i really do look in despair at my fellow students sometimes. many of them are perfectly happy to pay the £4 entry fee for our union a couple of times a week for all three years of their degrees (they only go to the union and 'Mercy' in town, pikey cheese) where the songs in the NME top 10  are played EVERY SINGLE TIME. the union is always full of wankers on these nights too, and it is necessary to be sufficiently pissed upon entering to have any chance of getting any mild enjoyment from the evening.

NME's Associate Editor Dan Silver said: "It's gratifying to see that today's students are forging their own cultural identity by adopting the likes of Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs as their top anthems.

Ooh yes liking the arctic monkeys etc. really does set you apart from the crowd. It just proves that many students lack the capability to think for themselves and actually decide what they like rather than what is being played/what everyone else is listening to. If I never hear 'Mr Brightside'/'I predict a riot' again, I'll be a very happy man.

ah the classic nme student guide, check the city guides and i think you will find in brighton every single one of my rivals clubs are listed, i go out of my way to ensure mine are not.

if you are deemed fashionable you very quickly become unfashionable.

relax.


i get absolutely fucked on whatever, go to a cheap shit nightclub and flap around to whatever they play.

but i get a gold star for last night getting the deej to play too much too young and i am the resurrection.

STUUUUUUUUUDENT

Lay abouts.  :D

I was relaxing in the Walkabout last night watching the Watford game... it just happened to be the annual Uni school uniform night accross the road.

Suddenly the place was full of 18/19 yr old women wearing obscenely short skirts.

Football.. Cheap lager and lots of perving ensued.

There are advantages to living in a student town.

id rarther go somewhere playing the same indie tunes all the time than the same old shitty american hip-hop/popy r&b songs which is most of swindon.

Not in Reflex. 80's rules  8)

University students are hardly likely to be people with the most radical taste though are they?  To get there, you've had to be willing to play the conformist educational game for many years, and so become institutionalised in thought.

 Its therefore quite natural to pick up the prevailing institute's zeitgeist which may well be the Kaiser Chiefs, The Killers or The Arctic Monkeys.

 The cool kids, always blow out on the education process.....some even survive the shake out to prosper.

lies!

It annoys me how people class music into groups such as "student music"

People who listen to "student music" because they are students annoy me. People should listen to what they like and not what students are supposed to like.

  I didn't know you were at university.

I shall be, barring complete disaster, and I wouldn't consider myself a conformist in any shape or form...

   There is, of course, an exception to every rule.

good luck with your course, but if i had a quid for every time i heard a student doing the 'i didn't do my homework because i'm a  non-conformist' line i'd be conforming myself all the way to a very conformist private beach in the carribean. Well actually, it would have to be 1,000,000 quid, but you should get my meaning.  show interest in your subject, by all means question it - but back it up with reasoned argument - and you will do well; even if you do like morrisey.

That's not the line I'm using, nor is it one I would ever use. I'm not a non-comformist, I just don't neccesarily conform.

I didn't work hard enough last year, did okay, I've been working much harder so far this year and it's paying dividends...which is nice.

p.s. it's spelt Morrissey  :wink:

 :oops: and i actually remember him the first time around...

so which club(s) in brighton do you own/run/etc then fella?

kick out the jams @ the gloucester ask blackcurrant and village, where is village?
holdup @ the arc ask larwood birdy and village
yoof club @the hothouse ask sonic in 12 months
also involved with snide @audio and dynamite boogaloo @ audio

Mex, what type of music do you play? Is it all indie esque ?

yes pretty much

Its ace 8)
From what i can remember there were at least two Smiths songs both nights :D

Yes I thought both nights were ace, although we were pretty spaced out the 2nd night  :|

Yep,we're were embarrassingly crap the second night,which was no reflection on Mex's club night  8) its just we were well boring old gits :oops:

we still enjoyed the music though.  I am never drinking that much ever again  :|

It was great. Tuaca is great. Great.

but having pictures of you taken in just your skidmarked y-fronts?

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'm sure he's very good at what he does but indie isn't really my cup of tea.

erazure, pet shop boys and jimmy summerville more your cup of tea?

Got it in one Leggett, not forgetting Bananarama.
