Just wondering whats some of your favorite Post Apocalyptic web sites on the net up to and including any Fallout related ones...

i just recently stumbled onto www.pamedia.com and really like there strong info and research into the subject..
i only wish there radio section wouldnt cause my computer to vomit up error messages.

i also really like www.survivingtheapocalypse.com dedication to their certainty that were all doomed and should learn to eat and love dead cockroaches...

anyway im hoppin someone tosses a link out to a interesting site ive yet to see...


((I took a quick look around the boards and couldnt find this topic,... so if it was there and i just missed it just throw me a link instead of an insult please...))
 
nice list,...
I particulary liked frugal squirrels resorce list link you gave,...
Jesus and i had no idea there was such rampant paranoia, Theres so many damn articles its going to take me forever to read them...
so far i liked the little article on bartering in the post apocalyptic but i had to stop when i suddenly felt the urge to go dig a fallout shelter and fill it with among other things "toothpaste minature golf pencils and small bottles of whiskey".

Im still very interested in anymore sites anyone has.... but in particular im wondering if anyone knows of sites that have a section on post apocalyptic music ,.... a little obsession of mine that unfortunatly it seems no one shares.
 
[font size=1" color="#FF0000]LAST EDITED ON Sep-07-02 AT 00:19AM (GMT)[p]What do you consider post-apoc music? I would think Side2 of Bowies "Heroes"(All the stuff he did with Eno for you CD listeners). Otherwise it's hard to pin down specific tracks unless you consider stuff relating to PA movies. The entire "Until The End Of The World" soundtrack fits the theme. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds has a lot of good stuff.
 
The song made by nick cave to that soundtrack is the most falloutish tune i`ve ever heard, if we don`t count 30`s 40`s and 50`s songs.
 
a couple songs i would definitley deam post apocalyptic worthy would be...

California Dreaming - Mamas and Papas
Dont Fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult
Vera Lynn - Well Meet Again
Gary Jules - Mad World
Dream a little dream of me - Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald
Welcome to the Machine - Pink Floyd
Anyone can play Guitar - Radiohead
In the year 2525 - Zagger and Evans
Anemea - Tool

these are Post Apocalyptic songs mind you and not falloutish songs nesecarily since fallout has more of the 50ish feal to it... I have about 80 songs in all that i feal in some way or another are worthy.

What is the name of that Nick Cave song you were talking about Ive downloaded a bit of his stuff and his moody vocals definitly have post apocalyptic potential...
 
Till The End Of The World

It was a miracle I even got out of Longwood alive,
this town full of men with big mouths and no guts;
I mean if you can just picture it,
the whole third floor of the hotel gutted by the blast
and the street below showered in shards of broken glass,

and all the drunks pouring out of the dance halls
staring up at the smoke and the flames;
and the blind pencil seller waving his stick
shouting for his dog that lay dead on the side of the road;
and me, if you can believe this,
at the wheel of the of the car
closing my eyes and actually praying;
not to God above but to you, saying:

Help me, girl; help me, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
With your eyes black as coal
and your long dark curls

Some things we plan,
we sit and we invent and we plot and cook up;
others are works of inspiration, of poetry;
and it was this genius hand that pushed me up the hotel stairs
to say my last goodbye
to a hair as white as snow and of pale blue eyes
saying:
I gotta go; I gotta go,
the bomb in the bread basket are ready to blow

in this town of men with big mouths and no guts,
the pencil seller's dog, spooked by the explosion,
leaping under my wheels as I careered out of Longwood
on my way to you waiting in your dress,
in your dress of blue

I said:
Thank you, girl; thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
with your eyes black as coal
and your long, dark curls

and with the horses prancing through the fields,
with my knife in my jeans and the rain on the shield;
I sang a song for the glory of the beauty of you
waiting for me
in your dress of blue

Thank you, girl. Thank you, girl
I'll love you till the end of the world
with your eyes black as coal
and your long, dark curls
