so, paying to see five blokes play their own compositions (except most of their early stuff ripped from black american bluesmen) could be considered fairly good value.
btw xamount i've probably forgotten more about dance music and clubs than you know now - i reckon i had 25 years start on you!
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ok, here we go...
Firstly, I can't believe a man like yourself would post such a " I know more about music than yao" post. Really .Read the quote back to yourself? What were you thinking? ON the hierbas? Or will you just throw the "I was only winding you up" joker card? A first time for everything, I suppose.
Secondly, I doubt you are correct, despite your many advanced years. Obscure spanish folk music, sure. Dance, perhaps not. You don't know me, and anyone who knows me on this board know my 3 skills lie in Music knowledge, Microsoft Excel, and a third which I can't mention. In that order.
So, after you've tried to belittle me, I suppose your next step will be to "show off" and reel of all these "facts" which you, as a Dance Music encyclopaedia will know. Perhaps how I don't know Dance music wouldn't exist without x or y. Go ahead. Enlighten me. Tell me all you've "forgotten", if you can. Your type are two-a-penny on internet music boards, and frankly, you're an idiot for saying you know better than someone you don't even know. Especially me. Fact.
Thirdly, I didn't say you don't know about music. I say you hate nightclubs. Are you going to deny that? With a comment like "listen to a bloke playing records", you don;t sound like anyone too enthusiastic, or even knowledgeable about what a nightclub is. And you are IMO (as in other threads) in some obscure denial about their impact on the island. Of course the obvious answer would be to bow to your all-encompassing knowledge of the island, what being a resident and all, but you do tend to be rather overly protective of your fellow adopted country.
Back to the original point, which you clearly sidestep, the probelm was that ticket people sneakily forced you to pay an extra £65 per ticket. Now, in comparison to your throwaway "listen to a bloke playing records" comment, it's not a fair comaprison at all.
A nightclub has much more other attractions (design, drinks, atmosphere I could go on), that for many people, the dj is a pretty low priority.
Stop me if I'm wrong.
Oh, and away you go, educate me on what a open minded man like yourself KNOWS I don't know. Go on, try and keep it objectively factual though, please.
I mean, really...
(Don't mean to be harsh. I stay out of Mckrakin's "Where am I" threads, as I know nothing about Ibiza scenery. I suggest you do the same with the music forum?)
Stil, as long as we're not taking things too serously, eh?
