I think that would last me until i went mad and started talking to coconuts..

Oddly enough I'm listening to Morphine right now.

Revancha de tango is one of my favourite albums.

If you haven't heard them try

Bajofondo tango Club - various Tango electronica

Gran Hotel Buenos Aires - Frederico Aubele which is a Reggae dub tango Electronica album

I don't know any of the songs listed so far so I'd probably swim away from your island and risk sharks/drowning wink

I hear you. :lol:

I'd turn the jukebox into a raft and use the disks to gut fish and the like. :)

/am I spoiling this thread? sorry. as you were.
//:P

(.....of course you could always have Celine Dion thirty times to ensure the rest of your empty life is very, very short.)

I'd use the discs to make a giant mirror to signal passing ships/overflying planes. Even if I were destined to stay there the rest of my life, it would give me hope.
