I almost died listening to Battles!
 

So I was walking to the city this afternoon after school. I got out early and started walking to Broadway. I got there at about 1:30 and decided to take a shortcut through the middle of the carpark to get to the road. On the way I noticed an electricity sub station and I tried to see if I could look inside. I then continued on my walk. When I got home I found the whole thing exploded 15 minutes later and caused a massive fire. I saw the footage on the news: I wouldn't have survived.

But yeah I was listening to Tonto at the time.

I thought you had a heart-attack while listening to it.

I'd rather that then being FUCKING EXPLODED!

I'm sure we can blame the Battles for this in some way.

For rocking?

For blowing the fire out of electricity stations, sure

A riff bounced from your head phones and acoustically ricocheted within the structure for fifteen minutes until it finally exploded.

Haha repped

It would've been a good death though.

I'm only 16! I want to liiiiiive!

I thought you where older.

Nope. Thanks for thinking that though.

That's a nice story.

What were you wearing?

I thought so too


And that's a rep for gmku

thats ian williams plan. leave a trail of destruction everywhere.

Yeah, Bad Trails

i was expecting this to be dumb, but thats actually a wicked rad story. glad your alive.

After I listened to Battles, I almost died of boredom. Not even the ambulance crew that came to pick me up were sympathetic towards me.

hahahaha

but don't diss battles, dude

or i'll rip out your spleen

I thought the same thing when I first saw the thread title. It's a little ambiguous. I wonder how we might re-phrase this to avoid confusion? Perhaps: I almost died in an accident while listening to Battles.

Or: While listening to Battles, I missed by several minutes being involved in a possibly fatal accident.

Or: I was listening to Battles while walking past a utility substation. If I'd hung around, I might have been caught in its explosion.

Suggestions?
