This should probably go into world - as it's more about the earthquake than Underworld, but the article made me smile - in the middle of a really shit day.
The Day the Earth Roared (http://http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/christchurch-earthquake/4693057/The-day-the-earth-roared)
Opening paragraphs
With no warning the earth roared and shook us ferociously. Like my colleagues in the features department of Christchurch newspaper The Press, I dived under my desk.
I'm a music critic and as we shook and my mind's eye flashed images of my four children I was pelted with CDs including, ironically, an Underworld album.
The same thing happened to me on September 4, I was even hit by the exact same CD, but this was completely different and a much more visceral and potently deadly quake.
Christchurch is a mess. I'll write up some stuff for world.
