Either that, or set up residence on Ibiza. |
i agree...america needs more good clubs. we've got a farely decent one here in CO and we get great dj's all the time, but it'd be nice to have another choice as well.
and i agree on the kandy kids thing too. i don't see it out as much these days because of age limits like someone mentioned, but we usually try to dress like we're adults and it'd be nice to see girls looking good as well. seems like you gotta go to a bar to find girls to hit on, well, lets get them in the clubs hehehe

yes - but one weekend a year does not sustain the scene.
the underground movement in chicago is HUGE and that is what sustains and furthers the scene - not the big ass clubs.

The only halfways decent club we have in Atlanta is the Eleven50. That's it. There used to be The Globe, but that sure shut down. The only other one I am hearing anything about is this place called the Combine.

Should I really list all the times of I have attempted to help the scene in America. I thought that would be... y'know... boring as all hell.

....yes... the more people interested in the music, the higher demand for sources that play this music. Thusly, more clubs will be built. Economics 101 there.

you do know that the more attention that clubs get, more laws are bound to result from it.

You think clubs don't make enough money to stay open?

nah, that wasnt my point.. i was saying try to be optimistic about it[as long as youre living here] instead of looking seeing how bad things are. international djs spinning in georgia was unheard of say 10 years ago.. i think eventually it will get better.. it will just take some time.

The djs that play at the Eleven50 range from Paul van Dyk, Deep Dish, Irene, Ti�sto, Rap, to... well... hip hop, George Acosta, and whatever else they decide to splice in there.

I'd rather have a club to attend that may be somewhat restricted than one club that has a good show once in a while.

A majority of Americans don't have good taste in a lot of things. Music is one of them.

My question is why in the hell it hasn't changed too much though what with the access one has to it. Why listen to some emo band that sings about bloody eyelashes when you can easily download a track that is meant to uplift you and get you moving? It's just grrrr-ish.

no - in fact, most shows are money losers.
only a few are actually money makers that sustain the other shows.

Because it's popular, and people like to be trend-whores to fit in with their friends.

You got it. Somehow, I tend to not be adept in English. But hey, I can walk and chew gum at the same time and make some meeeaaan Easy Mac, which must account for something... right?
