"The book " how to surive on a desert island without going stark raving mad" pen& paper to chronicle ny descent into madness because i have music but nothing to play it on  "
And on the radio show you also get given The Bible and the Complete Works of Shakespeare.
Could use The Bible for kindling, I suppose? |

"How long am i going to be on this island ? 8 songs ? Jeez going to take some thought "
The following is just for info - please ignore if you know this. Just thought it might not have been heard of in the States.
Desert Island Discs is a radio programme on one of the BBC radio channels here. It's been going many years (50?). Celebrities and interesting people e.g. authors.
It's a great, easy-paced programme that often reveals interesting information about the person. I'm sure the entire archive is now available (on the BBC website?).
I loved Noel Gallagher's last year. I'm not a fan of his music, but he is a funny guy, who is way more intellugent than he lets on.
Mine:
Curtis Mayfield - the Makings of You
New Order - True Faith
Sparklehorse - More Yellow Birds
Brahms - How Lovely Are Thy Dwellings Fair (from the German Requiem)
The Beach Boys - Surf's Up
Esther Phillips - Home is Where The Hatred Is
DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World
Nina Simone - My Father
Book: Gabriel Garcia Marquez - Love in the Time of Cholera
Luxury Item: a piano

Oh, enjoy!
I've seen him a couple of times. I enjoyed it, but what I'd really love to see is him playing a DJ set - a bunch of records from his own collection, as opposed to re-interpreting his own tracks.
It sometimes just felt like listening to the album really, really loud!
Sure he'll be great though. That first album is brilliant. |

"Thanks didnt know about the program ,  "
You're in the US - not surprising you've not heard of it! Nothing to be embarrassed about!
It's an institution here in the UK.
The archives are well worth a listen. |
