Depending on where we were in what year at what time or where you weren't, our deserted island albums may vary.
First ask yourself, what are you going to do when your batteries die?
Did you bring a charger?
Is there AC current, are you AC or DC?
Negative battery power or Positive Polarity?
Now there is power on Bjork's island, but you aren't going to visit there so what is the first thing you would play to leave you hummin' or bummin'?
Music affects us in oh so many ways; it can fuck with our head, leave us cold, leaves us chillin', leave us happy, leave us sad.
Over the years, many fade, while others still hold the edge.
These are not my island choices, but just a shitload of memorable gems.
