Wow. Already Wednesday again? Time flies when we’re forced to actually buckle down, work and study. Instead of piling. Which is totally what we do best. Speaking of which, we’re happy to introduce this week’s submission for Sitting Here in Limbo. Why are we so happy? Well, mainly because he’s all about Pyling. And Lists. Which are absolutely two of our favorite things in the world, if we didn’t mention that already. JP comes straight out of SoCal we believe, but on these internets he hails from Pyle of Lyst (we really could write the word “pile” in some form or another over and over again all day long) where they have recently added some new voices to an already stellar website (the banner of which we’re big fans. Don’t know why, but just love the old script thing.) Anywho, you can read his stuff here. Of course, if you’re really into getting inside his head about these albums, you can tune into the Brown Hour tomorrow night at 9 o’clock p.m. eastern when JP checks in with the brahs. But enough about us…enjoy his list after the jump(we’re assuming you know the rules by this point):

Making a list of 10 Desert Island CD’s will be a challenge for me. I’ve fully become a song to song kind of guy with my Ipod. I like to keep it random, so I rarely even listen to full albums anymore, which certainly puts me at a disadvantage. One thing I promise not to do is be pretentious with my choices. Far too often lists involving CD’s turn into “what cool bands do I know about that make me look awesome” contests. Nothing is more annoying to me, so that ain’t gonna happen. I’ve also tried to be practical with my choices, as I figure to be on that island for a looooonnnnngggg time. In no particularly order, my Lost in Limbo picks:

1. Johnny Cash, “Live at San Quentin”- Cash is the man. Who else revitalizes their career by playing at a federal penitentiary? Not only is the music great, the crowd makes every song better. The inmates’ reactions are comedic gold.

2. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band “Born to Run”- The F’n Boss with the E Street Band! Honestly, this CD would be worth it JUST for Thunder Road alone, but “10th Ave Freeze Out” and Born to Run are excellent in their own right. After attending a concert at Dodger Stadium (which was incredible), I’ve come to find out I love pre-”Born in the USA” Springsteen more than post-BITU Springsteen.

3. Beastie Boys “Paul’s Boutique”- Some people don’t dig on the Beastie Boys, but this album is their best.

4. The Killers “Sam’s Town”- I know, I know. This is the “sophomore slump” album and Hot Fuss would’ve been a better choice, you say. But I find this whole album to have a higher re-listen value, as I like it more everytime I hear it.

5. Arcade Fire “Funeral”- I’m like 2-3 years late in “discovering” them but a friend recommended I listen to the full album awhile back, I finally did a few months ago and I really enjoyed it.

6. John Mayer “Room for Squares”- I really don’t understand why people look down upon John Mayer. This is a really enjoyable album and on a desert island, that’s what counts. It also has very good memories attached to it, so it would help keep me sane. Or drive me to insanity more quickly as I yearn for the glory days. Either way, it’s a good choice.

7. Ted Nugent ‘Double Live Gonzo”- This is a selection for the sake of comedy. You haven’t heard the Nuge ’til you’ve heard the Nuge live in concert. For some reason, he’s incredibly funny to me. He’s actually threatened me via e-mail before when I was in high school, but that’s a story for another day.

8. The Go-Go’s “Vacation”- I’ve never heard the entire CD, but again one song is worth it. That song: “Vacation”. It always makes me happy. Always. And it somehow makes me nostalgic for an era that I didn’t live in, which is odd. I’m sure many people on my daily commute question a large black man singing along rather loudly to “Vacation” in his car, but they’ve probably become used to it. Plus, the fun of discovering new tracks should help pass the time a bit.

9. Kanye West “Late Registration”- I’m actually really disappointed that I don’t have more hip-hop on here, but as the years go by I listen less and less. There are very few hip-hop albums I could listen to all the way through (even “The Chronic” or “Doggystyle” don’t hold the same weight), but this is one of the few. I’d practically given up totally on the genre before this album came out, which was a breath of fresh air.

10. Willie Nelson “The Red-Headed Stranger”- From my understanding, this is one of the first concept albums to hit country music and there’s something incredibly appealing about it. I’ve heard it several dozen times but I remain intrigued as the story plays out. I love Willie’s voice and the stories he tells. He makes it look so easy that I feel like I could pick up a guitar and start singing and playing along with him.

Honorable mention: Bill Cosby “Himself”, James Brown- I couldn’t pick one album for the life of me. Too many choices without the greatest hits option, Weezer “Pinkerton”, Public Enemy “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back”
