This is a thread that someone has probably started before, somewhere along the line but here goes anyway. Choosing cd's to take with us on our recce trip to NS it occurred to me that I would have difficulty choosing my all-time favourite piece of music if I was going to be stranded on a desert island for a while. I need to think about this myself, but what would be your choice of music and luxury item(excluding OH's and rugrats)

Decisions, decisions - too many for me to choose - I'd put 'em all on my iPod...

Music: Levi Stubbs' Tears.

Luxury Item: A wire wheel, painted not chromed, with a knock on hub.

Maybe he lost one?

Lost the plot me thinks.

It's an expression of man's higher instincts, the peak of artistic endeavour. No man hath wrought an object more beautiful than the Austin-Healey 100/4 but to ask for the whole car seemed greedy and verging on the practical.

But what would you do with it?

The same as I do now, caress it, admire it, allow it provoke reverie of all things pure and worthwhile, let it symbolize the hope for a better humanity. It is to me, perhaps, as Proust's madeleines were to him (though less soluble).

Besides, it's a luxury item, innit? I don't have to do things with it.

Music.... some sort of ipod compilation


Luxury Item: Selmer Mk VI tenor sax.

I'Pod's is cheating.....

Gerry Rafferty "City to City" then, but I reserve the right to change my mind at any time!

Okay - my Zen full o' heavy rock tunes then.

Luxury item: A jar of Illy espresso coffee (and the paraphenalia to brew it)

Because?

I believe you have to select one song from eight to take with you if you are staying true to the original format. Which of course you don't have to.....
