    Default Desert Island Disks

    Basically, you are marooned on a desert island, with no hope of rescue, but you are allowed some things:

    7 songs
    1 book
    A religious or ideological book of your choice (in the official version this is the Bible, though i know not all are Christian)
    1 work of art (obviously i mean a photograph or painting, though this may be a book of photographs of murals or a photo of a sculpture or whatever)


    For me-


    Songs:

    1. Sukiyaki - Kyu Sakamoto
    2. We will rock you - Queen
    3. Muslim Call to prayer - Any version
    4. Don't stop me now - Queen
    5. Stray cat strut - Stray Cats
    6. Tool - Sober
    7. Green day - Viva la Gloria?


    Book

    Complete History of the World - Any version


    Ideological work

    Mahabharata


    Work of Art

    One of the pages from the book of Kells, or maybe some Mayan or Hindu work. Graffiti taken to its highest extent.
    A new mobile phone tower went up in a town in the USA, and the local newspaper asked a number of people what they thought of it. Some said they noticed their cellphone reception was better. Some said they noticed the tower was affecting their health.

    A local administrator was asked to comment. He nodded sagely, and said simply: "Wow. And think about how much more pronounced these effects will be once the tower is actually operational."
