My castaway this week is..(insert username here).

An atomic bomb is about to be detonated on a pacific atoll. You have the chance to put 7 records on the island before the detonation. What would they be?
Also a book - I give you the Bible/other religious text of your chosing and Mein Kampf. You can have one more.
And a most hated item...

Can we include the band/singer who sang/performed them?
Tunes -
Barbie Girl - (Have no desire to remember the artist)
Reach for the Stars - Steps, or S-Club or something like that
Grandma we love You - St. Winifreds School Choir
Macaraina (sp?) - (again have no desire to remember the artist)
I Wish I could Fly - Keith Harris & Orville
Sorry, can't think of any others that I really dislike.

Book -
Steppenwolf - Herman Hess. Tried to read it many times but can't get my head round it by about page 30 or so. Found Ulysses far easier to read (no I've not finished that either)

Most Hated Item -
Does my ex wife class as an 'item'?

Bikini's a lovely place. Bit of a pig to get to now AMI aren't flying there mind.

Actually a series of bomb tests lasting many years - and still causing hassle as the Bikinian people are living in rubbish conditions while others who were displaced by the testing have returned to their islands.

Can't think of any books, particularly, but records would be all of Manic Street Preachers whiney, shouty nonsense.
Oh, and Happy Mondays crappy 'Step On', because it wrecked a favourite of mine, John Kongos' 'He's Gonna Step On You Again', which is vastly superior in every way.
Can I include the artists, too?

St Winifreds School Choir has embedded in me a deep loathing of Catholic school children and horrible, vile pink cardigans!
