bit of the first two i reckon, almost everything i go to these days is fairly rammo, and also i'm finding a few of the people i always used to see when i first started going to nights are hardly ever there any more, seeing a vast increase in the number of skinny jeans and stupid haircuts though

Exodus was fucking ramjam a couple of Saturdays ago! I think people will still go to the big nights, it's the smaller, more regular nights that are the best measure of how the local scene is doing.

Well, the recession in the late 80s coincided with the birth of acid house and rave culture... we can only hope this one is so much fun!
