Bach's Brandenburg Concerto #4

Would have taken a (full-length) dictionary, but rather mysteriously dictionaries aren't allowed, so instead maybe the biggest anthology of poetry that's ever been out there - given the time that I don't usually have to read & absorb works.

Gonna need to do dome culling there mister, you're only allowed 8 discs.

Great OP BTW. Lady Dollers and I often listen to D.I.D. to wind down before sleep. Love it. Difficult to narrow down to 8 songs though. I'd go;

Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
Walkin' After Midnight - Patsy Cline
99 Problems - JAY-Z
Medication - Spiritualized
I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow - The Soggy Bottom Boys (O' Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack)
The Paris Match - The Style Council
Svefn-g-englar - Sigur Rós
Blue Moon Revisited - Cowboy Junkies

Book - Yes Man, Danny Wallace. Read it a few times and never tire of it.
Luxury item - a barrel of cocaine. You'd need something for partying/relieving the boredom/a pain killer. While listening to Medication by Spiritualized.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

Difficult to give you an uppie when you have included exactly twice as many choons as the format for Desert Islands Discs prescribes, however also difficult to give you a downie as you have included Brian Protheroe's 'Pinball'.

So I'll give you a duppie on account of there not being any reggae in your list, thus encouraging you to become a Duppy Conqueror should you revisit this thread and decide to follow the orthodoxy.

+1 for Dedication & Intent, also for pointing out that 8 discs without any reggae would be a crime against the human soul.

It’s actually a bit of a cheeky thread to add to music playlists and get ideas for books to read!
Some great stuff so far.
