Chris Urbanowicz "Essentials" List 2006 (?)

Now here's a thing. I'm a regular reader of Chris' Twitter account, and something he posted recently felt strangely familiar.  He wrote that a little known fact about him was that he'd written a 13k word essay on The Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album at University, but for some reason I felt like I knew that already. 

Here's why. 

Buried on a hard drive was this from 2006 (I think), although I cannot for the life of me remember which website I ripped this from. I confess that I forgot I even had this at all.  It's a list of 10 things that Chris listed as essential in his life at that time, and the Pet Sounds essay is mentioned.  As dry as that might sound for the subject of a dissertation, that album is pretty legendary for the insanity that surrounded its inception.  Which I would suspect made it a really interesting topic to dig into and discuss.

What's on offer here is a zip file containing pictures of all 10 items he listed and a small explanation from the man himself as to why he chose them. Check it out:-
