Fabric lives on! Absolutely the right decision, but can't help but think there's more to the story than we've seen. I wonder what the real reasons were for wanting it shut down. Anybody with half a brain realises that deaths are going to happen regardless, and Fabric is one of the best equipped clubs in the world to deal with somebody that's in danger from drug use. Shutting it down would see more people die imo.
Same reason as they want to shut anything down. Sell the property for bazillions.
The real reasons for wanting it shut down were the same reasons anything is shut down by London councils: to sell it off for luxury flats. If they really gave a shit about kids taking drugs they should be in the estates rather than Fabric.
EDIT: high five phonics. This one got lucky because it became a lefty cause celebre and the mayor got involved. Most aren't so lucky.
Got to say though, "Could we reduce deaths by bringing down the BPM?" has been one of the best questions I've ever heard asked.
Nightclubs are shit, that's the main reason it should be shut down.
Got such a hard on for Buddy Holly at the moment. What a voice.
The Arches in Glasgow shutting down has had that effect. The same nights and people have moved to other, less stringent places and the number of people getting fucked up has risen.Originally Posted by Offshore Toon
The way it got to the point of shutting down was an absolute joke though. The Arches was the only club in Glasgow to do proper searches on the door and report all drug use to the police, then the police used the higher numbers it was reporting to push for its license to be revoked. It was still incredibly easy to get stuff in, behind your belt tucked into one of the loops always works, but pretty much everywhere else you can just walk in with whatever in your pockets and even if you're caught the bouncers will just confiscate it, turn you away, and then sniff it themselves.
If anyone hasn't seen this before. It's a song Justin Vernon wrote after seeing a screener for Wish I Was Here. This live version is incredible. Also, is that Jon Favreau?
While we're on churchy music, can't beat this-
More Bon Iver a capella goodness:
Yeah, Eats Everything said even the DJs are getting searched to the same ridiculous standards at Fabric. People will just end up necking all their stuff before going in.
Lexicon of Love by ABC is a fucking amazing album. I bloody love the 80s.
Heard two utterly fabulous songs today:
Aphex Twin just announced for Field Day. That'll be special.
@Magic any intention of seeing a bit of punk at Book Yer Ane Fest this weekend coming? Quite like the cowpunk/folk punk stuff Make That A Take bash out so nearly headed up for it had it not been for social clashes/general logistical headaches of getting to Dundee.
cowpunk
Cow Spunk
Simon Cowellpunk
Kerplunk
Erm no lol. I looked up the flyer, I hadn't heard of any of the pubs it's at. Now I Googled them and I know, I'd definitely never go. LOL.
For the first time...?
Yep.
The Ramones really do embody punk, in that their sound is so incredibly dated.
I've never heard either. If I clicked those links it would be the first time.
I was gonna make some snide comment about people never hearing i wanna be sedated before but I think it might have been on a Tony Hawks game or something.
Too hipster for one and one just makes up his tastes, interests and general life by the hour so it's not that surprising.
The Ramones are hipster? I'd never have put them as that, I just really don't like punk.
I'd have said hipster was a bastard offshoot of punk (and other alternative scenes) yeah.
I'm a twat but i'm not a liar. If I was just making stuff up I'd think of more interesting stuff than what I post on here.
oh shit were you talking to giggles? i've fucked up haven't i
Yeah you were agreeing with me and I've just assumed you were having a goOoops, sorry @Adamski. Someone ban me for a week, I've had a fucking mare here.
I presume that one was Magic. Though maybe that was me, and I just assumed the hipster one was me.
I'm confused now too.
How the fuck have you just heard I Wanna Be Sedated?
Because I'm not over enamored about punk. I've really got in to the Pistols recently though and the Ramones sound great. I've never really listened to them before.

You're a twat and a liar.
Brb just away to make a thread on knitting. Really in to that just now.
Also I want a telescope.
I mean sure that's fair and all but I just feel like it's one of those songs.
Like saying you've never heard "Rocket Man" or "In The Air Tonight".
Except it's really not.
Holy shit having continued down the thread I realized there were TWO people who've never heard of it.
Is it me? Am I overstating the Ramones?
I'm not even particularly fond of punk whatsoever or anything I just kinda assumed everyone's heard that song so many times they literally seek sedation themselves at this point.
I mean it's in 1000 movies, 30 different video games. I'm honestly shocked at these developments.
Blitzkreig Bop is one of those songs.
Oh look more exaggeration.
Not sure how I missed it at the time given how often he's playing around Glasgow but Auntie Flo's album from last year is great. I think combining "club music" and "world music" often ends up sounding quite tacky but he's nailed it.
This is the highlight, more the latter than the former but it is quite stunning:
A wild hyperbole appeared!
Magic feigns surprise!
It's ineffective.
:S
Which is the face I made when you pointed out I used a hyperbole for no apparent reason.
But you were doing that annoying American thing where it's not obvious.
Get your tits out, Bruh.
Ah yes. Obviously exaggerating but not to the right degree is certainly an issue that plagues me and my fellow countrymen. Apologies.
You leave my tits alone, buster.
Why don't you just stop being an annoying shit?
