Has not the invention of MP3 players and portable solar panels made the concept of "desert island discs" obsolete? I mean, who the hell brings a CD player to the apocalypse?

So I just realized that the world is supposed to end on International Rush Day. Pretty cool, huh? That's what I thought this thread was going to be about, actually. I will (maybe) come up with a list later when I don't have to write and edit things. ------------- I love dogs, I've always loved dogs |

Lather Sheik YerBouti Joe's Garage The Grand Wazoo Roxy & Elsewhere One Size Fits All Make A Jazz Noise Here Zappa In New York (even though it overlaps with Lather) Apostophe (') and Over-Nite Sensation (on one CD-R, because they fit)  London Symphony Orchestra Wazoo Imaginary Diseases Waka/Jawaka Jazz From Hell YCDTOSA vol. 2 and 5

^It's my favorite symphony, although I only have one recording of it. Perhaps surprisingly, I like the second movement best. The orchestration and attention to detail is magnificent.

Kick ass lists, dudes! Love seeing Art Blakey, Eno, Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Aphex Twins, L'Isola di niente, Allman Bros., Berlioz, and Soulfly on these lists! Diversity will be the saviour from insanity! Or, perhaps Death Metal should be all we're allowed to take with us Embarrassed I haven't posted my own lists yet.

Indeed - whenever I see anyone scaremongering about this upcoming date I point out that the world does not end every December 31st. And if the Mayans said it means we'll think differently about time, then why does that have to mean The End Of Time?
