  1. Over priced. Over policed. Full of cunts. Shite music. Shite booze. Been out for a mate's birthday after a meal and the second I got there I couldn't wait to leave. You can't talk to your mates, it's actually boring. I'm struggling to see the upsides. We're just so used to it being the only place to get drunk after 11 or fed the lie it's a great place to meet someone. Yeah I'm getting old and not supposed to like them but I'm not sure I ever was a big fan. Just make all night bars and pubs more common, a thousand times better

  2. Think it depends what you want a club to be for. I haven’t been to a club night in years, but there was a time when I lived in them - sometimes out as many as four nights a week. For me, clubbing was never about getting pissed or off my head (although that was sometimes a part of it); it was always about the music, dancing and, at times, DJing. The right club, with the right tunes and the right crowd is one of the greatest experiences in life if you’re a music head. There’s no room in my life for clubbing anymore - and I wouldn’t fit in even if there was - but I feel a genuine thrill even now at some of my best memories of being in a great club. I’ve been to famous clubs, massive clubs and tiny dives; I’ve seen most of the biggest DJs in the world who were playing out in the post-disco golden age of clubbing of the late 80s and into the 90s and also sets played by mates in little back rooms. Great nights include Soul II Soul at The Fridge in Brixton (can’t claim to have been to The Africa Centre, sadly), That’s How It Is and Dingwall’s with Gilles Peterson, Metalheadz with Goldie, Renaissance in Mansfield, Golden in Stoke/Hanley, Back To Basics, Vague, Wobble, Cream, Bugged Out and more. These were all about a group of people who shared a love of a particular type of music and wanted to dance to it and, though they’re fewer and further between than they were, they still exist. If I was in my teens or twenties now I’d be getting myself to Deviation, the Co-op revival nights or some place I’ve never heard of because I’m too old and too far removed from that life. I fucking love/loved clubbing and always will. Despite all those great/famous places I went to - sometimes regularly, sometimes once - the best feeling for me was always being a regular at Make It Funky in Sheffield while I was a student. It was just a local crowd with local DJs but it felt like “ours” and the tunes were always right. The other great feeling is going to a one off special night, like Winston & Parrot’s occasional soul/modern soul nights back then that would draw a slightly older, more niche (for want of a better word) crowd. So in short, I fucking love clubs. Not those shit lowest-common denominator places for people to get pissed and pull though; no, they’re obviously awful and I don’t even think of them as clubbing. A great club though is one of the most deeply personal places on earth if you genuinely love music and dancing and I miss them even now as 50 approaches.

  3. 100% Correct. After the debacle of the millenium new years eve i.e. everywhere massively overpriced, shortage of taxis, no shortage of knobheads, a bunch of us decided that was it for clubbing. We'd still go to pubs, but then later on gather at one of the groups house or flat. It was ace, we could drink reasonably priced ale, do drugs in peace, listen to music that we liked and all with the guarantee of no interference from the usual cunts that you find in nightclubs. Worked for us.

  9. There are no non-patchy studio albums. But you're right. He really did stuff no-one had done before. Melodies and chord progressions that were not of this world at the time. Complexity and simplicity in the same song - one of the fantastic things about Stevie Wonder's music is it's accessibility - music buffs/technicians and casual listeners alike can appreciate it. And what a fantastic singer, and what a fantastic keyboardist, blues harp player and arranger. One of the most talented musicians in history.

  10. Article on the BBC about how Bolton's players and staff have again gone unpaid this month as the owner again looks to sell the club. One of the interested parties is a former owner of Watford who was banned for 3 years in 2013 from holding a position of authority at a Football League club for financial misconduct and dishonesty. And yet he's in line to take control of a football club again. These fit and proper persons test clearly don't do anything because it's still too easy for shitehawks to get in and fuck clubs up.

  22. Ha. The journeys, eh? Maddest night of my life was a NYE at Golden (I reckon probably ‘94 into ‘95, but can’t be sure). Gordon Kaye (who was incredible there) played and he always had a live percussionist with him to take the tunes to another place. The main room room was amazing but I fucked off to the back room for a good hour early on where a lad who used to warm up in there (I think his name was Rob; I’ve still got a mix tape of his he gave me somewhere) was playing a funk and hip hop set. He used to love me because I’d always get a crowd onto the floor for him by just jumping out there. Then we all re-grouped on the main floor for an amazing night. My mate drove us home and we had to stop on the M6 at about 6am as I felt sick. We got out on the hard shoulder of a deserted motorway and the fresh air immediately made me feel better. As as I was recovering, my mate cranked up the tunes and Wanna Be Starting Something by Michael Jackson came on which sent us sll nuts to the point we ended up dancing on the barrier in the middle of the central reservation of the M6 at about 6am on New Year’s Day. Great times and great memories.

  27. Genuinely don't understand why people are A, watching the City game, B, getting angry about it and C, trying to highlight that they've bought their way to success. They were always going to go on a winning run, they have quality players in their side and a manager who knows how to win games against fodder. Put all your energy into tomorrows game because whatever the outcome of this season, we're in it for the long-term here and eventually, we'll twat everyone including City.
