Radio 4 just did a listeners' "best of" where non celebs could send in their own selections and they were compiled into a chart. So, if you could pick eight pieces of music and one luxury item for a long stay in sun-drenched solitary what would they be? |

This is SO difficult. As of this morning it would go something like this, and would be diffferent again tomorrow, so in no particular order: John Coltrane: A Love Supreme Ravi Shankar: Live In San Francisco Holst: Planet Suite Pentangle: Basket Of Light Yes: Close To The Edge Incredible String Band: Hangman's Beautiful Daughter The Beatles: Magical Mystery Tour US LP Version The Kinks: Are The Village Green Preservation Society Luxury Item: My Duvet ( I was tempted to do a Partridge and choose eight 'Best Of's' and my Ipod).

Don't think albums are allowed. And, that duvet's too practical

Forgot my own eight. Not easy even if you are allowed albums rather than tracks. A lot of killing two birds with one stone here .. Beauty Queen - For Your Pleasure Moonlight Mile - Sticky Fingers Close To The Edge - Yessongs Cop Shoot Cop - Spritiualized RAH Like A Rolling Stone - Spirit of 76 Walk With Me - Translinear Light (Alice Coltrane) Subterranean Homesick Alien - Radiodread (Junior Jazz) Bach Cello Suites - Tortelier EDIT forgot Small Hours from "One World" that's going to have to cover folk, dub and ambient for me and so the Radiodread track has to go. EDIT #2: Forgot Hazey Jane I from "Bryter Layter". That might trump the Spiritualized tune. Luxury? A piano. Presumably I would have plenty of time to learn how to play it and it could double as a sideboard and wind break! EDIT forgot the book? - A Wodehouse compendium probably or James Robert Baker's "Boy Wonder" which is an epic and highly comedic and somewhat incorrect Hollywood satire. Something funny and episodic at any rate.
