Bloc Party at the Astoria in London



Possibly the best gig I've ever been too.

acceptable in the 80's?




Video of a gig i went to a little while ago, Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80's at Fabric.

Golden Skans




A music video like this has suddenly inspired me to go into film and video instead!

What the hell is New-Rave?

This makes me angry, what does 'new-rave' mean? If there's such a thing as old rave then someone needs to go tell all the 'old ravers' still going for it on the dance floor to take their glow sticks and fuck off home because it's not cool any more.

I don't understand how bands are being pin-pointed as 'nu-rave', is this not just a trend?

I dislike some damn good bands such as, The Klaxons, New Young Pony Club and Hadouken being put in this catagory. It suggests to me that it seems it is to do much more with style over substance based around Glowsticks, brightly coloured neon clothes and sunglasses. It's basically just a more pretentious stance on the basic rave genre in the first place.

The Eurovision Shite Contest

Yes. It is simply that.
Does it not embarrass every UK citizen to be represented by four past-it pop wannabes singing a song full of no lyrical substance and non-sensical sexual innuendos while dressed in ridiculous british airways-eque costumes? Flying the flag(For you)? Thanks Scooch, but I'd rather you didn't. You should have given up ten years ago, lets be honest.
It makes me sick that the BBC gave up valuable broadcasting time to put this on, call yourself a public service broadcaster? Surely its a public service to keep this crap off our screens for the sake of public health.
And the winner? A whining lesbian from Serbia who one because they have borders with the most countries. Brilliant.
