Oh Andrew I know I added those quotes, I wasn't criticising your post.

The thing is, the sense of "we've won" is never going to be anything but a false dawn because there is never a victory in life as regards anything, it's an ongoing series of problems/solutions.

You two scousers are always yapping
I'm gonna show you some serious rapping
I come from Jamaica, my name is John Barn-es
When I do my thing the crowd go bananas

How's he doing the Jamaica rap?
He's from just south of the Watford Gap
He gives us stick about the north/south divide
'cause they got the jobs
Yeah, but we got the side

That's some heavy shit there, people.

most unfortunate considering they were thrown at him on one occasion. actually maybe THIS was why all along...'racialist? why no your honour i'm just a little hard of hearing!'

Enrique if you look back on the MFTJG sleeve and cringe, that strikes me as more disappointing than the idea that it was JUST a naive statement to be discounted now

I cringe in the same way I cringe at 'Gold Agin the Soul', on aesthetic grounds which are also political. Liam 'n' co are not very axiomatic of what's happened to rave culture BUT they aren't quite the idealists any more, or if they are it's in an entirely different way.

i'm sorry i can't hear you, i've got politics stuck in my ear

Ronan: this is always true (humans turn out to be humans shocker, the only people who should be in charge are the ones who don't want to be etc.) but people always forget this when there's a common enemy, as in the current situation inside the US.

I think the fact that the anti-Bush coalition is all over the place is overshadowing the fact that the pro-Bush coalition is equally all over the place. If the War on Terror ended tomorrow, there'd be a lot of "hang on, why are we supporting this guy again?". But the WoT is designed to be without end... (puts on tin-foil hat)

wahay, dog latin sounds like me two years ago.

that's because I'm posting from the year 2001.

How far back are dl and Enrique identifying this clubbing-political apathy and anti-intellectualist problem? I mean, Enrique, you've said you think dance music went down the dumper at some point, but you know that people (jaded ravers as much as outsiders) have been saying thing about pills hedonism being a self-administered opiate for the masses since at least the start of the 90s? That doesn't make an invalid argument, of course - it's just something to bear in mind before you make any hasty assertions about something wider having changed, just on the basis of your own personal journey.

Look at lipstickandcigarettes and then look at this piece of shit (Warning - scrolling down not safe for work)

― charltonlido (gareth), Wednesday, 23 June 2004 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

it is safe for work though, dont worry, the image that made it unsafe is now gone

Me dont like those indie hipsters

sorry, this is the one i was looking for. i dont like the attitudes expressed in this thread, and i think its a shadow that hangs over this one, and others, also

six months pass...

this is a great post. fuck clubbing with its facist bouncers, overpriced drinks, shit music and cheesy decor.

ive been spending most of my life living in the clubbers paradise, apparently.

Damn I was good on this thread.

Not as good as the "bag of chips" comment though. I love it when people remind me of things I should never have forgotten.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 17 January 2005 20:54 (twenty-one years ago)

i have never been in a "club".

― John (jdahlem), Monday, 17 January 2005 21:03 (twenty-one years ago)

i missed the running chips theme myself until just now. Matt DC OTM - you were marvellous on this thread err.. darling... or something.
For a thread about clubbing this was a debate of prog-rock proportions.

i get it

for me these days it's usually a case of "if I don't know the person who's running the club, I don't go".

To be honest, in Oxford you can pretty much avoid the problems described initially on this thread by DL by avoiding *one particular* club.

Thai Club Posted by Zigggzzz on 12/24/2003
For those of you who travel to Thailand, this club is a quick fix when you miss those beautiful thai girls. Karaoke bar with thai girls. Runs about $100 an hour tip included.

― lolita corpus (lolitacorpus), Wednesday, 19 January 2005 02:25 (twenty-one years ago)

the only reason i wd go to a club is to hang around outside to accost sketchy-looking fellows for dru8s. anyone who would pay money to set foot inside them is no better than a fratboy or prostitute-hiring-man (what are these called??)

two months pass...

One year later - Well, I haven't been clubbing round here for ages and ages. Even when this thread got started I hadn't been for a long time.

Actually I tell a lie, there's a place in Hitchin that used to be famous for all the teenie boppers and townies to go to. It cost about £8 to get in and then about £3 for a drink and it was SO SHIT! It closed down for about a year and then a big fanfare was made that it had been taken over with loads of money being poured into it and it was definitely NOT going to be like before, with talk of decent proper dance nights and even maybe gigs and things.
So we went to the grand opening because we'd heard it was free entrance. It cost £10 to get in, £4 for a drink and the music was atrocious, I mean really really bad - it was like some kind of Now Dance compilation from 1997 - the newest track they played was that Tori Amos Armand Van Helden remix. We left after 25 minutes of hurriedly necking 330ml bottles of Grolsch and looking sorrowfully at a quarter-empty dnacefloor.

The bar / pool hall I was in last night had a dancefloor. The DJ appeared to be operating out of a time portal from 2001.
