Frangipani Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Desert Island Disks is a radio show in the UK which has been running for 80 years now. Guests are stuck on a hypothetical desert island and are interviewed about which songs they'd bring with them. The rules of the show are: You are allowed to pick 8 songs. You are allowed to pick one book. You are allowed to bring one item of your choice, but it must be inanimate and can't be used to help escape the island. What would you choose? 7 Quote
COCC Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Only eight songs! I find it very difficult to choose But I think I would settle my new, lonely island life with this selection: - Venice Bitch - Old Money - If You Lie Down With Me - Tears Dry on Their Own, Amy Winehouse - Resistere, La Rappresentante di Lista - Holy Shit, FJM - Makumba, Noemi - Divenire, Ludovico Einaudi Choosing books is all the more difficult because I have so many favourites. I would probably take The Song of Achilles- because the story swept me away and at the same time serves as a link to the past The object... well, electronic tools are obviously useless (bye bye LB ). Hence a pocket knife to at least be able to make more tools and crack coconuts 4 Quote
DeadSeaOfMercury Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Black Beauty - Lana Enjoy The Silence - DM Conductor - Florence Cities In Dust - Siouxsie Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden Nothing Really Matters - Madonna Closer - NIN Landslide - FM “97 version from the dance” I guess I’d get around to reading the divine comedy Monopoly? Yeah this is too hard… 4 Quote
Barry Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Lifestyle - Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan Never Stop - Future Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush 3 Peat - Lil Wayne Gods & Monsters - Lana Del Rey Salvatore - Lana Del Rey Starin Through My Rearview - Tupac Say You Will - Kanye West The book, probably some type of island survival book and a pot to cook with, since I doubt you would find one there and it would be a good thing to have. 1 Quote
Frangipani Posted July 1, 2022 Author Posted July 1, 2022 Venice Bitch - Lana Del Rey Ride - Lana Del Rey Sun Bleached Flies - Ethel Cain Billions - Caroline Polacheck Prada - Arca Strangers - Ethel Cain Want You In My Room - Carly Rae Jepsen The Boss - Diana Ross There's a lot of books I love but I think I'd pick a foraging guide. For the item I'd choose a knife because that would definitely come in handy. 0 Quote
IanadeIrey Posted July 1, 2022 Posted July 1, 2022 Songs: Lana Del Rey — West Coast Hole — Violet Alice in Chains — Nutshell America — Sister Golden Hair Slowdive — When the Sun Hits Pink Floyd — Time Lana Del Rey — Shades of Cool Led Zeppelin — Immigrant Song Book: Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, because at least I could develop some sense of faith that I could make do on the island lol. Purely psychological and spiritual preservation. Object: Sunscreen for sure. Surviving is key, but when you’re scorching in the desert sun, might as well stay young and beautiful! 6 Quote
Blue Ink Posted July 2, 2022 Posted July 2, 2022 Lana - West Coast Lana - Wayamaya Lana & Barrie - UFB Lana & Barrie - Summer Wine The Jesus & Mary Chain - Psychocandy The Jesus & Mary Chain - Down On Me The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up The Knee Hi's - What A Way To Die I'd take a survival guide about how not to die on a lonely island. I think a knife makes sense. Also, only good vibes on my island tbh, I'd try to have a good time. I just wanna frolick with the dolphins and toucans and whatnot. It'd be me and the colorful exotic island animals running along the beach throwing hibiscus petals etc. 2 Quote Honey, you make me feel I'm invincible
