Desert Island Picks

[Sox]

On the radio over here in England they do a "Desert Island Discs" slot where a guest is invited to choose 8 albums, a book and one luxury item to take with them to a lonely shore. In the picks we'll have 10 albums, a book and 5 Ales or Wines of your choice.

^^Black Dog Whiskey Cool.

 

[Fisha]

Do the blaloks indie rock playlists with about 100 songs on each count as albums?

As for the 5 wines, I'm not up on alcohol. ;D But if I could exist on apple juice I'd rot my esophagus to death with it.
