Think about this...........could be fun!!!
Here in the UK we have a radio show called "Desert Island Disks".
People go on the show and talk about bits of music and items that they would HAVE to have to survive alone on an island. So.......... Let's start Aural Moons own version: Sea of Tranquility Disks You're going to be marooned on The Sea of Tranquility. Give: 1) FIVE albums you would take. 2) A book you would HAVE to have to keep you sane. And... 3) One "Special" item you would want with you. This can be ANYTHING at all. For example, Peanut Butter or A painting by Dali or ANYTHING. Happy thinking. :p |
Sea of Tranquility Disks........
Albums:
1) Tales From Topographic Oceans - Yes 2) Thick as a Brick - Jethro Tull 3) Darkside of the Moon - Pink Floyd 4) Pink Moon - Nick Drake 5) Symphony No. 9 "The Choral" - Beethoven Jonathon Livingstone Seagull - Richard Bach Special object: Earl Grey Tea. |

I forgot to mention...........
The facility exists to play your CDs but there's nowhere to plug other electrical equipment in. Batteries won't work there either so iPods and other musical equipment won't work. Think again you smart arses. :D

blow the whistle...
oh sure, change the rules in the middle of the game... :rolleyes:
|
remember roger and I requested solar powered ibooks, which unless we're on the dark side of the moon, we ought to be OK.

5 cd's
Yes - Close to the Edge Eno - Music For Airports Arlo Guthrie - Hobo's Lullaby Boards of Canada - Music has the Right to Children John Michael Talbot - Come to the Quiet Book - the Bible Special item - Family photo I'm a guy of changing moods so I couldn't stick with all prog selections. There's a simple joy I get from hearing the folk songs sung on this Arlo Guthrie album. Likewise with the JMT album. Alone on an island, your bound to do some thinking about God and this one would be appropriate :) And I suppose one wouldn't need a clean change of underwear since you could wash the pair you're wearing - and there would be no one there to share it with anyway. Ya - I will opt for no clean underwear as a non-choice :cool: |
What would I take to the Sea of Tranquility?
Yes - Tales of Topographic Oceans Peter Gabriel - So Genesis - Foxtrot Anthony Phillips - 1984 Ralph Vaughan-Willimas - 5th SYmphony Book: The Complete Scripts of Monty Pythons Flying Circus What else: My reading glasses :D |
5 albums:
FM - Black Noise Tears For Fears - Elemental Counting Crows - August And Everything After Simple Minds - Street Fighting Years Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy (these may change at any time) book: Robert Heinlein "Time Enough For Love" thing: cell phone so I can call all of you and brag about how great it is on my island...:D |
