 | Time (The Revelator) by Gillian Welch
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £10.11 Beautiful and haunting country music. Welch is an incredible songwriter and performer. My choice from this is 'Revelator'.

 | Smetana - Má Vlast
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.68 Simply a wonderful, powerful piece of music.
|
 | Deltron 3030 by Deltron 3030
Buy used from: £8.50 This is fantastic hip hop: visionary, moving, tongue-in-cheek, and sometimes just weird. From this I choose 'Madness'.
|
 | The Boatman's Call by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Buy new: £9.78 / Used from: £7.93 Incredibly atmospheric album - not 'gloomy' per se, but definitely not something for a summer's afternoon. Fantastic imagery and very evocative of...something. I'll take 'Far From Me' from this.
|
 | Hormonally Yours by Shakespear's Sister
Buy new: £6.78 / Used from: £3.50 'Stay' still sends a shiver down my spine, beautiful melody and lyrics...gorgeous.

![Stand By Me: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31GMS9NHDBL._SL75_.jpg) | Stand By Me: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] by Various
Buy new: £6.58 / Used from: £1.95 I love film soundtracks and this one is one of my favourites: lots of 50s summer hits, reminds me of a New England summer. I'm choosing 'Stand By Me'...because I love it.
|
 | Electro-Shock Blues by Eels
Buy new: £6.08 / Used from: £1.74 An album to listen to if you feel brokenhearted or otherwise miserable. I couldn't survive without this. 'Last Stop: This Town' is possibly the funkiest song in the world!
|
 | Twelve Deadly Cyns ... And Then Some by Cyndi Lauper
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £0.49 Cyndi Lauper helped me find my musical feet when I was just 11 years old, and she'll always have a special place in my heart. 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' is a classic, I think.
|
 | The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language by David Crystal
Buy new: £19.28 / Used from: £14.99 I love this book. A testament to how beautiful, complex, destructive and enlightening language can be - and how we'll never know the half of it. Incidentally my luxury is a life supply of Jack Daniels
