USA Dubstep Scene?

[kidshuffle]

Or you could just be cool and move to Canada

[cyrusfx]

Here are my top 5 reasons to move to California.

#2- Best weather in the country

umm...

Island weather has humidity.
However San Diego does not.
Best Weather in the country belongs to San Diego.

Dude, you're crazy. Thanks for making me get into this stupid argument.

First off, California can be extremely _dry_. I'm from Cali so I know. I'd rather have a little humidity (nowhere NEAR as brutal as midwest or south humidity BTW) than a chapped asscrack. The most hot and humid of days on Oahu do not stack up to an average summer day in Florida, or even Minnesota. There is incredibly little temperature variation here, I'd say about 20 degrees max in the course of 24 hours.

Let's check the temperature ranges for San Diego vs. Honolulu on Wikipedia.

San Diego: highs of 70–78 °F and lows of 50–56 (28 degree variation)

Honolulu: highs of 80-89°F and lows of 65-75 (24 degree variation)

Plus, you'll never freeze to death in Honolulu. Not ever, no matter what time of day or year. I rarely even use a blanket.

Sorry to everybody else that had to endure this supercilious debate.

What part of California are you from?

I lived in Okinawa Japan for 2 years.
Island weather is not for me. To much rain and humidity.
Different strokes for different folks. I have bad knees from the Marines.
So I can feel a storm brewing.

Anyway,the US isn't a scene. This country is too spread out. A lot of little scenes here. [/quote]



Have you been to SMOG or a Pure Filth event yet?[/quote]

No because it is 1,000's of miles away. I think you are missing my point.

fwiw I'll take 78 - 50 over 89 - 65 any day.

If you can, come out to Texas. Lots of good talent holding it down all over Texas.

And you can't beat that southern hospitality and the beautiful women of Texas.

[cyrusfx]

What part of California are you from?

Santa Barbara. Lived in L.A. for 6 years, have visited San Diego a handful of times. I prefer Hawaii weather. In the summer it can be humid and hot when the winds die down, but the temperature never ever goes above 92, ever.

Different strokes for different folks.

True dat, let's leave it there.

To the OP:
Look me up when you're in Boston.
I'll buy you some pints.

PLZZZ..


I live a block away from the beach. I split a 2/2 bath with a roommate at $825 a piece. It's not that bad. Seriousss..

I'm a grown ass man. Why the fuck would I want a roomate?

Man wouldn't that be great to live alone? I went from mum and dads to roomates to wifey and two boys followed her.

[pkay]

And $2200 rent!

Nah, not everywhere. Lots of the 'burbs have rents in line w/ the rest of the country (more or less) - but as I live in SF, which has about the most ridiculously inflated rents in the entire country after Manhattan - all I can say is THANK GOODNESS FOR RENT CONTROL!

Oh, and the thing about California weather is totally relative. San Diego's weather pisses me off. Too fucking hot! I likes it cool & breezy. Gives me an excuse to wear poorly coordinated layers.

It's not the U.S., but if you do get to travel - and since they're a member of the Commonwealth so entry will be EZ for ya - definitely check out Vancouver, BC. That place rules.

I lived in Mira Mesa for a few years.

San Diego is in the top 5 yearly for car theft/rim theft. If you have a ride worth a shit you need a garage or it's going to be in TJ tomorrow.

3 Bed, 2 bath, 2 car garage $2200 in Mira Mesa. Loved my time there but fuck that rent.... plus those fires get a little too close.

Stateside bachelor is the life :p

[evil madmen]

Chicago has a pretty decent scene as long as youre 21. Denver also has the sub.mission crew who always throw down

[machination]

minneapolis has a solid scene september '09 to february '10 will have brought the following laundry list:

benga
16bit
mary anne hobbes
eskmo
vaski (mpls native)
excision
distance
plastician
beats antique

and regular shows "Bass Farmin" and a Konkrete Jungle biweekly that is more Dubstep than DnB or Jungle these days

I've seen the cops in TJ driving around with stolen trucks and Cali plates still on the truck.

Overall theres pockets of good consistant dubstep scenes in the US.

The bad thing is the US is a massive country and we have a shit travel system.

Just save your pennies for some of the big one off shows. Or better yet WMC. WMC is going to be dominated by dubstep this year.

re: TJ - there's no good reason to go there right now with the cartel wars killing more in that city than NYC & Chicago combined. Fuck that noise. No amount of cheap beer or pills is worth that.

Southern California is an acquired taste for many... and despite spending lots of time down there, I never acquired it. Northern California has more and different kinds of terrain, climate, etc. imho. (Oh no! Not the NorCal vs. SoCal debate again! heh.)

What's interesting to me is that if this were the reverse - an American traveling to the UK - I doubt there'd be quite as much variation in response. 85% would say "just go to London" with a few regionalists piping up to the contrary.

In some ways, the US is almost like several smaller "nations" all lumped together in name and barely by language. But in other ways, we have less regionalism than a country a fraction our size...

See as much of North America as you possibly can and decide for yourself I guess.

Well regionalism is dissapearing with the info age. It's still there just not as strong as it used to be. I bet you don't even know what a Pittsburgh accent sounds like

you think TJ is bad, try El Paso/Juarez.

Right now it sounds like people crying because their football team got shitcanned by the fucking browns
