Yeah sounds pretty standard acid techno. I bet there are some good pass me the spliff conspiracy theories doing the rounds. Good blink and youll miss it shot of a cock drawn into the dirt of someones back window
 

woops

is not like other people
Mark leckey would be into that


i went to this it was crap, although i've heard we went when it was out of order or something like that, but stood there for 15 minutes and nothing much happened it was crap, and the "reproduction" of the motorway bridge was crap too, just stuck in the corner against the ceiling tiles, immersive it was not. fiorucci made me hardcore is much better

Dont think ive been to an actual exhibition of his, but i like fiorucci. I watched fiorucci the other night for about the 5th time.

Keep meaning to watch ‘dream english kid’ but havent done so yet.

I like the general idea of motorway bridges being powerful like stone circles though, i think thats what hes getting at with the installation.

Did you watch the video, what do you think of the song? I cant tell if its good or ridiculous.

Better Days’ documents over 30 years of UK rave culture; from the first wave of illegal free parties to lockdown gatherings during the global pandemic and everything in between. Featuring interviews with Prospa, Sherelle, Orbital, Dance System, Denis Sulta, TSHA, and more. Original score by Overmono.

Not holding out much hope for this, but I'll watch it anyway. It looks like it'll cover lockdown and its effects, so here's as good as place as any to mention it...

I was out in Leeds last night again for a night I really didn't want to go to, wife's cousin and her partner had got us tickets to see the streets dj, cos they love him for some reason.

Anyway, the warm up dj, called r-o-v, did a very good sort of history of UK dance set that was actually brilliant.

But the best thing was the crowd. Yoh could feel all that pent up anxiety transforming into actual love. It was like ibiza.

I found myself thinking about the forum quite a lot.

And I wrote these notes in my phone. I was gonna get my notebook out but I thought that would be a bit much.

But the general feeling I had was that something could be happening.

Phone notes:

So nice to see you
After all this time

There's an atmosphere like rave
Jovial
Something could happen

I've got heartburn and a girl just gave me rennie

I think he's gonna end on jungle
There's no where else to go

Something kinaesthetic japoens

I move my hands

They cheer

The phones are out
But they will get subsumed like everything else
It's just telly
Again

You're doing your best to bring him up

But he's not coming up

I kept thinking

If this was ibiza 99

There would be podiums

But instead

These lads have to get up on the sofas

And it all ends in jungle

Of course it has to end in jungle

One interesting thing though, At the very end of the night he played heartbroken which is obviously a Leeds anthem but no one seemed to know it, or at least it didn't go off in the way I expected it to. Cos probably it was a lot of students in there who are not from leeds

The warm up dj played that neighbourhood tune


And I was thinking its almost finnegans wake levels of genius that rhyme of good with hood
