Moby's Play, the only good album he has ever released. He has made some grand shit, but Play still remains one of my most liked (not favourite) electronic albums. 18 only has a handful of good song, my favourite being "The Great Escape".

Originally posted by musicfanatic: Christ, I had an unusual experience that day. I was camping with my older brother in northern Florida that week (well, until that day). We were hiking on a path, probably a mile or so away from our campsite, when I received a frantic call from one of my college buddies. All I could hear before the call cut off was that New York and Washington D.C. were hit by nuclear weapons!
Holy shit, where did your friend's friend get his news from, the Weekly World News? If I were in that situation I would probably head to the local gas station to stock up on ammunition and food stuffs. I'd head back to the hills withs some high school classmates and camp-out for a while. Then we would start a merciless but astonishingly effective guerrilla campaign against the occupying Cubans, until hate and self destruction consumed us. Wolverines!

i would just turn commie. i'm pretty much there as it is.
In reference to 9/11 specifically, I remember hearing a lot of that sad Enya song, "Who Can Say"
In 2001, I remember: Good Charlotte, The Strokes, The Avalanches (only "Frontier Psychiatrist), New Found Glory, My Blood Valentine, Eminem, Outkast, Switchfoot, etc

Oh, man, as scary as that must've been, I think it's an experience I would like to have had. I wonder what exactly my reaction would be if I really had thought that global nuclear war was upon us. I hardly ever get mad, but I think I'd get really pissed for a while. It's hard to say though.

I think "pissed" is a tad bit of an understatement, no? I know the cold war is in a deep freeze (err was, also see my above ^ post allusion ) so it might not be a "nuclear apocalypse" that I'd expect. But if that was the case, I mean civilization as we know it would be obliterated. If you survived the bombs and fallout, you'd mostly likely starve or die in the social collapse/chaos afterwards. I mean look what happened with the Katrina aftermath. Gas was through the roof in most of the country, the regional (and to some extent national) economy was bogged down, and that REGION largely still isn't recovered to a normal level. Has the cold war "mutually assured destruction" fear really slipped that far out of the collective consciousness... Sure there are tragic life situations that can effect you on a personal scale (death of family, bankruptcy, etc.) that would bring about a similar awestrucken sense of dread and helplessness, but if I was faced with the "world ending" I have no idea how I would/could react.
I had no idea Jimmy Eat World was so popular back then.
And Thanks for reminding me of Sunny Day Real Estate. I went through an obsession for about two weeks and then lost interest for some reason. I'm going to have to dig them back out.
