so my post about the rave piano sounds seemed to get some people quite excited. i have always been so interested in the 80s/90s rave culture we had over here in the UK. admittedly i was born in 84, so was too young for the summer of love in 89. however, i have a much older brother, who was right in the thick of it, and at the time was someone i looked up to very much. anyway, i can't really remember much apart from the music and the clothes, but i found a really cool documentary on youtube about the summer of 89. its very entertaining and shows, in my opinion a really cool part of history that the youth should be proud of!

the scene is ok, still fun, its just full of psy trance and dreadlocks and drum circles though. ;)

the stone ponies and the happy mondays suck. I'm sorry.
but I really like acid house.
has anyone heard glowstix? they're on Cock Rock Disco. I like them because they pretty much took the stuff I liked about 90's rave music and little of the stuff I don't like.

I remember getting on a central line tube at bethnal green one sunday morning back in 1987 tripping my face off, after partying in a warehouse for hours. All these proper old school city guys in bowler hats and pin strip suits, didnt bat an eyelid at me even though I had dirt all up the legs of my jeans, was all grimey from sweating it up loads and big black holes for eyes.
