Why Underworld downloads are safer than CDs

[chuck]

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

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.

maybe i should move my cd racks out of my room now... maybe in the next earthquake i'm gonna get hit in the head with the barking boxset! D:

(poor people in NZ :'( )

[stimpee]

With the quality of the LHN cds i'd say that downloads are certainly better
