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.

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.

That's not exactly definitive."

D'oh!
Well, I've got some nice coasters for my non-existant soft-drink machine.

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.

[roger]

oh sure, change the rules in the middle of the game...

[teermin8r]

remember roger and I requested solar powered ibooks, which unless we're on the dark side of the moon, we ought to be OK.

Book:

A PowerBook (I'd have said that anyway, regardless of whoever else said it)

Special Item:

A special magical black box that provided unlimited internet access for my powerbook. I'm assuming that I'd have some power source, since it'd be useless to take the albums without some way of playing them...

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
