This came to me on my drive home. Okay, picture this:
It's 1993. You are going on a trip alone and for some crazy reason you decide to pack your stuff in a fireproof, water proof backpack. In a visionary moment you think to place your two all-time favorite cd's in the backpack along with your Discman and five packs of batteries. You place said backpack safely under the seat in front of you. Here comes the scary part...
Plane crashes. You end up on a deserted island. With your backpack. What luck right?
Here comes the thinking, interactive part...
What two cd's would YOU have packed for your time alone on the deserted island? Think about this for a few moments, I can wait. Let's say you'll be there for 6 months. Nothing but you, the ocean, the island and your music. Choose wisely my friends - 6 months is a long, long time.
My two:
#1 In Rainbows by Radiohead (I know it wasn't released till January of 08, but I stick my tongue out at you. This is my game.)
#2 Listen Without Prejudice by George Michael (*Note, this does NOT qualify as cheese, trust me on that.)
Come on, play along.
Oh, and, if you follow my blog, if you keep up with my thoughts...the journey of my writing...my life, I thank you. And I'd like you to comment. I am seriously lacking in the comment department. I get all of these hits and no comments (ignore pleading, BPV and Carrie Harris and Prince Balthazar).
Have fun...

Hey, don't ignore me! ;)
Tough. So so tough. I think I'd have to go with "House of Leaves" by Poe and the Grease soundtrack. Nothing like dancing around to "Greased Lightning" on a deserted island.
Al Green-Call Me (1973)
The Clash- London Calling (1979)
Carrie: Grease is the WORD!
Anon: The Clash...excellent call.
I'm not a big music guy, BUT...
Peter Gabriel, "So"
Van Halen "5150"
And for my third choice, I'd pick Gilligan. "How to get off a Desert Island in Four-hundred and Six Easy Steps"
I love classical music and I think it fits just about every mood imaginable. So, that said I would have to choose Bach's Cello Suites by Yo Yo Ma and also Lorraine Hunt Lieberson's Bach Cantatas.
And, uh, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever.
Nice, Prince. Classical music would be a perfect fit. And SNF sountrack - again, nice choice.
mine would be the "Out Of Africa" soundtrack. It's chock full of Mozart... my favorite composer, hands down.
and MY very own mixed tape of etta james, prince, faith hill, norah jones, joss stone, lincoln park, 'lil wayne, t-pain, flogging molly, bing crosby, bob marley and a little fed le grande in case i wanted to work out and stay in shape. JUUUUUST in case i came across any super HOT indigenous tribal dudes who haven't had sex in awhile...lol
