I would choose to be stranded alone with five copies of Dave Matthews Band-Under The Table and Dreaming. Not because I'd listen to them, but because that would be five fewer copies of that frat boy hemp necklace garbage loose in the world.

In no particular order:

Bjork - Vespertine
Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album
Portishead - S/T
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi
Yowie - Damning with Faint Praise

I was thinking about this the other day and came to the conclusion that "stranded on a desert isle" I would forgo records in favor or being able to play music. If I could have a reliably working and tunable piano or keyboard with reliable power supply, I'd be able to occupy a lifetime studying and playing the works of JS Bach. So in lieu of albums, give me the urtext editions and Bach-Gesellschaft facsimiles of:

-Well Tempered Clavier, Books I & II
-English Suites
-French Suites
-Six Keyboard Partitas
-Inventions and Sinfonias

WIth any leniency these editions might include the seven Toccatas, Goldberg Variations, Clavier Ubung and miscellaneous works too.

As Dr. Strangelove said at the end of the film, "...there would be much time, and little to do...".

I've never thought of the desert island Q like this, instead figuring survival would be a huge timesink, and music a balm.

Autechre - Incunabula
Alva Noto + Sakamoto Ryuichi - Vrioon
Willow Smith - S/T
Monodrone - Forbidden Fruit
Miles Davis - In a Silent Way

Ask me another day you might get a different answer.

Been on a Speaking Canaries dose lately; Joy of wine and Songs for the terrestrially challenged are the best thing ever right now.

-Bach cello suites. I should say Casals but Rostropovich gets a lot of play.
-Cocteau Twins. My favorite band. I’ll say Treasure.
-Miles Davis Kind of Blue. Real original, I know.
-Danielle Dax Pop Eyes.
-something angry and sexy. Fun House or an equivalent post punk descendant.

Fuck, I need The Fall and early Cure in there too.

And The Beatles.

Fail.

Damn, that looks an awful lot like mine, except different REM album.
