Desert Island Discs

[John Mc]

We haven't had a list thread for at least 3 days now so lets see how this goes. It's the Desert Island Discs thread, pick 8 tunes, one book and one luxury item to take to you to a desert island. As on the real show you've already got the complete works of Shakespeare, The Bible plus every Boo's/Paperlung/Eggman/bravecaptain album and single and mix thing (which are now standard issue in emergency kits on boats all over the world).

And you can't have an Ipod as your luxury item cos that ruins the thread, puts Sue Lawley out of a job and Nick Hornby chose that and you don't want to be like Nick Hornby do you?

Prepare to have a volleyball on a stick as your best friend for the next few years and pick your tunes.
