Noticed that Desert Island Discs are accepting submissions from the general public for the first time which got me thinking what 8 tracks I'd pick if the ship went down! Came up with this lot.
1. Quicksand - David Bowie 2. Sleep The Clock Around - Belle & Sebastian 3. These Arms of Mine - Otis Redding 4. Easy Skanking - Bob Marley & The Wailers 5. The Impossible Dream - Carter USM 6. OMAHAM - James 7. Love Her Madly - The Doors 8. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - The Smiths
Anyone else?

Oooh. If the ship was sinking right now, I'd go for:
1. Where is the Puzzle? - Bonnie Prince Billy 2. Life's What You Make It - Talk Talk 3. This Asphalt World - Suede 4. Sound - James 5. Rudie Can't Fail - The Clash 6. Re: Stacks - Bon Iver 7. Gideon - My Morning Jacket 8. Yellow Ledbetter - Pearl Jam
If I was blessed and allowed a 9th, it'd be the 'Who The Fuck Are Cardiff City?/The Jacks Are Going Up medley by Swansea Fans, 30/5/2011 ;D

I've just realised that I didn't include any Elvis or Leonard Cohen. After much deliberation I've decided I can't exclude any of my original 8 so I'm going to cheat and add in another 2!
9. If I Can Dream - Elvis Presley 10.Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye - Leonard Cohen
I'm also swapping my Doors song for The Severed Garden!

Ah it seems we've landed on an island chain on which we can expand territory. in that case: Having heard it in the background on the new iFangled, iFallutin', iForgetnow device advert, I'm going to have to add 9. Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk - The New Pornographers or would that be byzantine? And as it seems made for just such an occassion; 10 Island In the Sun - Weezer
