What? is that relevant?
He put on a turn-down collar, a black bow, and wore his Sunday tail-coat. As such, he looked spruce, and what his clothes would not do, his instinct for making the most of his good looks would.

Currently listening to
The Chemical Brothers - Dig Your Own Hole
It's funny whenever I put this album on I realize more and more how much this album means to me.
This album for me, was something that started something musical inside of me that I didn't know existed.
It was the album that "got me into electronic music", so to speak.
At the time I was hard core rock only guy. My life revolved around school, job, and playing guitar/drums.
If I remember, the album came out late winter or early spring and I remember being in Towers on one of my many cd buying trips to Toronto, walking up to the cash and there was a huge display of the the album on the pillar. This very interesting person came straight up to the display and picked it up like he would pick up change of a counter or grap for your car keys..(apparently it was so profound that I still can remember it perfectly).
I turned 19 that year and all the bars were always playing "Block Rockin Beats", and eventually the beat caught me. Throughout that process my brother would mention them every once in a while, which indicated he was getting more interested in them (him and I are basically boasting self proclaimed music snobs, and we have EXACTLY the same taste in music).
August of that summer I went on another cd buying trip to TO, and picked up the disk then. Thus began my journey into discover electronic music, and later the whole rave culture that went along with it. I've seen them live 2 of the 3 times they've been to TO.
When people ask me what kind of music I'm into, I tell them " I have my rock side, and I have my electronic side."
This album was responsible for it.

Tony, thanks for sharing your story - it hit home in some ways. Like you, the Chems definitely helped change the way I looked at electronic music. I'd heard them around Exit Planet Dust era but wasn't really feeling it, I was simply into other things musically I guess. I grew up on rock then got into the industrial goth scene where I kind of hung out in limbo for a while. Then I went through a musical slump somewhere around 1998 where I barely listened to anything. That slump lasted over a year year til right before Surrender came out. After that it was like a musical rebirth for me, kind of a self revelation. Almost like I was given a new pair of ears in which to listen to music again. I don't want to give teh Chems all the credit for that but they played a massive part in opening my ears again.
A lot can be said for a band that has the ability to properly transgres musical boundaries, and introduce their fans to other types of music they wouldn't have started listening to otherwise.
