No Place To Go With An iPod

I read at TUAW.com a report about two trapped miners in Tasmania. While they have been stuck down there for eight days, thankfully, rescue efforts are going well and the miners should be out in roughly 48 hours. In the meantime, rescue crews used a PVC pipe to send in food, blankets and clothes along with several iPods to help the trapped miners while away the hours.
"They remain in good health and have now received iPods so they can listen to their favourite music."
A digital camera was also sent down so the miners could take pictures to show their surroundings and what is going on.

So instead of wondering what songs or albums you'd want to be stuck with on a deserted island, it's all about being stuck 3 miles under the Earth. Hopefully they got iPods that can play video.
