…according to the Daily Heil. Nothing to do with the fact Nige doesn’t listen to music, watch TV or read.
He clearly needs someone else to make his choices for him and who better than The Afterword?

Something for everybody, 8 songs, 1 book, 1 luxury – rules are:
1. Songs/tracks should be: (i) from early childhood (ii) first favourite of pre-teen youth (iii) favourite of teenage years (iv) best experienced live (v) best from when you fell in love (vi) best coz it’s really meaningful (vii) best you like now you never would have liked when younger (viii) the one you keep when the waves wash all the others away
2. A sentence or more to explain your book and luxury choice
3. Don’t think too long about it. You won’t be held to account in years to come when someone does a similar thread and your choices have changed
4. Don’t do it at all if you don’t want to. It’s just a bit of fun.
5. Oh, and ignore all the above rules if you want to do it differently, including the song choices
6. Finally, ignore rule number 5.
Confused? I know I am

Nile’s done a bit of an Englebert on DID – half of his selections were his own creations.
Professional pride, or big-head?

Worth 40 minutes of your time, both as he’s quite interesting on Obama’s charisma and appeal and has great taste in music, together with some nice stories behind his choices. Suffice it to say Galaxie 500 returns a ‘diddywhack’ from their archive, not having featured before. He’s the current US Ambassdor to the UK so yes, he coasts through DID like a pro.

Yes, yes I know not normally a thread title to set pulses racing and hearts aflutter.
That said, as music is one of the main features of this site it is worth mentioning that it was announced at the end of today’s edition that next week’s guest will be none other than Berry Gordy.
Message ends.
