BBC Radio 4 does a program called Desert Island Discs where people have to imagine that they are stranded on a desert island and are allowed the following:
8 pieces of music
1 book - excluding the Bible, other religious works and the Complete Works of Shakespeare
1 luxury item - which must be inanimate
I thought I would re-define the list to have 4 pieces of music or albums and 4 books, and my 1 luxury item would be a single bottle of beer. So here goes:
Music
Rachmaninov's 3rd Piano Concerto
Peat Fire Flame - The Corries
Louder than Bombs - The Smiths
Requiem - Mozart
Books
Credo - Melvyn Bragg
Scotland's Empire - Tom Devine
Testament to Freedom - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
High Fidelity - Nick Hornby
Luxury Bottle of Beer
BrewDog Paradox
Cool idea, I like the tweaks. Just one bottle of beer is tough though!! I'd choose:
ReplyDeleteBarbers Adagio for String
Mr Brightside - The Killers
This Time Next Year - The Movielife
MTV Unplugged - Dashboard Confessional
Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes
Candide - Voltaire
The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom
A Brewmaster's Table - Garrett Oliver
And the beer... right now I'd choose Thornbridge's St Petersburg, but I'd plan ahead and get it aged in a bourbon barrel first!
I'll play:
ReplyDeleteMusic:
Ray La Montaigne - Trouble
Doves - The Last Broadcast
Ryan Adams - Gold
Ennio Morricone - The Mission
Books:
Origin of Species - Charles Darwin
American Psycho - Brett Easton Ellis
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Douglas Adams
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S Thompson
The beer:
Goose Island IPA
