Originally posted by EddieZilker To be fair, maybe clubs are what they are, no matter your geography. Whether you turn the flood lights on here or in London, when the club has just emptied, the illusion is ripped and you're still left with blood and vomit stains in the corners underneath the layer of cigarette ash and spilled Kamikaze. I have reason to believe the scene in your area is more advanced but I question if, in my years, I would see it in the same light as you or would I be more jaded about it all.

Bullshit. Utter bullshit. I've lived in backwater towns where clubs were nightmarish meat markets and the DJs Top 40 rapists. If you can't feel any difference then I feel sorry for you. I spent most of my life in a small town in the middle of nowhere that didn't even have a record shop, dreaming of this scene where there were like-minded people and great parties. I had a moment recently when I was walking down Oldham Street in Manchester, record shopping to kill time before I saw Leftfield, and I stopped outside a shop window that was displaying the new Alaska LP. I realised I was living my dream. I might not always want to go out on a Friday night and one day I might get bored of it, but I'll always have the freedom to choose. There are thousands of people in America, many of them on this forum, who have that dream.
