Thursday Weekly Bits..

Brandon wanted to pick a day and have a weekly 'bit' where we'd both write about our personal opinions and takes on the exact same topic. The day is Thursday, because Thursday is a good day.

Today's bit: Desert Island Discs.

Shamelessly whored from the archives of the BBC, Island Discs is one of BBC Radio 4's most popular and enduring programmes. Created by Roy Plomley in 1942, the format is simple: each week a guest is to choose the eight records they would take with them to a desert island. We're going to modify that slightly and bend the rules a bit. Brandon and I are going to be allowed to take 8 albums to our Desert Island in the sun, and we'll even be able to take them on that oh-so-fine superaudio CD or DVD with a lovely surround sound system in the palm trees. Hey, it's our desert island and if there's only going to be 8 albums for the rest of our lives it fucking better had sound good. They're solar, ok?

EDIT: I see Brandon beat me to it sort-of with his below posting. We're still gonna roll with the Desert Island discs as well though. Partially because I'd like to hear the ocean, partly because I don't want him to have to re-write all of that good stuff, and partly because I'm currently listening to a great album.
