manchester! sheffield! south africa!!! gleaming metropolitan oases of
culture all. try living in st helens! its all rugby, pies and pub beer
glasses. tho' last time i was back they had wierdly obtained a tapas bar
("what flavor cheese'n'onion or smokey bacon?"). oh and a (recent?) record
store called revolution (if i remember right) which is utterly magnificent
due to the fact that it stocks lovely vinyl rarities that *no one there
seems interested in* (v/vm xmas single was going for about $6 in *may*).
pity it opened about 15 yrs too late.
could be worse, coulda been 18 formative yrs in wigan.
obthewirevsjockeyslut. maybe i'm being obvious about this but doesn't one
cover dance music that is sometimes experimental and the other covers
experimental music you can sometimes dance to. seems like another case of
whether apples or oranges is currently yer bag. there is no contradiction
involved in v/vm slaggin' the sluts and appearing in the wire, obsessive
eye, or anything else as far as i can see.
