RIP x-bomb


For those who don’t know, I make music under the alias “x-bomb”. Nothing too serious but there is a significant numbers of mp3s on my disk drive with “x-bomb” in their file names. Today it saddens me to retire that moniker.

This is the reason.

From the Tallahassee Democrat, Florida:

April 4, 2008

A briefcase marked "A-Bomb" in a pickup truck in Florida State's parking garage Thursday caused classes to be cancelled […].The Tallahassee Fire Department, police and bomb squad were called.

The bomb threat turned out to be bogus. It turns out the term "A-Bomb" is a nickname for a 17-year-old high-school student, Brooks said. A parking attendant originally spotted the briefcase in the bed of the boy's truck on the fourth-floor of the Woodward Avenue parking garage and notified authorities.

No arrest was made Thursday, but the case has not been closed.
