Your 5 Most Cherished Items?

dazedcola · 10.29.2006, 12:07 PM

Now, really think about this, dont just write off the top of your head. By "Cherished" I mean if you had to sell everything you owned and could only keep 5 things what would they be?

for me its

1). Lee Ranaldo signed copy of Goo
2). my guitar and amp
3). my cd player
4). book- Our Band Could Be Your Life
5). DVD- Hendrix at Monterey

HaydenAsche · 10.29.2006, 12:08 PM

1) My bag with tobacco and shit in it.
2) My Xiu Xiu records
3) My blazers
4) My drum machine
5) My computers

screamingskull · 10.29.2006, 12:12 PM

1) My records and cd's (all of them)
2) My Digital camera
3) My wardrobe (its an antique mahogony art deco wardrobe)
4) My apple mac computer
5) My Ipod

k-krack · 10.29.2006, 12:13 PM

1) guitar+amp
2) record collection... too wide? Fuck you. (Oh, and the things to play them on, cd/record/tape)
3) drumset
4) computer/internet
5) my small library

Hip Priest · 10.29.2006, 12:14 PM

1. 'Oliver Cromwell; A History' by Samuel Harden Church (1899, hand-numbered edition of 600 copies)

2. My Victorinox Swiss Army Knife. The most useful thing ever, especially the phillips-head screwdriver and the magnifying glass.

3. My 'Roberts R862' World Band Radio. Very small, very good and very reliable.

4. Can I choose my whole collection of commemorative medals? If not, I'll just have the 1914 one commemorating the visit of King George V to Birkenhead, because it has an engraving of Bidston Windmill on the reverse side.

5. Late 19th century print of The Falcon Inn in Chester. A really nice victorian engraving of a really nice place.

I'm assuming I get to keep my house anyway. If not, then I'll sell the print instead.

Cantankerous · 10.29.2006, 12:16 PM

- rickenbacker/amp
- records
- clothes/shoes (i can always buy new underwear but i have a lot of clothes that are irreplaceable)
- camera/negatives
- stereo

ni'k · 10.29.2006, 12:20 PM

1. my laptop (got about 30 gigs of music and shit on it, plus nearly all my poetry, photos and writings)

2. my sony handycam digital video camera - cost me 300quid and i've barely used it yet! need it for all the films and music videos i will make in the future.

3. my record and cd collection - obviously

4. my red/white/black tartan hoodie, i got it in prague for 50p, it is the best piece of clothing i ever have or will own. i choose it as no.4 cos i dont think there would be any chance of me ever finding anything like it again

5. my smoke box - old converse box i re-painted and re-designed into this black and white trashed looking old collage of vintage adds from newspapers, it contains my tobacco and any drugs i might have at the time, also all my fancy skins and filters and pipes and such forth - and i would defintily need this shit if i were to loose all my posessions bar 5. i'd also sneak my copy of Le Weekend on DVD by Jean Luc Goddard inside this box.

Phlegmscope · 10.29.2006, 01:17 PM

1. My records (I count them as one item)
2. My computer (as of late, I've started to hate it more and more, and I know listing it here is lame, but I need it for schoolwork and there's some out of print music, which I don't want to seek with p2p again.)
3. My turntable (old and probably crappy, but I can't afford a new one)
4. ehhm...
5. uhh...

Other than the stuff mentioned, I only have dull, mandatory things that are replaceable.

You don't have a guitar to use your pedals with.
DUH.

static-harmony · 10.29.2006, 03:42 PM

My guitar and all the pedals
My ipod
my car
my shoes
and my clothes.

Phlegmscope · 10.29.2006, 03:46 PM

It beats me how some of you seem to appreciate the mp3 collection on your harddrive more than your actual album collection...
I guess if it's purchased mp3s, then maybe, but I'm still it beats me.

Anngella · 10.29.2006, 04:05 PM

1. CD's
2. Digital Camera (although once I get a new one it will move up to #1)
3. Computer
4. Vibrator (that is, if it wasn't broken)
5. Various clothes (Sonic Youth shirt I got from the show + my old ripped up Vans, to name a few)

Trasher02 · 10.29.2006, 04:17 PM

Hah! Vibrator...

atari 2600 · 10.29.2006, 05:52 PM

I'll fudge as well and give "umbrella" answers

music collection (cds, albums & cassettes)
books (incl. Wm. Gibson signed Virtual Light & first edition Lysistrata with Picasso illustrations)
guitars, amp, etc.

I've already lost my most cherished items: my drawings and paintings...and before that, my sculptures.
