played song last year so it seems I’m going to need it on my rotation. Bryan Ferry being weird will distract me from the harsh environment too

Might as well speed up the whole “going insane” part of the journey.

This is not only a song about turning up the heat a little bit, but you can’t help but dance and warm up to this skinhead reggae tune.

This song personifies the skinhead, reggae style perfectly: nice syncopated, guitar, bass, and drums, super danceable beat and choppy, bubbly keyboards.

Roger Rivas is such a great keyboard player.

I don’t know if it’s one of my top 10 songs, but sure to make my stay in Antarctica a little bit warmer.

The Aggrolites - The Heat

If I’m stuck in the cold I’m gonna need a banger. And I may need something to turn me on too so this video will definitely suffice

I love this-- a desert continent disk rather than just an island. But something specific for Antarctica. Hmmm...I have a friend who lives there, part-time, working as a civilian contractor for the airport serving McMurdo Station. She has stories, mostly of heading out to where you can't see anyone else and just sitting. She isn't a superstitious person, or particularly fanciful, but she said she felt like the land just hated them. Not that it was desolate, or harsh, but undiluted hate. And she stopped going out.

So this strikes. I am a fan of John Carpenter's work, and he usually scores his own films, but for his masterpiece he enlisted Italian composer Ennio Morricone. And, as usually, Morricone exceed expectations. This is eerie, and perfect, and from Kelly's stories, carries the heartbeat of that desolate land. And the rage.

"Desolation (the theme from The Thing)," Ennio Morricone
