yes. next week there's vladislav delay and janek schaeffer, last night post human... and more i'm sure. sprawl do good stuff regulary and there are always loads of flyers in record shops. there's something every other saturday somewhere in the westend that sounds interesting, but i can't for the life of me remeber the name.. anyway, big black poster in smallfish...

:) me too.. or that i have no friends ;( i mean, no friends in london that like the same music as me... ok there's my grilfriend who is more of an idm freak than me but up till last week she was doing a levels and couldnt go out...

last night i was at the smak instore at smallfish with a friend (from out of london!) and he wanted to dance, but was too scared to because no one else was, and it was a bit intimidating. things like are very chin stroking, and sprawl too. probably because of the nature of the venue, etc... anyway all nighjtwe just discussed the rules of listening to idm, like you are alloweed to nod, or tap your feet, but dancing is out. except freaky dancing... anyway it was a joke. dance if you want... if theer's no one dancing it's very hard to start yourself, unless you are very drunk or whatever, but if teher's more people dancing then it's easier. i guess it's just the british stiff upper lip business...

exactly, like there's some stigma attatched to people who dont like dancing, liek they're boring or some thing...

ha ha ha... you should have seen the bloke at the skam night at futuresonic: he was scary kind of drug induced morris dancing, lots of jumping up and down and sliding around on his winkle pickers, and best of all air knob twiddling, oh yes!! i bet he's on here actually and he'll flame my arse off now... at that furturesonic thing, no one was dancing to the fatcat stuff, no one was even there ;) but the skam stage was packed, loads of people dancing, but then that was more iDm than Idm hmm... not that it matters...
